Rainbow Valley is the seventh Anne book and WWI marches ever closer, the mentions of the war are a lot stronger here then in previous books and Montgomery's foreshadowing was, occasionally, heavy handed. I'd forgotten how very little of the Blythe family is in this book, let alone Anne, instead it's...
I give it three stars simply because it was the furthest from the well-worn path all the other novels have traveled, but 3.5 stars may be more accurate and Rainbow Valley is still worth reading if you're making your way through the whole series.I finally see what so many other readers have been sayi...

The first few charmed me beyond belief.However, the lot with Anne as an adult and mother are not nearly as entertaining for some reason.

This one was better than the last few have been. I miss Anne and Gilbert, they're just parental figures in the background now. And of course every child for miles loves Anne, big surprise.

It's still a charming book, and I still hugely enjoyed it - but I did miss Anne.Having read LMM's journals, I ...
A new minister has come to the Glen and taken up residence in the manse. With him he brings his four young and motherless children, their mother having previously departed this world. Mr. Meredith is an absentminded sort, rarely taking notice of the world or the scrapes his children get into, and ...
