Now 16, Anne has matured and taken on new responsibilities, and in the wake of Matthew's death, she is bound and determined to take care of Marilla. About to begin her teaching job at the local school, she's soon the one learning life lessons. In typical Anne fashion, she is drawn into the lives of others, often meddling in their affairs.

As an avid booklover (and Canadian), I am not sure how it took me until my early 30s to start this series. Green Gables feels like such an enchanting and luminous place, and this second book provided a breath of fresh air. It was an escape to a different time and place, much needed during another lockdown. I enjoyed getting to know the new characters and Anne's ever evolving relationships and her new roles, but I just didn't feel as invested as much as the first. I cannot help but continue to love Anne's imaginative spirit. This timeless series is just such a joy to pick up even if at times it doesn't feel like a whole lot if happening.
With each book I read, this series continues to blossom my dream of visiting PEI one day. I'm definitely looking forward to continuing my journey with Anne in 2022.

"'She told Mother she'd never live to eat their fruit, but she waned to think that something she had planted would go on living and helping to make the world beautiful after she was dead.'"
"That is one good thing about this world...there are always sure to be more springs."
