Editorial reviews

Many know of the young Anne of Green Gables. However, many fewer know that Montgomery continued Anne's saga through her adult years. This work, the final installment, concerns Anne and Gilber's youngest child, daughter Rilla. It is the summer of 1914, and Rilla is a typically frivolous adolescent girl of 15. However, as the war engulfs her world, she becomes a woman, who must embrace triumphs and tragedies. Barbara Caruso gives a winsome performance in keeping with the heroine. Caruso's voice is clear and her delivery soft. She performs each character with energy and great expression, affecting a separate voice for each.

Publisher's summary

With translations into 15 languages, renowned author L.M. Montgomery penned some 500 short stories and poems as well as the classic Anne of Green Gables novels.

Rilla Blythe, youngest daughter of Anne, is almost 15 in 1914. As her brothers and friends prepare to go off to battle, the irrepressible Rilla realizes that she will be changed forever and the world will never be the same.

Narrator Barbara Caruso presents a poignant delivery of this family classic.

A must read to any Anne Shirley fan

The last book in the Anne of Green Gable series bravely takes on the difficulties that the Canadians back at home went through during the First World War. Guaranteed to make me cry every time I read or listen, this book is an amazing finish to the series. Barbara Caruso’s performance was okay, but the recording changes volume now and then. Heavily recommended

Rilla of Ingleside

I liked it when Rilla planned a wedding. I also liked it when Gem came home. I would recommend this book to everyone.

The Great War at PEI

Rilla of Ingleside is by far the best novel I have read about World War I. Having lived through the war herself, L.M. Montgomery tells the story through the eyes of the mothers and fathers, sisters, wives and sweethearts that fought the Great War on the home front in an account that is both heartbreaking and beautiful. And Barbara Caruso does as good of a job narrating this last in the Anne of Green Gables series as she does with all the rest.

What a moving human story

This book is read beautifully by Barbara Caruso as are all the books she reads. And the story is timeless and Heartwarming and heartbreaking. The series of books should be read by old and young to just be reminded of human fragility and human joy and all of the other traits both good and bad. What a remarkable Author!

Beautiful ending to the series

I like this one for its dive into World War I and the theme of war and conflict in general and how it conflicts with the theme of youthfulness and joy that is ever so present throughout the series.

Best book Iv'e heard

I loved this book I've listened to it at least 10 times. I can nearly say it word for word. I think the narrator really understands the people in the book

A faithful take on a childhood classic

Old books can often simply feel dated. While this one isn't entirely exempt, it is also singularly charming and life affirming in a way that one rarely encounters anymore. Earnest and heart-warming without becoming saccharine.
