It's 1914 and the world is on the brink of war. But at almost fifteen, Anne and Gilbert's youngest daughter, Rilla, dreams only of her first dance and getting her first kiss from the dashing Kenneth Ford. Soon, however, even far-off Ingleside is engulfed by Europe's raging conflict, as Rilla's brothers Jem and Walter both enlist, and Rilla finds herself caring for an orphaned newborn.
   As the conflict spreads, the Blythes wait anxiously for word of their absent sons, and a bad omen leads them to conclude that something terrible has happened overseas. Have Jem and Walter been lost, like so many valiant young men before them? And what of Kenneth Ford? Will he ever return to Ingleside to keep the promise he made to Rilla before he left?
   In this final book in the Anne of Green Gables series, young Rilla Blythe is swept into a drama that tests her courage and changes her life forever.

About the Author

Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874-1942) was born in what is now New London, Prince Edward Island, and raised by her grandparents after the death of her mother when she was just two. She worked for a time as a teacher and a journalist, then wrote her first novel, Anne of Green Gables, in the evenings while caring for her grandmother. When the book appeared in 1908, it was an instant success; it would go on to sell millions of copies in dozens of languages the world over, making Anne one of literature's most beloved characters of all time.

Classics are called such for a reason, and "Rilla of Ingleside" is as classic as you can get. I have read it many times, and each one only makes me love it more. I grew up reading about Anne Shirley and her exploits, and this final novel in the "Anne of Green Gables" series spotlights Anne's daughter Rilla and her coming of age years.

Rilla is 14 when the book opens, and her mother is a little worried about Rilla's lack of ambition in life, noting from the first chapter that "She has no serious ideals at all - her sole aspiration seems to be to have a good time." There's no doubt that Rilla's a touch vain and perhaps a mite spoiled, but she is girl who goes through an incredible overhaul of character through these pages.

I've read a great many books and sampled the writing of many different authors through the years, but there is something spellbinding about Lucy Maud Montgomery's way of storytelling. You feel the characters. Their joys, sorrows, struggles, and triumphs become your own. Your imagination is stirred with the slightest turns of phrase. Montgomery is a true master. Her characters will live in the hearts of readers until the end of time.

The first real grown-up party Rilla is allowed to attend happens to be on August 4, 1914. The party is interrupted when the news breaks that England has declared war on Germany, and as a part of the British Empire at that time, Canadian lads would be called upon to go forth and fight. As Rilla watches her brothers and friends go war and becomes part of the war effort on the home front herself, the seriousness and sacrifice of wartime life affect Rilla deeply. She finds the strength to rise to the occasion, even in things she despises. It's the joy of seeing Rilla grow into a woman whose inner loveliness matches her outer beauty that makes me love her so. Rilla is a true heroine.

This book is also valuable for the insight it provides into World War I and the lives of the everyday people it impacted. As a history lover, this adds to my enjoyment of the novel. But it's Rilla herself who brings me back time and again, to laugh and cry and hope (and cry some more!) with her and all the Blythe gang through this incredibly journey.

Rilla of Ingleside is a coming-of-age novel written in 1921 by L.M. Montgomery that focuses on the youngest daughter of the beloved Anne Shirley, now Mrs. Blythe from the “Anne of Green Gables” series. Rilla spends her teenage years dealing with the stresses of living during the Great War, having her three brothers and her sweetheart volunteer to go to the war front to bringing up an orphaned war baby, Jims. The novel shows many examples of what life was like during the war and various aspects of societal pressures that became the norm during this time. For instance, the pressure put on the young men to enlist in the war and the roles that the women should fall in to help with the war effort were accepted by society so wholeheartedly that individuals, such as Rilla’s brother Walter, who did not conform to these new societal norms, found themselves the subject of ridicule, scorn, and contempt. The men of military age who do not enlist in the military are viewed as cowards and are shamed. The women are expected to join the cause by engaging in activities such as making bandages for the Red Cross and sending care packages to the soldiers overseas. They are also expected to live as frugally as possible, with no extravagant or selfish expenditures. The protagonist of the novel, Rilla, undergoes a major transformation from an always laughing, carefree girl to a strong, responsible woman over the course of the Great War.

