Anne of the Island

Rereading of 2020 :-)

I love these books, they are nostalgic, cult classics to me, so I am totally invalid to give an unbiased, educated rating :-D

“Gilbert had a sudden vision of Anne, arrayed in a frilly green gown, with the virginal curves of arms and throat slipping out of it, and white stars shining against the coils of her ruddy hair. The vision made him catch his breath.”
Reminds me of my husband _ We have been married for 22 years now. (21 3/4 to be precise ;-)) I'm still sheepishly in love with him, and he with me :-) I like reading things in books that remind me of him, and how I imagine he thinks of me or reacts on me.

I like to think Janet and John Douglas got a couple of children. It's not usual for 40 years old woman to be first time mother, but it's not impossible either. I think she deserves to have children. Though they would probably be orphans by the age of 10, considering that 50 years olds are elderly in this world... I mean, Marilla was 40 years older than Anne, so she was 53 when they adopted her.
