This is a gut punch of a read. If you read the original trilogy or saw the movies, you know this is going to be tragic. However, the author still gives us hope@and keeps us reading and then crushes you to itty bitty pieces. Still an excellent read, but now I need to go rewatch/reread the original so I know it is not all for nothing. 4.5⭐️

#KindredSpiritsBuddyRead #LMMReread

Is there anything else you‘d like to discuss from Rilla of Ingleside?
Was there anything that bothered or frustrated you about the book?
Do you have any favorite passages or scenes you‘d like to share?

lauraisntwilder This is Rilla's book, I know that, but it still makes me sad how little of Anne and Avonlea we get. At one point, Anne mentions not being able to do anything and almost said, "Go write something!" out loud. There's one, very brief, mention of Diana, and Marilla has died between books with no fanfare. Is Rachel Lynde also dead? And did Davy Keith end up in the war? What happened to all our friends?? 15h

#KindredSpiritsBuddyRead #LMMReread

On this umpteenth re-read for me, what struck me as new (more than just the “new” passages that I discovered had been excised from my old faithful Bantam paperback!!), was seeing so much of LMM‘s WWI experience on the page.

If you‘ve been reading LMM‘s journals, what did you notice in Rilla of Ingleside that echoed LMM‘s thoughts and experiences during WWI?

lauraisntwilder The journals added so much! I've only read this one other time, in 2023, but I enjoyed it more this time. LMM's terror over the war news makes so much sense in a household with so many young men of "fighting age." It must have been therapeutic for her, to give meaning to those awful years. 15h
lauraisntwilder Specifically, I saw Susan as a sort of stand-in for LMM. She puts her faith in Kitchener and studies maps and waits for news. LMM doesn't quite let us see Susan's moments of weakness though, which is one of the main reasons her journals were so important to her. Her own moments were written out, so she made Susan cook and knit. 15h
