Has anyone read it?

I was a big fan of Anne of Green Gables since I was very young, but this was so great, she's such a good writer. I had a big smile of my face most of the time reading it & just LOVED it!

It's what everyone I know is getting for birthdays & Christmas for the incoming year Smile

I lot enjoyed it, it was a very easy read but I thought her observations of people fantastic and clever, all the characters were well drawn.

Thanks @Lucked - will spread the word. You're right about her characters, they're great!

@PenCreed Grin. I have such a terrible book hangover from it - I'm listening to & reading 2 well rated books & they're not a patch! Would love a good adaptation of this book, preferably a musical!
