“Lush, evocative…timeless…Conlin sustains the idyllic, gossipy quality of Montgomery’s story…She projects the sentimental aura of the turn of the century.”

The Golden Road Listener Reviews

" In some ways, The Golden Road is even stronger than The Story Girl. "
— Kristen, 2/12/2014 -
" Nice story. I read this second book of a series before the first one so I felt like I didn't know the characters like I knew Anne or Emily. "
— Lauri, 2/4/2014 -
" Few books capture the innocence of childhood as do the works of L.M. Montgomery. I loved her books as a little girl, and I love them still now. This one ends bittersweet - childhood innocence giving way to adulthood. "
— Ashley, 2/3/2014 -
" Liked this a lot. Perhaps a little repetitive as some of the Montgomery books are, but it was different in its own way than all the others I've read. "
— Shani, 1/7/2014 -

" Lovely and sweet sequel to The Story Girl. "
— Allison, 12/4/2013 -
" A few places where the phrases bear a little too close a resemblance to its predecessor but by and large, as usual for Montgomery's work, I found it charming. "
— Whitney, 9/1/2013 -
" What was missing in the Story Girl I found in this book. I loved it so much and was so sad when it ended. I am in love with the characters and they made me wish I was back on the golden road myself. "

" Ini buku klasik yang keren banget menurut saya.. Bercerita tentang persahabatan yang natural. Ada bertengkar, saling dukung, saling naksir, dan makin seru dengan sisipan dongeng-dongeng. Dan pastinya, lucu! Lucu yang butuh mikir dan bikin keinget2 terus... :D "

" I loved it. I gave it 5 stars. i grew up watching "Avonlea" on the Disney Channel so it helped. This is the sequel to "The Story girl" which I didn't know it was in an order but I loved it just the same. Reasd "The Story Girl" first. "

About L. M. Montgomery
Lucy Maud Montgomery was born on November 30th, 1874, in Clifton, Prince Edward Island, Canada. Although she lived during a time when few women received a higher education, Lucy attended Prince Wales College in Charlottestown, PEI, and then Dalhousie University in Halifax. At seventeen she went to Halifax, Nova Scotia, to write for a newspaper, the Halifax Chronicle, and for its evening edition, the Echo. But Lucy returned to live with her grandmother in Cavendish, PEI, where she taught and contributed stories to magazines. It was this experience, along with the lives of her farmer and fisherfolk neighbors, that came alive when she wrote her Anne books, beginning with Anne of Green Gables (1908). Anne of Green Gables brought her overnight success and international recognition. It was followed by eight other books about Anne and Avonlea, as well as a number of other delightful novels, including her Emily series, which began in 1923 with Emily of New Moon. But it is her delightful heroine Anne Shirley, praised by Mark Twain as “the most moving and delightful child of fiction since the immortal Alice,” who remains a popular favorite throughout the world. She and her husband, the Rev. Ewen MacDonald, eventually moved to Ontario. Lucy Montgomery died in Toronto in 1942.
