Synopsis

For as long as she can remember, Jane Stuart and her mother have lived with her controlling grandmother in a dreary mansion in Toronto. Jane always believed her father was dead, so she was shocked to receive an invitation to stay with him for the summer on Prince Edward Island. But from their very first meeting, Jane fell in love with her charming father and his whimsical cottage. During her stay with him, she even found herself daring to dream that there could be such a house back in Toronto - a house where she, Mother, and Father could live together without Grandmother directing their lives - a house that she could come to call home.

2021 reread: I wasn't as satisfied this time around. I think the abrupt ending bothered me, and I wanted more, such as showing Robin finally standing up to Grandmother (unless Robin just left and never talked to her), Dad, Robin, and Jane happy together, etc. I get so caught up with Jane and her stor......more

SO delightful. Can I just drop everything and live on PEI now, please? I mean, I'll take my family. And as long as I'm making outrageous requests of the universe, I'm going to throw in a little time travel as well - PEI about a century ago. Thanks.......more

Goodreads review by Miranda on December 01, 2009

This book is such a comfort read for me. I love Jane because she breaks away from the typical L.M. Montgomery mould of being the sensitive, dreamy, romantic type with a wonderful imagination.
