Anne is in this title so little. It's good but I miss her.
Reading this series with my preteen has us in varying agreement. I'm relating so much to Anne as an adult, while my daughter enjoyed the earlier books in the series more. In Anne Of Ingleside I found myself reflected in being on the visited end of long staying guests and their unwelcomed behaviors.
Love, loss, friendship, and so many heartfelt moments I can relate to.
Written mostly as a one sided epistolary, readers get a glimpse of life for Anne during the three years she spends at Windy Poplars while she's the principal at the school as she writes to Gilbert who is away studying to be a doctor.
"... Sometimes I feel as if being grown-up just frightened me and then I would give anything to be a little girl again." page 3
Just another sweet read! I enjoyed how Anne's story was mixed in with stories from her children's perspectives. Two more to go and I'm done this series.
Such a different time in the world, I can't imagine being in charge of a classroom at 17.
This was a fun read. I quite enjoyed it. It was refreshing to follow the Meredith family for once.
