Marilla of Green Gables by Sarah McCoy
5.0

I adored this story much more than I thought I would and am even more happy that I loved it so! Giving more background to Marilla Cuthbert’s origins, it’s an independent story all on its own that doesn’t derive or derail the beloved story of Anne’s. It’s a much different and unique one that differs from our spunky red head.

As it seems to be the trend to suddenly have prequels to beloved stories, I was nervous about this addition to my beloved Green Gables. Marilla was always a character who was just there and even though she could be stubborn, she still loved Anne deeply. This novel (or audiobook from my experience), doesn’t take away from the magic of the Gables, but rather will remind you of how much you love the little community of Avonlea.
