Anne of Avonlea (L.M Montgomery)
★★★★✩ (4/5)
Short Summary:
After Anne turns down a scholarship to college, she works in Avonlea as a teacher to help pay for college and take care of Marilla, who is steadily losing her vision. She meets Miss Lavender, a lively old spinster, creates a club called "The Improvement Society," and is the same Anne as in Anne of Green Gables.
Key Take-Aways:
Anne is just as optimistic as in Anne of Green Gables as she is in this book. She works diligently to try to reach her goals and is a great help to Marilla, the authority figure in her life.
Quotes:
Marilla Cuthbert: You set your heart too much on frivolous things and then crash down into despair when you don't get them.
Anne Shirley: I know. I can't help flying up on the wings of anticipation. It's as glorious as soaring through a sunset... almost pays for the thud.
Marilla Cuthbert: Well, maybe it does. But I'd rather walk calmly along and do without flying AND thud.
