4.0

So poignant reading a novel written shortly after WW1 and without knowledge of the second that followed so heartbreakingly closely.
Montgomery‘S standard tropes of opinionated elderly women and the anecdotes of cute young boys, intertwined with her personal context regarding religion and class, but with the incorporation of the grief and trials of the freshly endured war years that brought maturity to get writing style.
