Austen wrote, 'I am going to take a heroine whom no-one but myself will much like' and thus introduces the handsome, clever, rich - and flawed, Emma Woodhouse. Emma is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage; nothing however delights her more than matchmaking her fellow residents of Highbury. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr. Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protegee Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected.

E. M. Forster's first novel is a witty comedy of manners that is tinged with tragedy. It tells the story of Lilia Herriton, who proves to be an embarrassment to her late husband's family as, in the small Tuscan town of Monteriano, she begins a relationship with a much younger Italian man - classless, uncouth, and highly unsuitable. A subtle attack on Edwardian values and a humanely sympathetic portrayal of the clash of two cultures, Where Angels Fear to Tread is also a profound exploration of character and virtue.

Story
Immediately following the success of Little Women, Louisa May Alcott sat down to write An-Old Fashioned Girl, expanding on the subject of rich versus poor that she explored in her first novel. It’s a story of a country mouse and a city mouse: 14-year-old Polly Milton travels to Boston for a stay with her friend Fanny Shaw. The wealthy Shaws’ way of life is foreign to Polly who tries to adapt but is quickly labeled “old-fashioned”. Fanny and her friends dress and behave as their elders do, flirting with boys and gossiping.

Story
In The Rainbow, D. H. Lawrence challenged the customary limitations of language and convention to carry into the structures of his prose the fascination with boundaries and space that characterize the entire novel. A visionary novel, considered to be one of Lawrence's finest, it explores the complex sexual and psychological relationships between men and women in an increasingly industrialized world.

Hailed as Charlotte Brontë’s “finest novel” by Virginia Woolf, Villette is the timeless semi-autobiographical tale of Lucy Snowe. Left with no family and no money, Lucy goes against her own timid nature and travels to the small city of Villette, France, where she becomes a school teacher in Madame Beck’s school for girls.

Nice Goodbye To The Series
And with that I have finished my journey in Avonlea and I have to say good bye to Green Gables
This book is another installment of the Chronicles of Avonlea series where it's basically short stories that happens in Avonlea, Anne does star in one of the stories but she is not a main character .. what I gathered is this book happens during the first four books in the series and it was really enjoyable and fun to hang around these people
there were some bitter stories but overall the book has a happy feel to it
I really enjoyed my time in this world .. thank you Lucy for bringing us joy with your writings .. and I will certainly check out her other books in the future
The narrator was nice .. she did perform in a way that made me engage with the stories but nothing remarkable in her performace

Jealously, Murder, Love, Oh Yes, A Cat
Grace Conlin did full justice to this work. I cannot give high enough praise to her performance. Montgomery's magnificent powers are on full display in these fifteen little stories of love, loss, redemption and human dramas. No one does cat stories better than Lucy Maude Montgomery. My favorites are the cats of Patty's Place in "Anne of the Island", Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in "Rilla of Inglesides" and from this collection "Aunt Cynthia's Persian Cat" is definitely a star. I am only mentioning a few stories that I particularly enjoyed but there are none in this collection that I would have passed up. "Her Father's Daughter" is about a girl on her wedding whose parents had separated years earlier. Actually, her mother had got into a pet and locked the guy out. However, the girl didn't lock her father out and is hell bent on having him at her wedding. In "Jane's Baby", two women get into an all out cat fight over who gets their dead sister's baby. "The Dream Child" is about the loss of a child and how the husband and wife go forth. It is a bit strange but not too. "The Education of Betty", well think of the movie "Daddy Long Legs" with Janet Gaynor. In this case, the book is better. Guess who comes to the wedding in "Only a Common Fellow"? I am not telling. "Tannis of the Flats" is a bit unusual, first there is a murder then most of the story takes place in Alberta instead of the Maritimes. Remember there is a thread in Montgomery's stories that these folks are linked to the sea and to traveling off into the dangerous unknowns. Even sometimes the women folk head west. For instance, Jane Anderson couldn't find a husband in P.E.I. so off she charged to the west country and snagged herself a for real millionaire. This little story also touches the conflicting cultures of the Europeans and the natives. Montgomery did an outstanding job with this one in particular.

not my fav by this author, but still enjoyable
my teens and I listened together and enjoyed several of these stories. definitely wasn't top of our list for this author, but still mostly enjoyable. was good if you are looking for stand alone but somewhat interconnected stories that are short- like a nice listen over lunch- which is what we wanted and it delivered for that purpose. definitely a 'mixed bag' of stories- not all lighthearted, some just kinda odd, but on the plus side- each is a surprise.

Disappointed with the unexpected racism
Disappointed with the unexpected racism at the end. I’ve never heard her so blatantly prejudiced in other books.

Last Story is very racist
The first few stories were pretty good, I really enjoyed the one about the cat, but the last story was awful. It was one of the most openly racist things I’ve ever heard.
