5.0 out of 5 stars This is L.M Montgomery's most touching book, 18 May 2002
By A Customer
Rilla of Ingleside continues the adventures of Anne's children, the youngest, Rilla is left at home whilst her brothers go to fight in WW1. The book is sensitive and moving, portraying the feelings of the young girl and her family left behind in Prince Edward Island. If you liked the other "Anne" books then this one is a must, although it is much more sombre than the others, I believe that it is the best, and you won't want to put it down!

5.0 out of 5 stars Completes the "Anne of Green Gables" Series. Beautiful story set during WW1., 2 Nov 2007
By S. Barnes (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
My favourite "Anne" book of all!! (and they are all wonderful!). Sadly, this is the eighth and last book in the series so when you get onto this one, savour every word. Written just after the war, and published in 1921, L. M. Montgomery gives, through her characters, a first-hand account of what life was like for ordinary Canadians during the First World War. Touching and, as always, beautifully written.

It's 1914 and Rilla, the baby of the Blythe family, is nearly 15 and about to embark on the best of her teenage years. She's pretty and bubbly, and keen to get along with nearly everyone. If only her other brothers and sisters, especially her dearest Walter, would stop treating her as a baby and see her as the grown up she so nearly is...

It seems Rilla's wishes are going to come true sooner than she thought. With the onset of war and young Canadian men signing up to enlist in their droves, Rilla soon realises that she must "grow up" and do her bit for the war effort. Her dear brother Jem is one of the first to go, but it's clear that the others will soon be following, and Rilla soon finds herself volunteering to look after an orphaned "war baby"... quite a challenge for a 15-year-old with little inclination for babies!

Rilla very quickly proves her worth. There are still some delightfully humourous episodes, typical of L. M. Montgomery, and it's wonderful to watch Rilla's journey through to adulthood, through the war years. Touched with sadness, it's more emotionally advanced than some of the other Anne books. Ages 11+

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the serie, 19 Oct 2003
Rilla of Ingleside is my favorite of the Anne of Green Gables serie. Although I can't really say it belongs to the serie. It's different, mainly because the main caracter, Rilla, is so different from her mother, Anne Shirley and because the subject is far more realistic then the other books who seem to belong to another world, that is why I consider Rilla of Ingleside to be at the same time the best of the serie and also apart from it. It shows how hard it was for women to stay home while their husband, sweetheart, son or brother were fighting.
I recommend this book, not only to fans of Anne Shirley but also to anybody who wants to cry, laugh and smile.

2.0 out of 5 stars Weakest of the series
This book does not sit well with the other 'Anne' novels. The others in the series are less specific in their setting in time, which adds to an enjoyable 'fairy tale' feel. Read more
