Home is where the heart is

At twenty years old, Pat Gardiner has never regretted staying at her beloved home of Silver Bush. She has the wild stories of housekeeper Judy Plum to amuse her, a countess to entertain, a cat named Bold-and-Bad to keep out of trouble, and her younger sister Rae to care for.

But she does miss her friend "Jingle" Gordon, who's away at college. He's the only boy who ever truly understood her, and their little spot called "Happiness" is much lonelier without him. Eventually, though, Pat will have to choose: the house she's loved her entire life...or falling in love and starting a home of her own.

What Readers are Saying:

"I loved this...better than the Anne of Green Gables books."

"Pat is my favorite L.M. heroine and these are my new favorite L.M. books."

"This book is a must-read for any L.M. Montgomery loverâ??if you liked Anne of Green Gables, you'd love Pat of Silver Bush and Mistress Pat."

"The romance, the laughter, and the tears make it a story that just captivates you."… (lisätietoja)

When she was twenty, nearly everyone thought Patricia Gardiner ought to be having beaus--except of course, Pat herself. For Pat, Silver Bush was both home and heaven. All she could ever ask of life was bound in the magic of the lovely old house on Prince Edward Island, "where good things never change." And now there was more than ever to do, what with planning for the Christmas family reunion, entertaining a countess, playing matchmaker, and preparing for the arrival of the new hired man. Yet as those she loved so dearly started to move away, Pat began to question the wisdom of her choice of Silver Bush over romance. Was it possible to be lonely at Silver Bush?

Mistress Pat doesn't hold up quite as well upon revisiting it as an adult... The issue of flimsy characters persists from the last book, though there is a good solid core of well written people, namely Pat herself, Judy Plum, Cuddles/Rae, and Tillytuck. Everybody else had no life in them apart from their interactions with these characters.

I found it harder and harder to relate to Pat's passionate attachment to her house... Pat's obsession with it really did get in the way of some of her friendships. There wasn't as much growth as I like to see in a character, and frankly, I find it unfortunate that she didn't end up with Hilary until after she literally had nothing except the clothes on her back. She acts like the scales have fallen from her eyes and she now realizes she loves him, but wouldn't that choice have been more meaningful if life hadn't beaten her into the state of having no other option? If, instead, she matured a little and decided to grab hold of a chance for a loving, stable relationship?

I think the same observations I made about the first book apply here. L.M. Montgomery's life was plunged into depression by the mania of her husband. Just the fact that these books got written in the midst of the madness is a triumph and a testament to Montgomery's devotion to her craft. ( )

This has traditionally been one of my less favored Montgomery novels. However, I finally realized that Pat's obsession with Silver Bush is not supposed to be healthy. Read through that light, the novel takes on a new shape. Although in structure, it falls into the category of Montgomery's other novels, in theme it is more akin to the realism of the mid-twentieth century. This is a novel of a woman who turns away from opportunities at happiness again and again because she has convinced herself that life is only meaningful because of the house she lives in. Even the ending, which one could take as simply a happy ending, leaves one wondering if the simple explanation is correct or if Pat is only accepting it because everything else has been stripped away from her.

And Pat's obsession does not just destroy her own happiness. Her hatred of change feeds a denial of her sibling's ability to make their own life choices affects them. She temporarily ruins her relationship with her sister because she felt she had the right to decide who was good enough for Rae. And while Sid certainly deserves his own share of credit for his unhappy marriage, I suspect that May was not the only woman put off by the idea of coming to live in a house where Pat would always insist on being mistress.

In the end, I don't know whether or not the two Pat books are a successful pair of novels. I do, however, think that they provide a fascinating insight into Montgomery as a writer. ( )

Rereading an old favorite. Good things in here, terrible things in here. Still a stirring story, for all I’ve lost patience with marriage and old maid mores. Left me weeping and annoyed, but glad to read it again for all that. ( )

Montgomery really pushed the limits on this one with it's unlikable main character. ( )
