Ahhhh!



This was exactly what I needed . . . the long soak in a hot tub, the breath of fresh air, the perfect antidote to the hatred and venom spewed by the racist, rabid yam currently running for President. Yes, after a week of watching a 70-year-old toddler throw daily tantrums, it was so refreshing to pick up this book and escape to a world where you could stumble upon a stranger's house and be invited in for tea.

This volume concentrates on Anne's two years spent teaching. There are good days and bad days as she attempts to mold the young minds of Avonlea.
Newly orphaned twins - the lifeless Dora and the way-too-lively Davy - come to live with lifelong spinster Marilla, prompting Mrs. Rachel Lynde to quip, "You're never safe from being surprised till you're dead." A local kook successfully predicts a wicked storm, and the Village Improvement Society, a group spearheaded by Anne and Diana to spruce up Avonlea, is born.

Love and laughs abound, and yes, it's sappy as hell, but as I said, exactly what I needed.


I have a feeling I'm going to be rereading the rest of this series before November rolls around. It's so nice to know that when I wake with a 3 AM panic attack, convinced that Trump has already won and life as we know it is over, that Anne's simple, and simply beautiful, world will be waiting for me.

Anne of Avonlea (Anne of Green Gables #2), L.M. Montgomery

Anne of Avonlea is a Canadian and American novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery. It was first published in 1909. Following Anne of Green Gables (1908). Anne is about to start her first term teaching at the Avonlea school, although she will still continue her studies at home with Gilbert, who is teaching at the nearby White Sands School. Her gray eyes shine like evening stars, but her red hair is still as peppery as her temper. Anne begins her job as the new schoolteacher, the real test of her character begins. Along with teaching the three Rs, she is learning how complicated life can be when she meddles in someone else's romance, finds two new orphans at Green Gables, and wonders about the strange behavior of the very handsome Gilbert Blythe. As Anne enters womanhood, her adventures touch the heart and the funny bone.

Second in the Anne of Green Gables series and it's just as good as the first.

Anne is now in her late teenage years. We have two new residents at Green Gables, Dora and Davy, Anne has joined the workforce and there's a ton is scandal in Avonlea.

I really am loving the authors sense of humour when creating her characters. This book really builds on Anne's foundations and I'm looking forward to seeing how she handles her early twenties in the next in the series.

One thing I really like about the Anne of Green Gables series is the characters, of course! ^_^ You grow to love all of them, old and new ones alike! :) As for some of the new, I liked Paul Irving, one of Anne’s students at the Avonlea school. He was such a sweet and kind little boy! I also enjoyed Davy’s character. He was one of the twins that Anne and Marilla took in after their mother had died. He was such a trip :P Davy was always getting into trouble or caught eating the jam preserves Marilla had made…he just was a fun character to read about and always made me laugh, although he was pretty mischievous too! One other new characters I really liked was Miss Lavender Lewis! We didn’t see her I think until either the middle or close to the end of the book I am pretty sure. It was entertaining when we got to see the conversations she had with Anne when she would visit Miss Lavender :)

Of course, I still love all of the old characters from the first book too!! Anne, Gilbert, Diana, Mrs. Lynde, and Marilla are all of my favorites! I was kind of sad that there wasn’t a whole lot of Gilbert in this book :/ There was barely any at all except for random times when a character would mention his name…I don’t remember there being many scenes where he actually talked though :( I did really like the ending and I thought it was sweet ^_^ This wasn’t my favorite out of the two I’ve read, but I still enjoyed it and I thought it got more interesting once you knew all of the characters better like Paul and Davy :) I am sure I will like the next book more though because I think I know what happens in it ;) That’s all I am going to say about that lol

This sequel was just as good as the first one "Anne of Green Gables". It was nice, comfortable, endearing and at times hilarious. In this book, we get to follow Anne as she grows up to become a woman, and the new set of characters (as well as the well-known ones from the first book) are great. Montgomery has managed to create a world which can only bring a smile to your face, and so I'm obviously excited to get back to it whenever I decide to pick up the third book.

