In 1914 Rilla Blythe, youngest daughter of Anne, is almost 15. Life with her many brothers and sisters has been delightful and Rilla dazzles everyone she meets with her charm and beauty. Her biggest worries are the upcoming dance at the Four Winds Lighthouse and whether Kenneth Ford will ask her to dance.

Her special night is shattered with the announcement that war has been declared in Europe. As her brothers and friends prepare to go off to battle, the irrepressible Rilla realizes that she will also be changed forever. In fact, the world will never be the same again.

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

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.

Barbara Caruso does a wonderful job, as always, reading this final book of the Anne of Green Gables series. This book is my least favorite of them all. There are some sweet little stories woven in, but the absolute overloaded war sentiment really takes away from the plot. I can only imagine that Ms. Montgomery would have been lynched if she had not written such a syrupy account of wartime in P.E.I., if the accounts in this book at all reflected the sentiments of the general populace!

It was a really great book and I have listened to it countless times. Just I wish Walter did not die. And I didn't like the ending but I love all other parts of the book.

Amazing!
