Jane of Lantern Hill

Revisited a childhood favourite. I never fell in love with Anne of Green Gables, but I read this several times.

This was a lovely book! Jane is not the quirkiest or most memorable Montgomery heroine, but her release from an oppressive Toronto household into the beauty and freedom of Prince Edward Island makes for wonderful comfort reading. If the denouement reuniting her estranged parents (not a spoiler, it was obviously always going to end that way) had been arranged with more complexity and less narrative haste, it would have been truly excellent.
