Kate DiGirolomo

A poignant though incomplete look at a renowned author. Consider for Montgomery fans.

Fans of the musical will be excited to see this novel, even though it plays fast and loose with the facts. Purchase only where Hamilton frenzy is still strong.

Anne fans looking for a worthwhile cinematic counterpart should stick with the superior 1985 miniseries, which is better acted by miles and tells a more complete tale. This is a pale imitation of a cherished classic that is easily skipped.
