Anne of Ingleside
(Anne of Green Gables Series, #6)
by Lucy Maud Montgomery
Synopsis:
Anne is the mother of five, with never a dull moment in her lively home. And now, with a new baby on the way and insufferable Mary Maria visiting--and wearing out her welcome--Anne's life is full to bursting.
Still, Mrs. Doctor can't think of any place she'd rather be than her own beloved Ingleside. Until the day she begins to worry that her adored Gilbert doesn't love her anymore. How could that be? She may be a little older, but she's still the same irrepressible, irreplaceable rehead--the wonderful Anne of Green Gables, all grown up. She's ready to make her cherished husband fall in love with her all over again!

My Review:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ & ❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎
5+ stars & 8/10 hearts. Oh, me... I love this book. I just love seeing all the Glen St. Mary & Four Winds People... and the Blythe children... All the humour and beauty and happiness of this book just makes me so happy. It’s just so lovely and relaxing and... blesses you. (I don’t agree with everything, and there are a few euphemisms.) The book is so full of beautiful paragraphs about life... life with children... <33 And the paragraph about Walter in the last chapter makes me cry!! </3
A Favourite Quote: “Dear God… help all mothers everywhere. We need so much help, with the little sensitive, loving hearts and minds that look to us for guidance and love and understanding.”
A Favourite Beautiful Quote: “Well, that was life. Gladness and pain … hope and fear … and change. Always change! You could not help it. You had to let the old go and take the new to your heart … learn to love it and then let it go in turn. Spring, lovely as it was, must yield to summer and summer lose itself in autumn.”
A Favourite Humorous Quote: “Walter couldn't endure thinking about the widow [frog]'s woes, so he slipped down to the cellar to hunt for the gentleman toad, but only succeeded in knocking down a pile of Susan's discarded tinware with a resulting racket that might have wakened the dead. It woke only Susan, however, who came marching down with a candle[.]
“‘Susan, I've got to find that toad,’ said Walter desperately. ‘Susan, just think how you would feel without your husband, if you had one.’
“‘What on earth are you talking about?’ demanded the justifiably mystified Susan.“At this point the gentleman toad, who had evidently given himself up for lost when Susan appeared on the scene, hopped out into the open[.] Walter pounced on him and slipped him out through the window, where it is to be hoped he rejoined his supposed love and lived happily ever afterwards.”
