• Rilla's Beauty and Romance

  We are launching into Rilla of Ingleside with one of our signature character studies! Rilla Blythe is the family beauty, and she knows it. But what good is being pretty and popular in the midst of a terrible war? We’re discussing parties and weddings, courtships and crushes, and the way World War I changed everything. We’re also comparing Rilla to a similar heroine – Jane Austen’s Emma.   Inspired by: Kelly recommends war romances like The English Patient by Michael Ondaatje and the Survivor’s Club series by Mary Balogh, the first one is The Proposal. Ragon recommends the Nyx Smushy Soft Matte Lip Balm for a blurred lip moment.
