Why this must be read: Feeling very much like the winsome nature of Anne and Gilbert's relationship is a perfect cure for any number of ills, I cheerfully recommend this vignette. Anne, ever internally ambivalent and eternally obstinate with regards to Gilbert Blythe, has an encounter with him that leaves her in a romantic frame of mind.

Dollsome captures Anne's internal monologue extremely well; the deeply romantic Anne is often thwarted by her determination to believe herself indifferent to Gilbert's obvious attachment to her.

I think this has a tone of "movieverse" to it, and faithful readers of the novels may be jarred if they aren't familiar with Kevin Sullivan's adaptations from the 1980s (Megan Follows version).

I needed cheering up, and this light story did the trick. I hope it does the same for you.
