She writes the perfect girls story with just the right mix of adventure, drama and happiness. I find her books a comfort to read and have re-read most of her works many times over the years. They are classics for a reason and that reason is they are great. These are true comfort books for me and books I enjoy re-reading again and again. ( ) The Doctor's Sweetheart is a collection of short stories previously published in various magazines. Most of them are love stories, but there are some other subjects covered here too. My favorites are probably "Lady Jane" in which a man becomes dinner partners with the girl who broke his heart and has to pretend to be his cousin, and "The Bride is Waiting" in which a woman helps a friend furnish his new house for his bride-to-be. Some have borne the passage of time better than others though. "By the Grace of Julius Caesar", in which a man's dog trees the two women whom he's asked to marry and the man refuses to call off the dog until one of them agrees to marry him, is only funny if you don't think too much into it. If you enjoy Montgomery's writing, you'll probably want to at least glance through this one. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
In this remarkable collection of fourteen previously uncollected stories, L.M. Montgomery weaves her unique brand of magic as she explores the private passions of the heart. A country doctor never loses faith in the young woman who swears to return to him; a beautiful maiden, in a fit of pique, recklessly pledges to marry the very first man who asks her; an estranged wife bets her future happiness on a horse race; two maiden ladies, scared onto a roof by a dog, ponder marriage to the dog's owner as the price of rescue. These are some of the unforgettable characters whose stories--of romance and friendship reconciliation and abiding love--live again in an anthology L.M. Montgomery readers will treasure.
