Publisher's Synopsis
Rilla Of Ingleside is a novel written by Lucy Maud Montgomery. It is the eighth and final book in the Anne of Green Gables series. The story is set during World War I and follows the life of Rilla Blythe, the youngest daughter of Anne and Gilbert Blythe. Rilla is a carefree teenager who is more concerned with her social life than the war raging in Europe. However, when her brothers and friends are called to fight, Rilla's life is turned upside down. She must learn to be strong and independent as she faces the challenges of war and the loss of loved ones. Along the way, Rilla discovers her own strength and courage, and learns the importance of family, friendship, and community. The novel is a poignant and powerful portrayal of the impact of war on ordinary people and the resilience of the human spirit.October passed out and the dreary days of November and December dragged by. The world shook with the thunder of contending armies; Antwerp fell --Turkey declared war--gallant little Serbia gathered herself together and struck a deadly blow at her oppressor; and in quiet, hill-girdled Glen St. Mary, thousands of miles away, hearts beat with hope and fear over the varying dispatches from day to day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
