Lucy Maud Montgomery's novel Rilla of Ingleside is one of her literary work. In the Anne of Green Gables series, it is the eighth and last novel. The youngest daughter of Anne, Rilla Blythe, is the focus of the narrative, which takes place during World War I. Rilla is a carefree fifteen-year-old during the beginning of the war who is more focused on social gatherings than the struggle in Europe. Rilla's life, however, is irreparably altered as the war goes on and her siblings and friends join the military. She becomes engaged in the war effort and assumes additional duties, such as looking after Jims, an orphan from the conflict. Rilla goes through the joys and sorrows of love, grief, and sacrifice throughout the whole book. The story examines issues like bravery, patriotism, and the effects of war on communities and families. Rilla of Ingleside is a moving coming-of-age tale that echoes the author's personal experiences during World War 1 and captures the essence of the period. The book is still a well-loved classic in Canadian literature and is recognized as one of Montgomery's most important works.
