angelica87 's review for:
Kilmeny of the Orchard
by L.M. Montgomery
I am a fan of LM Montgomery’s “Anne” books and I will be the first to admit that aside from the first “Emily” book I haven’t read anything else by this Canadian author. This week I went up to the cottage and this small book seemed to be exactly what I wanted to read. Told exclusively from the male protagonists point of view, Kilmeny of the Orchard is a story of love at first site and the obstacles that need to be overcome if two people are to be together for the rest of their lives. All in all I thought that it was a cute story. The prose was certainly imaginative and evocative of the island (a place I can picture far better now that I have been there) and while I could figure out early on where the plot was going (i.e. how the two main characters were to meet and fall in love) I was quite surprised by the twists at the end. I give this book a solid three out of five.
