Product Description
Montgomery’s classic book with active table of contents. Rilla of Ingleside 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.

I establish this novel unbelievably trite and packed with propaganda- about how dreadful Germany was, how righteous Canada/England/Europe was, etc. The truth is that WWI came about by a series of dipomatic missteps- and unfortunate ones. Germany may have been ‘more incorrect’ than England, but it was certainly not the fantastic evil that L.M. Montgomery describes it as.
The book IS useful to a historian or student of history who wishes to see how World War II affected persons on the ‘home front’ in day to day life. It is also useful for the copious small details LM Montgomery is a practiced at supplying- the way food was prepared, the way children were raised- the way girls ‘came of age’ and had their debut at age 17 or so. It provides a tantalizing glimpse into a much simpler and vanished world, one where life did seem much more black and white. Now we know that war is not such a matter of excellent vs. evil- there are two sides to every tale. World War II was a direct result of the conditions inflicted upon Germany after World War I- if only LM Mongomery could have known.

I don’t reflect this book is suitable for children. It is bloody, gory and depressing and teaches a hatred of Germans that is hardly approbriate. It is completely set at the homefront during World War I. Anne does not play a role in it, except as a more or less random person. It is all about the heroics of Canadians fighting in Europe and the women back home, with Rilla taking center stage. While I have no doubt that they all were very heroic and this book might have been written as a tribute to them, it is utterly out of date and regularly offensive with its patriotic propaganda. It is extremely simplistic and I shutter at the thought, that people acutally will take this for the history of WWI. It falls completely out of line with the additional Anne of Green Gables books, it has none of the lightness and spirit. If Montgomery wanted to write a tribute to the heroes of WWI, it would have been better to make new characteres for it and not abuse the characters of the Anne books. My recommendation is not to read this book, it doesn’t add to the Anne of Green Gables books but rather distracts from it.

I wish L.M. Montgomery had stopped at book number seven. The joy in reading the “Anne of Green Gables” series was that they were so optimisitic, humorous, and full of hope and happiness. This book was such a downer that I wish I hadn’t read it – but how could I know I’d wish that until after I’d read it? I loved the first seven books, but if you can stand not to read the final book of a series, I’d recommend skipping this one. It was a real disappointment for me. If I want to read history and tales about “the real world” (which I certainly regularly do), then I would choose a book that I expected to be about that. This book does not belong in the “Anne” series.

The first three installments in the “Anne of Green Gables” series have to some of the most wonderful, delightful, all-around greatest books I have ever read. L.M Montgomery has done an absolutely splendid job bringing to life the red-headed girl with a fiery temper to match, but the farther I progressed into the series, the more disappointed I became. For me, the series became monotonous and depressing; the war kills Anne’s beloved child, and I cannot help but despair in the copious times Anne is mentioned with streaks of gray hair, and wrinkles in her face. This is not the lively girl of Avonlea I have come to so dearly like. So, my advice to you would be to read the first three books, and the first part of the 5th, for the end of the series should not overshadow its timeless, and inexpressibly wonderful beginning.

Rila of Ingleside is,in my opinion, a wonderful book. It tells the tale of a young girl named Rilla, not reasonably fifteen and wanting to be a woman. She is still waiting for her first dance and her first kiss. The war starts and her beloved Ingleside is no longer the same. During this experience she gains maturity and a deeper relationship with her mother.
The reason for the four stars is because I reflect that there were too many facts and names and dates in the book for my liking. I reflect that the leader could have excluded a few facts about the war that she chose to place in…
Additional than that, though, I reflect that Rilla of Ingleside is a excellent book with wonderfully refreshing morals, which are so absent from a lot of books written today.
