Description

Bertha Marilla Blythe, also known as Rilla, is a teenager whose life dramatically changes with the onset and subsequent events of the first World War. She must quickly mature and adapt to a new normal, while awaiting the fate of her loved ones.

Rilla Blythe is the bright young daughter of Anne Shirley and Gilbert Blythe. She's a social butterfly who's more interested in school dances than formal education. With the outbreak of World War I, Rilla's forced to shift her priorities. Her brothers, childhood friends and first love all enlist in the service and are immediately sent abroad. Rilla attempts to do her part at home by collecting donations and supporting the Red Cross. During her efforts, she notices the dire effect the conflict has on families, particularly children. When she discovers an orphaned infant, Rilla is faced with new responsibilities that change her life forever.

Rilla of Ingleside is one of the last books in the beloved Anne of Green Gables series. Despite its serious tone, the novel still maintains a message of hope and perseverance. Rilla is a vibrant character, who like her mother, chooses to forge her own path.
