<< Nyekk >> Mayflowers

"I'm so sorry for people who live in lands where there are no Mayflowers," said Anne. "Diana says perhaps they have something better, but there couldn't be anything better than Mayflowers, could there, Marilla? And Diana says if they don't know what they are like they don't miss them. But I think that is the saddest thing of all. I think it would be TRAGIC, Marilla, not to know what Mayflowers are like and NOT to miss them."

It's a little snipplet of the book I am reading now, "Anne of green gables". It's about a little orphan girl, getting adopted into the household of an old couple, who never had children themselves, and it creates a lot of interesting situations, seeing how she slowly changes them. The story is set way back in around the 20's on a little island of Canada. The atmosphere is really lighthearted, and Anne's attitude never fails to cheer me up, she has an opinion about almost everything, a really extraordinary one at most of the time. She always uses big words, ands speaks with dignity, which is funny hearing it from a little girl's mouth. And oh a lot she speaks!
There is no evil in the story, it is more "slice of life" type a book, with aging and developements.
If you like books like this, I can only advise you read it :)

"Somehow," she told Diana, "when I'm going through here I don't really care whether Gil—whether anybody gets ahead of me in class or not. But when I'm up in school it's all different and I care as much as ever. There's such a lot of different Annes in me. I sometimes think that is why I'm such a troublesome person. If I was just the one Anne it would be ever so much more comfortable, but then it wouldn't be half so interesting."
