3.5/5



It's so bittersweet to see each character either grows or wilts after the splendid time being framed in the first book, Anne of Green Gables. My heart aches as I feel it happening in my life as well. Despite the fact that the book is somehow too-good-to-be-true and the satiric misspelling is annoying from time to time, Montgomery's writing is just so wonderful that I cannot stop myself from turning to the next page.

* “That’s one of the things we learn as we grow older – how to forgive. It comes easier at forty than it did at twenty.”
