As a “fill in the gaps” book, Ingleside is much, much better than Windy Poplars. Since it was published after Rainbow Valley and Rilla of Ingleside (the books that chronologically come after Ingleside), it actually hints at-to be honest, more like downright spoils-events that occur in those books, most noticeably what happens to Walter in Rilla of Ingleside. It’s also technically the last Anne story, as it was published last, after Anne of Windy Poplars. How could that be? She may be a little older, but she’s still the same irrepressible, irreplaceable redhead – 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! Rating: 4/5 Anne of Ingleside is another “fill in the gaps” Anne story. Until the day she begins to worry that her adored Gilbert doesn’t love her anymore. Still, Mrs Doctor can’t think of any place she’d rather be than her own beloved Ingleside. And now with a new baby on the way and insufferable Aunt Mary visiting – and wearing out her welcome – Anne’s life is full to bursting. Anne is the mother of five, with never a dull moment in her lively home. It is the sequel to Anne’s House of Dreams. Anne of Ingleside, by Lucy Maud Montgomery, was first published in 1939.
