In this episode, we delve into Lucy Maude Montgomery's beloved Anne of the Island, specifically Chapter XI, "The Round of Life". Anne Shirley returns to Avonlea, her academic achievements at Redmond College marked by the Thorburn Scholarship, only to face the sobering realities of life's constant changes. She confronts the fragility of existence through the heartbreaking news of a dear friend's battle with "galloping consumption," a term for a particularly aggressive form of tuberculosis that progressed rapidly and often led to death within months. This somber turning point in Anne's story is made all the more poignant by a fact about the author: Lucy Maud Montgomery herself tragically lost her own mother to tuberculosis when she was just 21 months old, mirroring the disease that now threatens one of Anne's cherished school-chums.
