Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874-1942) was a Canadian author best known for a series of novels with Anne of Green Gables, an orphaned girl, mistakenly sent to a couple, who had intended to adopt a boy. Anne novels made Montgomery famous in her lifetime and gave her an international following. The first novel was followed by a series of sequels with Anne as the central character. Montgomery went on to publish 20 novels as well as 530 short stories, 500 poems, and 30 essays. Most of the novels were set in Prince Edward Island, and locations within Canada's smallest province became a literary landmark and popular tourist site.

Concludo l'anno con un libro che non mi ha fatto impazzire e che ho trascinato per 3 settimane, nonostante la sua brevità.
Come "Anna dai capelli rossi", "Marigold" è un succedersi di avventure a ogni capitolo, che, però, non danno una sorta di continuità ma fanno allontanare dalla protagonista.
Alcune sono divertenti e si finisce per affezionarsi alla piccola Marigold, alla sua stramba famiglia e alla sua amica immaginaria (che porta pure il mio nome)...ma l'empatia non è venuta a crearsi e finire il libro è stato un sollievo!
Confido in un prossima lettura che mi possa appassionare di più!
