Rilla of Ingleside (L.M Montgomery)
★★★★★ (5/5)
Short Summary:
Rilla is Anne Blythe's youngest daughter and can't wait to go to her first party, and be a grown up. However, in what she expects to be the happiest years of her life, World War I hits and she is forced to grow up quickly. Throughout the hardships, she goes from a shallow petted baby of the family, to a strong woman.
Key Take-Aways:
Rilla, at the beginning of the book, is pretty, likable, but admittedly shallow. L.M Montgomery did an excellent job of showing character growth in Rilla. I could clearly see how she went from a fine girl to an excellent woman. Also, I really appreciated how at the end of the book, she reflects although the years were full of sadness, she gained much from them, and she didn't want to go back as things were, even throughout the losses.
Quotes:
“Rilla's heart skipped a beat - or, if that be a pysiological impossibility, she thought it did.”

“I could spank Constantine and skin him alive afterwards, that I could," she exclaimed bitterly.
"Oh, Susan, I'm surprised at you," said the doctor, pulling a long face. "Have you no regard for the proprieties? Skin him alive by all means but omit the spanking.”
