As I have
felt uninspired by my own blog for some time, I decided it was time for
renovations. So here is the new look, the new theme, the new title. As much as
I love and am grateful for my real life, “life amidst the unreal” is my escape.
It is the life of books and writing, stories on the screen, of magic and
possibilities. It is a place I hope you’ll join me now and then to see where
I’ve been “living”.
My latest
adventure has been the Netflix series “Anne with an E”, based on “Anne of Green
Gables by LM Montgomery. Amybeth McNulty plays Anne to perfection. The beloved
supporting characters: Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, Diana,
Gilbert and Mrs Lynde et al are all faithfully portrayed. This adaption delves more into the characters’
pasts and introduces new characters adding further textures and layers to LM
Montgomery’s story without diminishing Anne’s spirit and the essence of her
rags to contentment story. And of course, no adaption of the book would be complete
without the picturesque landscape of Prince Edward Island and its “Lake of
Shining Waters”, “White Way of Delight” and the welcoming refuge of Green
Gables.
“If you’ll only call me Anne spelled with an E
I shall try to reconcile myself to not being called Cordelia.” – LM Montgomery, Anne
of Green Gables
