Revisiting the Anne books of my youth
Onto the second book about Anne, I think that I might not have read this one before.
I certainly remember loving the books as a teenager and reading Anne of Green Gables with my 9 year old granddaughter, I am on a mission to revisit them all.
The old familiar feeling of wanting to know what will happen next, but regret at the end of the story because I will miss the characters; and I don’t want it to end! Choking back tears that the innocent world of Avonlea is so far removed from today’s busy high tech world. I love Avonlea and seeing the world through the author’s characters. Always gives me an emotional reaction, like rekindling a most significant, dear friendship.
Charmingly captivating!
What a beautiful mind the author has, and the gift of drawing the reader through the whole range of emotions - laughter, tears, poignancy, indignation, sadness.
