Mix some humor with some pathos and a dash of mystery to beautiful scenery of Prince Edward Island and you've got it. Very enjoyable. ( ) I read the previous book in this two-book series (The Story Girl) two years ago for the books of 1911, but I had forgotten the characters and never really caught up to speed. It’s about a group of children who are friends, one of whom is the narrator. The narration was weirdly Jamesian (complicated, obfuscating) and actually kind of made me think of books with a group narrator like The Virgin Suicides—not what you expect for a children’s book. It didn’t help that two of the children are named Sara—I know there were fewer names a century ago, but still. My favorite parts were a case of mistaken identity in which the children thought a visitor was deaf but she wasn’t; when they were forced to stay overnight with a witch; and when their cat went missing. The children wrote a newspaper about their doings, which was a tiny bit boring. I felt there was an over-reliance on the children accidentally using the wrong product with disastrous results, in baking and so forth. This device was so effective in Anne of Green Gables when Anne dyed her hair green and got her best friend drunk but has now gotten a bit over-done. I think L.M. Montgomery was a bit bored by the book too, because at the end almost all the characters had moved away or were soon to die of consumption, so there’s no possibility of a sequel except in fan fiction. The nicest thing about this novel was its depiction of the last days of childhood and how precious it is when you can actually see it about to slip away from you. Overall I would recommend the Anne or Emily books before this one. L.M. Montgomery is a long time and all time favorite author of mine. She writes the perfect girls story with just the right mix of adventure, drama and happiness. I find her books a comfort to read and have re-read most of her works many times over the years. They are classics for a reason and that reason is they are great. These are true comfort books for me and books I enjoy re-reading again and again. You know I hate give anything by Montgomery under 5 stars because some of her books are my dearest, closest friends but...you can't win everytime! It was a great little book. It has most of the great things about Montgomery's writting but I think because of the point of view it is written from it just lacks some of the characterization we get in the other books. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. I loved the cover of this new edition! It makes me want to update my previous books by LM Montgomery. I have re-read Anne of Green Gables several times but this is my first revisit of The Story Girl. The scenery is evocatively described. The stories range from the real sorrows that can occur in childhood to flights of fancy and the small dramas. This book was provided to me for free but the opinions on this review are mine.

HTML: In this sequel to author L. M. Montgomery's beloved novel The Story Girl, Beverley picks up the narrative where it left off in the previous story and fills readers in on all that transpires when the original crew of cousins and friends begins to leave childhood behind in favor of grown-up pastimes and romances. A nostalgic look back at childhood in a long-past era, The Golden Road is a must-read for anyone who ever whiled away a summer trading tall tales with a tightly knit group of friends. .Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
