I thoroughly enjoyed reading about the younger lives of not only Marilla but Matthew and Rachel as well. Over the years, she experiences heartbreak, love, friendship, and political turmoil, which all shape her into the Marilla we know. When we meet Marilla as a 13 year old, there are glimpses of the woman she’ll become but she still is full of youth and naivety. Since the original series doesn’t delve into the background of her enigmatic character, this story is long-awaited and much anticipated. Marilla of Green Gables tells the story of Marilla’s life, from young teenager up to the day when Anne joins the family. Thankfully, McCoy’s writing is a seamless addition to L.M. It’s rare for a prequel or sequel to live up to the original and the Anne of Green Gables series is one of the best.
However, with such news comes inevitable trepidation.
As an avid fan of Anne of Green Gables, I was delighted to discover that Sarah McCoy wrote a book about Marilla’s history.
