I spent a lovely winter day re-reading a childhood favorite
Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery. A lovely classic about Anne Shirley, a head strong, independent, red-haired orphan mistakenly sent to live with Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert. The pair are siblings who intended to adopt a boy to help on their farm in Avonlea, Prince Edward Island. Anne’s wild imagination, endless chatter, and knack for getting into trouble keep the Cuthberts and the entire community, on their toes with endless angst and laughter. This novel centers around the need to belong and fit in. Along with love, friendship and self acceptance. Readers watch Anne grow into a mature, thoughtful young woman from the mischievous, dreamy child she once was. This is a lovely wholesome novel that is heart warming, naive and sweet which is in stark contradiction to today’s world. This was a much needed read. A reminder of yesterday’s when simple things in life are now taken for granted. I feel there will be more Anne novels read in months to come.
