Though I am a Haligonian, scholarship funds enabled me to stay in residence at first. This allowed me to become more involved in student life both socially and academically and to enjoy perks such as ‘bedhead chic’ from rolling out of bed 15 minutes before classes. Despite feeling a little shell-shocked adjusting from a fairly slack high school career to what I exaggerated as an endless onslaught of homework, I quickly adjusted to self-structuring. I will admit more independent study led to a few coffee–fuelled all-nighters, but it was this flexibility that I enjoyed most about university life. Studying international development allowed me the freedom to explore history, philosophy, environmental issues and economics.

(Washington Post)For the millions of readers who devoured the Green Gables series, Before Green Gables is an irresistible treat; the account of how one of literatures most beloved heroines became the girl who captivated the world. As an avid Anne of Green Gables fan, I was desperately wishing for some Anne material that I hadnt read six times already. This was a pretty good attempt on such material. I thought the author really captured Anne well, and thought up some really good back story material. The characters, even the bad ones, werent one-dimensional, so she didnt really make out Anne to be a victim which was so appreciated. However, the stories are very sad for the most part, and of course theyre missing just that spark that only L.M. Montgomery could put into them. Of course, it is fitting because Annes surroundings werent as charming and idyllic as they were in Montgomerys stories, so the book is a good fit into what we know of Annes background.

  • Before Green Gables, Book Excerpt
    Before Green Gables Book Excerpt Budge Wilson Chapter 20: Katie Maurice One day, about a month after Eliza's wedding day, and about three weeks after Anne had screamed out her grief in the woods, Anne was putting some dishes away in the old glassed in bookcase that had once belonged to her own family. It was kept in a corner of the house that received very little light. When Anne closed the door, after depositing the dishes, she saw her own reflection in the glass door. She stared and stared at it. In the dimness of the reflection, her freckles had disappeared and her hair looked almost brown. For a moment or two, she thought it was another person. Even after she realized that this was not the case, she clung to the idea. "A friend! A friend!" she kept muttering under her breath. The house was unusually quiet. All four babies and Mrs. Thomas were asleep. Mr. Thomas (who had not had a drink for many weeks) was at work. During this period, Anne was starting to get used to Eliza's absence, although still deeply sad about it. And she rather liked the new baby. He didn't cry as much as the other ones did, and he was much less beautiful than all the bigger Thomas children. In fact, he was quite odd-looking, with an oversized nose and a slight cast in one eye. He wasn't exactly cross-eyed, but he wasn't as oppressively handsome as the older little boys. Anne had always regarded herself as an unattractive-looking person.
