Tras realizar una visita a Avonlea, Ana vuelve a Ingleside, la que es ahora su casa. Han pasado seis años desde que ella y Gilbert dejaran atrás la Casa de sus Sueños y el joven matrimonio se ha transformado en toda una familia con cinco hijos: James Matthew «Jem», que ahora tiene ocho años; Walter, un año menor y con una imaginación desbordante heredada de su madre; Ana «Nan» y Diana «Di», dos mellizas de cuatro años que no pueden ser más diferentes entre sí, y Shirley, el benjamín y favorito de Susan Baker, el ama de llaves de la casa. Aunque no será el menor por mucho tiempo, ya que pronto asistiremos al nacimiento de Bertha Marilla Blythe, a la que todos conocerán como «Rilla».Ana es ya una mujer adulta, pero en el fondo seguirá siendo la misma pelirroja alegre y llena de imaginación que fue adoptada en Tejas Verdes. Familiares cargantes, dudas sobre el amor y otras aventuras seguirán acaeciendo en su vida, a lo que habrá que sumar las peripecias y travesuras de sus hijos, que alegrarán a todos con su incontenible energía. "Ana la de Ingleside" es la sexta entrega de la maravillosa saga que ha fascinado a lectores de todas las edades, servida por la exquisita y tierna pluma de Lucy Maud Montgomery.

2nd read:
I'm impossibly nostalgic and therefore love this book. I like the jumps into the childish point of view, the small adventures that seem so large, and even the crabby old married feeling that Anne gets at the end of the book. It was a nice trot down memory lane when the worst that could happen was the bullying of the older "set." I felt an anticipatory cringe when one of the twins sneaked out of the house against "parental decree" to spend a night with a disreputable family... and was reminded that Mongomery, like Stowe and Alcott, was far from silent on the topic of emotional abuse.

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 works many times over the years. They are classics for a reason and that reason is they are great. ( )

OBS: Volume 6

Anne of Green Gable is a great series but the charm was lost in this book. Some of the elements that appealed are still there like the description of nature and weather, which brings you right to the scene itself. This spoke to me during this time when we can't travel. I could just visualize the snow scenes. However, there were many tiresome things. Anne's kids are all so naive, and the Glen's folks like funerals so much! I am glad Montgomery didn't continue further and ended the series here, otherwise, the magic will all be gone. ( )
