Lucy Maud Montgomery: Rilla of Ingleside (2018, Barnes & Noble Press)
English language
Published Nov. 10, 2018 by Barnes & Noble Press.
Anne's children were almost grown up, except for pretty, high-spirited Rilla. No one could resist her bright hazel eyes and dazzling smile. Rilla, almost fifteen, can't think any further ahead than going to her very first dance at the Four Winds lighthouse and getting her first kiss from handsome Kenneth Ford. But undreamed-of challenges await the irrepressible Rilla when the world of Ingleside becomes endangered by a far-off war. Her brothers go off to fight, and Rilla brings home an orphaned newborn in a soup tureen. She is swept into a drama that tests her courage and leaves her changed forever.
I sob every time little Dog Monday goes rushing up to Jem at the train station. EVERY TIME.
I enjoyed the story of this, the war baby and romances, but the war detail got tedious. Still, enjoyable book.