My wife suggested I read Anne of Green Gables, as she had fond memories reading it in her youth. I have enjoyed the entire series, but doing a bit of research on Lucy Montgomery discovered the pure happiness of life in her characters was sadly lacking in her own life. Lucy was cheated by her original publisher out of thousands of dollars and had to resort to a lengthy lawsuit to win some of the profits she was entitled to. In addition, she married a minister who became deeply depressive, which over time dragged herself into depression, for which she was taking drugs which eventually caused her own death. Her daughter suggested her death by overdose might have been deliberate. While her own story was tragic it might be uplifting to know that in spite of adversity Lucy rose above it all to create uplifting characters and relationships so memorable to others. In conclusion, I wish I had known Lucy Montgomery as one of her "kindred spirits".

Learned tomes have been written on the life and works of LM Montgomery and an entire Canadian Province derives pride and income from this Minister's wife.

By today's standards Rilla of Ingleside is a carefully worded narrative about a teenaged girl (the daughter of Anne of Green Gables) whose life is changed by the First World War. A cluster of characters introduced through the Anne series are at the centre of this novel - including Susan the spinster housekeeper, a pivot in the tale.

The book is high romance, switching from fraught moments of love, to the deep pains of war based on the news from brothers, friends and sons at the front. Good sturdy colonial chaps noble and unstinting in their wholesome commitment to God, King and country but props in this book. But through it all Rilla matures into a warm young woman raising a war orphan, learning to cook and sew (yes, it is a sort of domestic science course). Dog Monday the faithful mutt remains steadfast at the railway station waiting for his master. And in the end the love of her life, Lt Ken Ford returns to claim her and her lisp!

The book is a sweet tale of a girl growing up, romantic but with all sexuality tied down in the cleansing prose. Written with humour, nice observation and sweet goodness, imbued with values barely viable in this day and age. I guess a girl would need to be under ten to enjoy this purity and naivity these days. But the Anne series are still a must read in the literature of the young, and yes the old.

Maravilloso final a la saga de Ana de las Tejas Verdes. Este ha sido para mi el mejor libro de la colección. Increíble como la Gran Guerra irrumpe en la tranquila y feliz vida de Rilla y de su familia, y como durante estos largos y tristes años de guerra madura hasta convertirse en una gran persona, fuerte y valiente. Para los amantes de la historia, en este libro se describe muy bien como va avanzando la guerra, y como la vivieron las familias cuyos muchachos partieron al frente, sin ser pesado ni aburrido. Me gustaron especialmente los personajes de Walter, Jims su bebé de guerra, y Dog Monday, el fiel perro que no se cansa de esperar a su amo. Con este libro he llorado y he reído más que con ningún otro, lo recomiendo sin dudarlo.

I have read the whole series of Anne of green gable books now and they just got better with each one.I have thoroughly enjoy them all but this last one was absolutely wonderful. The telling of the first world war was amazing in its detail and I have to say that the last chapter had me in tears. They started out as children's books but I'm 73 and they were all brilliant, books for any age.

5.0 out of 5 stars New Hardcover Editions of Great Canadian Literature!
Reviewed in Canada on March 8, 2019

I bought the complete set of "Anne" AND "Emily" books in this hardcover edition, as my books are collectibles that one cannot read without fear of destroying them. The covers are quite attractive and the books themselves are comfortable to read (relatively light and easy to hold). Rilla is my favourite in the "Anne" series, aside from 'Anne of Green Gables" as The Great War begins early on in this book and WWI is described in detail from beginning to end. It is not boring or gory. This is the first book ever written from the perspective of those suffering at home while their young soldier boys went off to fight in the horrors of the trenches. Montgomery was well informed as she herself followed (via newspaper reports) the war carefully. Montgomery's peaceful, small town characters, all without television or radio to keep them informed, learned the fate of their fathers, sons and lovers only through telegrams or lists of the dead and missing. This is not, however, a tragic book, as with all LM Montgomery books, it is infused with delicate humour and follows the maturation of a headstrong, frivolous young girl, on the brink of womanhood. Over the course of the book and the war, Rilla, Anne's youngest child, blossoms into a responsible adult as she becomes devoted to the war effort, and even raises an orphaned child with little help from her family. This is a wonderful, touching, funny and informative book that every Canadian should read, as it gives a different perspective to the horror of war and allows us to witness the suffering of families who sent their lads off with a smile, high hopes, and little knowledge of the tragic circumstances that awaited them overseas. I love it, have read it countless times, and will continue to do so with this new, fresh set of hardcovers. My only complaint is the lack of a frontispiece or any other pictures that would help to set the scene. Otherwise, a great purchase.