کتاب درست در زمان درست بیشتر از هرچیزی به آدم احساس درک‌ شدن میده و این جلد برام دقیقاً همون حرف‌ها، دغدغه‌ها و فکر‌هایی بود که این‌روزا احاطه‌ام کردن.
حتی میتونم بگم خوندنش قشنگ‌ترین اتفاقِ این تابستون بود، چون بعدش مثل آنی‌شرلی واردِ مرحله‌ی جدیدی از زندگی میشم و مثه اون باید خیلی از دوست‌داشتنی‌های زندگیم رو رها کنم و برم دنبالِ چیزایی که آینده رو میسازن، اینکه حس کنی تنها نیستی و فارغ از دنیای واقعی توی داستان‌ها بخشی از خودت رو پیدا کنی، زیباترین حسیه که انسان میتونه در زندگی تجربه کنه و در کنارش بدونی و باور داشته باشی که زندگی همیشه در گذره، برای ما واینمیسته و پیش میره.
یا باید تصمیم بگیریم که زندگی کنیم گاهی با درک ‌نشدن‌ها، ناامیدی‌ها و تاریکی‌ها ولی با تلاش و امید به روز‌های روشن‌تر.
یا هم بشینیم، گذر عمرمون رو تماشا کنیم، از کاه کوه بسازیم، همه‌چیز رو سخت بگیریم و همیشه سفت و زیاد از حد منطقی باشیم و فرصتِ پرواز خیال و آسودگی به خودمون ندیم و آخرش به تهِ جاده‌ی زندگی برسیم و تازه بفهمیم که عه الان که دیگه دیره.

علاوه بر این‌ها، حس‌و‌حال متفاوتی که آخر این این جلد گفته میشه وَرای چیزیه که جلد اول و حتی خودِ جلد دوم در بر داره، حسی زیبا اما متفاوت با هر آن چیزی که آنی‌شرلی قبلاً تجربه کرده، دوست‌داشتن و دوست‌داشته شدن از سمت یک نفر، جوری که هر دو برای همدیگه مهم‌ و به بودنِ یکدیگر دلخوش‌‌ان.

چقدر این پاراگراف دوست‌داشتنی و قشنگ بود:
"شاید قرار نبود محبت با بوق و کرنا وارد قلب کسی شود و شاهزاده‌ای سوار بر اسب را به رخ بکشد، شاید محبت احساسی خزنده بود که از جانب دوستی قدیمی آرام‌آرام در قلب نفوذ می‌کرد، شاید احساس دوستانه‌ای بود که به نثر نوشته می‌شد، اما ناگهان برقی معجزه‌آسا روی کلماتش فرو‌د می‌آمد و به آنها وزن و قافیه می‌داد، شاید محبت روزی از میان یک رابطه‌ی زیبای دوستانه سر برمی‌آورد، چون گل سرخی که غلاف سبزرنگش را کنار می‌زند."

تمومش کردم و بسیار زیبا بود پر از زیبایی و جذابیت

I love how Anne makes all the little routine things in life seem so magical and heartfelt. Inspires me to live a life that’s full of those kinds of thoughts and dreams. Life is so much more beautiful because there are books like these and characters like Anne to help inspire readers. :)

یکی از لذت بخش ترین کتابایِ ۲۰۲۱ بود قطعا

5 / 5 ⭐

cudowna kontynuacja! Coś czuje, że będę wielką miłośniczką całej serii. Bardzo podoba mi się to nowe tłumaczenie - po dwóch tomach już się przyzwyczaiłam do Anne, Rachel czy Zielonych Szczytów. Podczas czytania czułam, że sama znalazłam się na Wyspie Księcia Edwarda i towarzyszyłam bohaterom w przygodach

I'm re-reading the Anne series at the moment, even though I've read them all many MANY times before. I know lots of people who think it's odd to read the same book multiple times, but for me there are some books I just never get sick of, and I find it immensely soothing to read something that is completely predictable and familiar.

Anyway that said this has always been my LEAST favourite of the series and a bit of a chore to plough through in order to get to Anne of the Island and then Anne of Windy Poplars, the two best ones. I find Anne very hard to like in this one mainly because she is so obnoxiously perfect. Even in the scene where she dyes her nose red and opens the door to the famous author whilst covered in feathers, she acts so dignified that everyone is impressed anyway.

This book also contains Davy, Dora AND Paul Irving in one fell swoop of irritating children characters. Davy is a big pain in the butt - the 'loveable-ness' that apparently makes everyone prefer him over poor maligned Dora just does NOT come through. The scene where he locks her in Mr Harrison's barn and then lies about it so that everyone's frantically searching for her! For some reason the main thing that upsets everyone about this is that he 'told a falsehood' (though he apparently didn't realise this was wrong, which I am VERY skeptical about). So telling a lie is wicked, but locking your sister in some cold, dark barn for most of the day without any food as a joke is totally fine, apparently. But even HE is not as bad as Paul Irving, whose long sickly speeches I always skip. "I think violets are the souls of flowers.... the GOOD flowers..." etc etc URGH. What a little twerp.
