Back
in the 1990’s as a teen, I would save up my money and always be on the lookout
at B. Dalton for any “new” books by L.M. Montgomery (author of Anne of Green
Gables). I had all her novels, but
collections of her short stories kept appearing. I devoured them all. Montgomery’s short stories are like the
snippets about different characters that are found in her full-length novels.
At
the Altar was comfort reading perfect for a global pandemic. It was chosen as the May pick for the Facebook
L.M. Montgomery book club. I had not
read it since I was a teenager and I greatly enjoyed revisiting it. All the stories in this collection end with a
happy marriage, but the path to the marriage differs. Some of the stories were whimsical, and some
were quite humorous. Many involved men
and women who thought they were too old for love but are able to find the
perfect person. There are misunderstandings
that are made right, like in one story where the kids wreck their Aunt’s
romance, but can make amends. I enjoyed
them all.
Overall,
At the Altar is a perfect comfort read with happy wedded endings for all the
stories.
