A review by lynnaeaowens
After Many Years by L.M. Montgomery

3.0

This collection of short stories felt very uneven. There are some delightful and creative stories, mixed in with the simplistic and predictable. This is understandable, as some are written for young children with a clear agenda in mind ("be kind kids"). However, even the more complex and compelling stories begin to get repetitive, with common themes reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet (true love, warring families) without the tragic ending. All the stories end up tied up in a nice bow.

3/5 - recommended for Montgomery fans, may be more enjoyable if consumed slowly over several months (rather than my strategy reading one a night).
