I sincerely think they boost my immune system! I read Anne of the Island and my cold vanished the next day. It's probably because nothing warms my soul like mushy, endearing Anne. True, her life is hella boring now that she's a wife and mother (and OMG a Conservative!), and we have to rely on her neighbors for adventures, but still. I'm as interested in her as any of my flesh and blood childhood friends. First sentence: “Thanks be, I’m done with geometry, learning or teaching it,” said Anne Shirley, a trifle vindictively, as she thumped a somewhat battered volume of Euclid into a big chest of books, banged the lid in triumph, and sat down upon it, looking at Diana Wright across the Green Gables garret, with gray eyes that were like a morning sky. ETA: I don't know how many times I've read this series--dozens??? scores???? My most recent read through is December 2023. It is just as magical as when I first discovered the series in the late 1980s. Premise/plot: Anne Shirley marries Gilbert Blythe in this oh-so-lovely, oh-so-charming book by L.M. Montgomery. Technically, it is the sequel to Anne of the Island! Anne of Windy Poplars was written in the 1930s, decades after Anne's House of Dreams. In this Anne book, the happily married couple settle down in their first home together near Four Winds Harbor and Glen St. Mary. Anne's House of Dreams introduces many new characters--some of my favorites I admit--Captain Jim, Miss Cornelia, Leslie Moore, Owen Ford. Marshall Elliot. Susan Baker. Who would ever want to forget their stories? Captain Jim's life-book. Leslie Moore's tragic past but enduring spirit. Miss Cornelia. She's got to be one-of-a-kind. Just a truly spirited character with so much heart and full of gumption. Practically everything out of her mouth is quotable. She sure is great at banter! My thoughts: I love and adore this one!!! I love how emotionally satisfying it is. The Anne books may have sweet moments, but they pack in reality as well. No one can make me cry like L.M. Montgomery. Quotes: “Stoutness and slimness seem to be matters of predestination,” said Anne. Jane was not brilliant, and had probably never made a remark worth listening to in her life; but she never said anything that would hurt anyone’s feelings — which may be a negative talent but is likewise a rare and enviable one. “I’ve heard you criticise ministers pretty sharply yourself,” teased Anne. “Yes, but I do it reverently,” protested Mrs. Lynde. “You never heard me NICKNAME a minister.” Anne smothered a smile. Their happiness was in each other’s keeping and both were unafraid. “Miss Cornelia Bryant. She’ll likely be over to see you soon, seeing you’re Presbyterians. If you were Methodists she wouldn’t come at all. Cornelia has a holy horror of Methodists.” “I know we are going to be friends,” said Anne, with the smile that only they of the household of faith ever saw. “Yes, we are, dearie. Thank goodness, we can choose our friends. We have to take our relatives as they are, and be thankful if there are no penitentiary birds among them. Not that I’ve many — none nearer than second cousins. I’m a kind of lonely soul, Mrs. Blythe.” There was a wistful note in Miss Cornelia’s voice. “Were you able to eat enough pie to please her?” “I wasn’t. Gilbert won her heart by eating — I won’t tell you how much. She said she never knew a man who didn’t like pie better than his Bible. Do you know, I love Miss Cornelia.” “Our library isn’t very extensive,” said Anne, “but every book in it is a FRIEND. We’ve picked our books up through the years, here and there, never buying one until we had first read it and knew that it belonged to the race of Joseph.” A woman cannot ever be sure of not being married till she is buried, Mrs. Doctor, dear, and meanwhile I will make a batch of cherry pies. “I wonder why people so commonly suppose that if two individuals are both writers they must therefore be hugely congenial,” said Anne, rather scornfully. “Nobody would expect two blacksmiths to be violently attracted toward each other merely because they were both blacksmiths.” The p’int of good writing is to know when to stop. There’s only the one safe compass and we’ve got to set our course by that — what it’s right to do. Logic is a sort of hard, merciless thing, I reckon. “Since you are determined to be married, Miss Cornelia,” said Gilbert solemnly, “I shall give you the excellent rules for the management of a husband which my grandmother gave my mother when she married my father.” “Well, I reckon I can manage Marshall Elliott,” said Miss Cornelia placidly. “But let us hear your rules.” “The first one is, catch him.” “He’s caught. Go on.” “The second one is, feed him well.” “With enough pie. What next?” “The third and fourth are — keep your eye on him.” “I believe you,” said Miss Cornelia emphatically. Cats is cats, and take my word for it, they will never be anything else. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

[Orpotyttö Anna Shirley, jonka tapasimme ensimmäisen kerran Annan nuoruusvuosissa, on yhä oma eläväinen ja neuvokas itsensä. Anne omassa kodissaan -kirjassa Annan kihlattu Gilbert on valmistunut lääkäriksi. Pian parin on aika mennä naimisiin ja aloittaa uusi, yhteinen elämä talossa lähellä Gilbertin uutta praktiikkaa. Uusi elämä tarkoittaa myös uusia yllätyksiä, uusia haasteita sekä tietysti uusia naapureita. Viimeisiksi mainittuihin kuuluvat muun muassa majakkaa vartioiva kapteeni Jim ja tämän tarinat meriltä. Naapureihin kuuluvat myös hienostunut neiti Cornelia Bryant, joka vain harvoin jättää mielipiteensä ilmaisematta, Owen Ford, joka haluaa kirjoittaa suuren kanadalaisen romaanin sekä traaginen ja kaunis Leslie Moore, jota Anna tukee tämän sydänsuruissa.Lucy Maud Montgomery (18741942) tai L. M. Montgomery, kuten hän itse itseään suosituimpien kirjojensa kansissa nimitti tuli tunnetuksi kotimaansa rajojen ulkopuolella jo ensimmäisen, Annan nuoruusvuodet -nimisen kirjansa myötä. Tuosta lähtien Montgomeryn kirjoja on luettu ja rakastettu läpi sukupolvien. Kirjailijan äiti kuoli Montgomeryn ollessa pieni, ja isänsä tahdosta L. M. Montgomery varttui isovanhempiensa hoivissa. Myöhemmin Montgomery kouluttautui opettajaksi ja aloitti uransa kirjailijana kirjoittaen yhteensä 20 romaania, 530 novellia, 500 runoa ja 30 esseetä. [Elib] Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
