"Rilla of Ingleside" is the moving eighth novel in Lucy Maud Montgomery's superb "Anne of Green Gables" series. The onset of the First World War overtakes the happy family of Anne and Gilbert Blythe in the peaceful Prince Edward Island community of Glen St. Mary. Anne's sons and the sons of the neighboring Meredith family are all too soon off to war with the Canadian Army.
Left behind to cope are the women of the Ingleside household: Anne Blythe, maid of all work Susan Baker, boarding schoolmarm Gertrude Oliver, and Anne's fifteen-year old daughter Rilla. They must keep up the homefront while suffering through difficult war news and the long intervals between letters from Europe.
The story centers on Rilla, who finds romance on the last night of peace with Kenneth Ford, to whom she makes an adult promise as he ships off to war. Rilla, the least ambitious of the talented Blythe children, suddenly finds the grit to care for an abandoned war-baby and to lead the local Junior Red Cross chapter. She will console a favorite brother accused of cowardice and the silently suffering girl he leaves behind. She will arrange the quick wartime marriage of two friends. And she will find the strength to stand with a beloved mother about to experience her greatest tragedy.
By turns whimsical, tragic, humorous, and heroic, "Rilla of Ingleside" is some of the very best of Montgomery's honest, life-confirming prose. Few readers will be unmoved by the last letter of a Blythe son in the chapter "And So, Good Night" or by the ending, as Rilla waits to learn her fate with the man to whom she believes she is engaged.
"Rilla of Ingleside" is very highly recommended to fans of the "Anne of Green Gables" series.
