Patricia Gardiner loved Silver Bush more than anything else in the world. She was born and raised in the beautiful old-fashioned house on Prince Edward Island, "where things always seemed the same" and good things never changed. But things do change at Silver Bush--from her first day at school to the arrival of her new own first romance. Through it all, Pat shares her experiences with her beloved friends and discovers the one thing that truly never changes: the beauty and peace she will always find at Silver Bush--the house that remembers her whole life.
While not my favorite book of Montgomery’s, this story is a reread for me and one that I was really excited to experience again!
Pat is an entirely different creature, in that she is wholly and completely devoted to not a person, but a place. And that place is Silver Bush.
Silver Bush has been in Pat’s family for many generations. And while not as old as Silver Bush, Judy Plum–the Gardiner family help–has been at Silver Bush for generations, all on her own.
My most favorite aspect of this story are the characters. Between Judy’s many wonderful tales, Pat’s vivid imagination and devotion to home, and the myriad of cats all residing at Silver Bush–I was enthralled with this story on my second reading.
My only “bone” with it is that because I loved Jingle so much, I felt like he needed to be a part of the story more.
I’ve already started Mistress Pat and am excited to read all over again how this story ends!

Her three children were born at Leaskdale, and she wrote close to a dozen books while she was living in the Leaskdale Manse before the Macdonald family moved to Norval, Ontario in 1926.
