Anne's children were almost grown up, except for pretty, high-spirited Rilla. No one could resist her bright hazel eyes and dazzling smile. Rilla, almost fifteen, 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. 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.

I like Rilla, but to be honest I lost interest in the Anne series. I wanted to finish it for two reasons: It was the last book; and my grandma gave it to me.
PSA: Apparently, the Bantam edition of this is abridged - with some 4500 words having been left out from the original. The Gutenberg edition should be complete though.Again, not an "Anne"-book as such, as the focus is definitely on Rilla. Still, one can forgive LMM for that, as it's still mostly abo...
This was the first book that ever made me cry. If you haven't read it yet be sure to keep a box of tissues handy. You will need them.It was enjoyable to hear from a slightly different protagonist in the form of Anne's youngest daughter, Rilla. A trifle stuck-up at first, she quickly becomes a more r...
