A real discovery!
This book was a lovely find, beautifully written and, in my opinion, read brilliantly. Distinct voices for every character.
I think that the story was a really interesting reflection of what it must have been like as a family to lose children and other men to a war fought so very far away on a different continent. Also, to see things through the eyes of quite an indulged young teen.
The book is full of really insightful moments and has a lot to teach us about the impact of the first great global conflict.
Remember it was written just over 100 years ago and about people with very different values to us. Enjoy the old fashioned idiom and the carefully worked prose and plot. Don’t downgrade it because it’s not from our era, there are a whole host of universal truths and inspirational standards to take note of.

Moving, funny, heart-wrenching delight!
My 14yo daughter and have I listened to this wonderful recording together every year for 4 years. It is our go-to shared comfort book when tired or ill. We love all the Anne books but this is the one we come back to most often!
It’s a sweeping but deeply personal view of WW1 - distanced from the full force of the horror but you sometimes feel like you’re sitting in Susan’s kitchen waiting with them for the news from the Western Front. There is grief, joy, loss, humour, struggle, honour and faith … plus glorious depth of description of the natural world and human characters as Rilla changes little by little from a girl of 15y to young woman of 19y. No swearing or sex. Very light romance.
