He doesn't need a wife, he need a firm kick to the teeth. And what does the town think? He's a fine minister, though he could use a wife to manage things. WEEKS.Īnd what do the children think? That he's the best father in the world. The orphan girl lived under the same roof as the father. The children even adopted an orphan girl for two weeks before he noticed. None of his children ever had much to eat, they ran around in literal rags and at one point, one child watched as her pet rooster was slaughtered and served for dinner. He neglects his children, his house and his life in order to be a better minister. Their widowed minister father is the worst man I've read about in a long time. Every sin they commit or moment of disobedience can be traced back to an gosh-darn honest mistake - they could do no wrong and I hated them for it. Me.Īnne's kids are secondary to the "Mary-Sue" Meredith clan - a wholesome, cherub-faced group of sorely neglected children who adore their minister father and God with all their heart.
Montgomery doubled the amount of precocious children and shoves Anne's kids off to the side. Well, if that wasn't bad enough, book 7 has Anne as a tertiary character.

I thought Book 6 was rock bottom - turns out I was wrong. These kind-hearted, but misguided children fumble their way through bringing themselves up, and learn about life and love along the way.Over ten Mary-Sues in one book? Got to be a record. This leads to their many adventures causing the ladies of the town to gossip, risking their father's job.
