Rilla of Ingleside by Lucy Maud Montegomery
"Rilla of Ingleside (1921) is the final book in the Anne of Green Gables series by Lucy Maud Montgomery, but was the sixth of the eight "Anne" novels she wrote. This book draws the focus back onto a single character, Anne and Gilbert's youngest daughter Bertha Marilla "Rilla" Blythe. It has a more serious tone, as it takes place during World War I and the three Blythe boys—Jem, Walter, and Shirley—along with Rilla's sweetheart Ken Ford, and playmates Jerry Meredith and Carl Meredith—end up fighting in Europe with the Canadian Expeditionary Force."
That was Wikipedia's review on this splendid novel, and here is mine: it is simply MARVELLOUS. I had such a good time reading this novel, along with other ones, because I couldn't be torn off so quickly from this series, so it took me a long period to complete it. I was more than acquainted with the characters, and it nearly broke my heart to be separated from all of the dear ones. I shed some bitter tears over the death of Walter Blythe, and then I laughed at Susan's quotes which were not meant to be jokes at all, and it all came out with a favourite-of-all-time.
A really good read, and you must give it a try. Happy reading!
