Sarah McCoy - Marilla a Green Oromból

A filling, loving story about
what life was like in the Green Nose before Anne's arrival.

Set in the landscapes of 19th-century Prince Edward Island, this wonderfully entertaining and moving costume novel takes readers into the youth of old lady Marilla Cuthbert. He pulls the veil off all the decisions that led to heartache, but at the same time previously unimaginable greatness entered his life.

Brave and aspiring Marilla Cuthbert is only thirteen years old when her whole life is turned upside down - her beloved mother dies during childbirth. In Avonlea - this small, close-knit market town on an island cut off from everything - life does not hold many opportunities for the girls. Marilla's only connection to the outside world is her aunt, Elizabeth "Izzy" Johnson, her mother's sister, who managed to escape from Avonlea to the bustling city of St. Catharines.

Emboldened by the headstrong old lady's success, Marilla also ventures out from the safety of the Green Orom to make new friends and discover new opportunities at the Ladies' Aid Society. Her budding romance with John Blythe, the neighbor's charming son, floats the image of future happiness in front of Marilla's eyes - however, she is not torn by the thought of leaving her family and the Green Nose for good.

Marilla is faced with a difficult choice: realize her dreams and make a difference in the world, or return to the small-town reality of the Green Orom.

The prequel to the much-loved Anne series.
