5.0 out of 5 stars Following The Golden Road...
Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2010
Verified Purchase
"The Golden Road" is the sweet-souled sequel to Lucy Maud Montgomery's excellent "The Story Girl." The novels must be read in order; "The Golden Road" picks up without preamble where its predecessor left off.

The King brothers Bev and Felix; their King cousins Felicity, Dan, and Cecily; "Story Girl" Sara Stanley; and neighbors Sara Ray and Peter Craig face winter in the small town of Carlisle, on Canada's Prince Edward Island. To pass the time, the children decide to publish their own magazine, with stories, advice, and personal ads. The magazine will be only the beginning of their adventures, as the children wrestle with New Year's resolutions, host the strange visit of an aunt who isn't an aunt, survive a snowstorm, spend a night in a witch's house, attend a wedding and a funeral, and prepare for the departure of some of their own.

"The Golden Road" is less about telling stories, although the Story Girl has a beauty in finally solving the mystery of the Awkward Man. This novel centers on the interactions of the children as they arrive at the awkward edges of adolescence. Much of the story, including a bittersweet ending, is told in retrospect by one of them. However, it is Montgomery's superb narrative gift that makes the journey entirely worthwhile. "The Golden Road" is very highly recommended to fans of Lucy Maud Montgomery, especially those who enjoyed "The Story Girl."

The Story Girl is one of my favorite characters of all times. Her cleverness, imagination and creative tellings charm the reader. The bonds of relations and friendships told over precious youth reveal innocence, humor and dear learning experiences. It was a joy to read.

This is a sequel to The Story Girl. It can be read first, as it often refers to its prequel where needed.

This is another amazing story written by a marvelous writer. She is able to weave the story into the mind of the readers so vividly that they become a part of the very book she is authoring.

5.0 out of 5 stars How Canada and the US were great.
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2018

I just love the old values. And the relationships are so well described. A lot of them (though not all) get better, and she tells how. I wish we all had the joys of growing our own food because it is so real. So much of our culture now is artificial. The pleasures of the young people in this book were home made and creative. Their relationships were deep and personal.

Ho comprato questi libri attratta dalla copertina meravigliosa. Sono un po' più piccoli di quanto mi aspettassi, ma ottimi! Ho preso anche "The story girl" e son li che attendono il loro turno di lettura! Splendida grafica, ottima carta, una aggiunta imperdibile alla collezione di libri di L. M. Montgomery, comprate senza esitare!

I wish that I could have been among this group of young people. It sounds as though they so enjoyed using their imaginations to construct pleasurable activities and the fun and laughter come across in the novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars べバリーのノスタルジックな回顧録
Reviewed in Japan on July 26, 2006
Verified Purchase
　＊＊本作は『ストーリー・ガール』の続編です。登場人物の相関関係が全く説明されていないので、この作品を読まれることを検討されている方は、前作を併せて読まれることをお勧めします。＊＊

　この作品も、『ストーリー・ガール』に引き続いてベバリー少年の淡々とした語り口で進められ、８人の主人公の「その後」がノスタルジックに描かれている。

　８人のいずれかが主役となったり、前作ほど全員が何らかの事件で右往左往するエピソードは多くないが、前編を通して楽しめる話が詰まっている。「エライザ大叔母さん」が突然訪問するエピソードは特におかしくて思わず声を出して笑ってしまったし、学校のコンサートでのサラ・レイのエピソードも傑作。

「ストーリー・ガール」ことサラ・スタンリーが語る、NHKで放送されたドラマ"Road to Avonlea〜アボンリーへの道″にも登場したジャスパーが主役のエピソードも微笑ましい。
　
　登場人物に関しては、今回の作品ではフェリシティーの性格がよりキツくなっているのだが、ダンもそんなフェリシティーに対抗して「毒舌」を冴えさせるという成長ぶりを見せてくれる。また、前作ではあまり目立たなかった存在のシシリーの優しさ、愛らしさ、そして儚さにため息がもれる。
