If you are joining in on the book of the month with Twenty History Lane (and I hope you will!) then for September we have two different options we are reading! You can choose to read one or both this month and we look forward to discussing them at the end of the month! For the month of September we will be focusing on the decade of 1910-1919 and the book choices are:
Rilla of Ingleside by L.M. Montgomery
or
The Guns of August by Barbara W. Tuchman
Rilla of Ingleside, the 8th book in the popular "Anne of Green Gables" series tells the story of Anne's 14-year old daughter, Rilla. During this sweet coming of age book, Rilla dreams of her first dance and hoping for her first kiss but her life is disrupted and changed when her brother's go leave to fight in the "Great War". Originally published in 1921, L.M. Montgomery brings to light the way the war shaped and affected family members during this time.
The Guns of August, a Pulitzer Prize-winning book, by Barbara W. Tuchman, tells the story of the first month of World War I. Weaving historical details and characters, Tuchman shares the importance of the first 30 days of the summer of 1914 that will determine the course of the war.
