The eighth book in the Anne of Green Gables series, Rilla of Ingleside draws the focus once again to a singular heroine, now Anne and Gilbert’s youngest daughter Rilla, named after the beloved Marilla. Rilla, almost fifteen, is spirited, sweet, and full of life, with bright hazel eyes and dazzling smile, a most lovable and endearing character. On the cusp of heading out into the world, she can’t think any further ahead than going to her very first dance at the Four Winds lighthouse, and getting her first kiss from handsome Kenneth Ford, she hopes. But, there are much bigger things beyond her sight; there is a war going on, World War I, which will test the courage and maturity of the young, and change the lives of everyone forever.

Another great work from Montgomery, she successfully gives historical insight into what was done for the war efforts on the home front, how it affected those at home, and gives a view into how wartime affects the lives of all. Of course, as always, she draws you in with her characters and weaves a tale that is provoking, tearful, and delightful all at the same time.
