Montgomery's Heartwarming Rilla of Ingleside in Virago Modern Classic" follows the spirited Rilla Blythe as she navigates the trials of womanhood during World War I on Prince Edward Island.

The novel stands as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of global turmoil.

This Virago Modern Classic edition, with its elegant introduction and thoughtful annotations, invites both longtime fans and new readers to rediscover a cherished tale of courage, community, and the steadfast belief that even in the darkest times, hope can bloom anew.

??? "A heartfelt continuation of the Blythe saga, but I found the pacing uneven -- some chapters felt slow while others raced by. Rilla's growth is touching, but I missed the playful charm of Anne's earlier adventures."

???? "An engaging portrayal of wartime Avonlea. Rilla's transformation from a carefree girl into a resilient young woman is beautifully rendered. The historical context and community spirit shine through, though I wished for more interaction with secondary characters."

???? "A moving and well-crafted story that honors the spirit of the Anne series. Rilla's perspective offers fresh insights, and the depiction of World War I's impact on small-town life is compelling. Some parts felt overly sentimental, but overall, a rewarding read."

????? "Montgomery's finest work beyond Anne herself. Rilla's journey is inspirational and deeply human. The balance of optimism and sorrow is perfectly handled, making this a must-read for fans of historical and coming-of-age fiction."

????? "A timeless classic that resonates with today's readers. 'Rilla of Ingleside' captures the essence of courage, community, and love in wartime. This Virago edition's insightful introduction and notes add richness, making it essential for every bookshelf."
