Rilla of Ingleside

By: L. M. Montgomery

Narrated by: Anna Fields

The Blythe children are almost grown up, except for pretty, high-spirited Rilla, who is almost 15. She can't think any further ahead than going to her very first dance at the Four Winds lighthouse and getting her first kiss from handsome Kenneth Ford. No one can resist her bright hazel eyes and dazzling smile.

But undreamed-of challenges await the irrepressible Rilla when the world of Ingleside becomes endangered by a far-off war. Her brothers go off to fight, and Rilla brings home an orphaned newborn in a soup tureen. She is swept into a drama that tests her courage and leaves her changed forever.

Rilla of Ingleside

One of my favourites of the Anne series! Set in WWI in P.E.I. A great reader!

Just like I remember

I read this book years ago. But listening to it is even better. Love it

Good book, but glad I stuck with the movies as a child

This was a good story. Obviously, there’s sexist stuff in it, because that was the reality of the times. It always will disappoint me though that the author never really followed the life of Anne once she grew up and she’s barely mentioned in any of the stories and seems to have lost all sense of her personality that we loved so dearly! Gilbert has no real personality or anything remarkable about himself either. It seems as if once people have children, they no longer are individuals and become just like everyone else. So I have found that to be rather depressing, and I’m glad that the Megan Follows movies did not follow the lead of the books. This one is better than some of the other later books in the series, although it is definitely a sad one due to it circling around the war with Germany.

Excellent!

This is an excellent story, read with feeling and deep emotion. It is an excellent read.

great story

The story was very good. And I appreciated that it was free. I liked it.
