LM Montgomery sure does have a gift for making a wacky cast of characters and remembering all their little details, weaving them in later gracefully.

Oh my goodness GILBERT POV??? This is a first in all the novels

Most of those book is fluff and rambling by the older characters. There’s like 10% of the story I actually care about.

Damn this book is long

Oh my goodness! How sad! Anne is really tackling more realities as the book goes on

Not much happens in Four Winds

Literally the Anne books are full of wisdom. “I reckon when the darkness is close to us it is a friend. But when we sorter push it away from us - divorce ourselves from it, so to speak, with lantern light - it becomes an enemy”

Mention of suicide! Wow dark and surprising for an Anne novel

Oooohhhh I like Leslie. She is a very interesting moody character we haven’t seen before. A relief from the boring married life of Four Winds

I can’t really imagine Anne anywhere but green gables
