(view spoiler)[ "Nothing in the whole world could come between you and me, Betsy. We're . . . woven together. You know that. And darling, when I come back we'll have our little home again. We'll have Bettina.""How do you know all these things?" Betsy asked through her tears."I know," he said. "I feel it in my bones." (hide spoiler)]No words at the moment. Just extreme joy. I want to draw hearts all over this book.9/2015 stet9/2012 Such a perfectly crafted book to end the series! There's just enough hearkening back, just enough tidying up, just enough looking forward. And I don't care what the rest of you say, Sally Day is a perfectly lovely child. Perfectly lovely. 12/2009 I meant to luxuriate in this, the last book of the Betsy-Tacy series. But I was drawn in as deeply as ever. Joe topples mountains and swims seas for Betsy's love, and Betsy is still making lists and trying to be a better person. I hope
I cannot think of any other fictional series that carries the main characters from childhood (five years old) to marriage and settled adulthood. There is something immensely satisfying about this progression, although Betsy-Tacy love and devotion being what it is, I think that most of Lovelace's fans will agree with me: I wish there were at least one more novel! We have to look to Lovelace's own life to know what happens next.One of the things that I truly appreciated about this novel was the
"Joe sat up in bed, and Betsy told herself that she must never allow him to wear any pajamas but blue ones."It's been less than a year since I last read this, but with Maud's writing that doesn't matter. This book only gets better and better for me and I continue to revel in the "rightness" of Betsy and Joe together. 3-3-09 review:"After a while he went back to the bacon." Chose to re-read this in honor of my sister's wedding. The older I get, the more I treasure it. It's inspiring and just
Rereading the last book in a beloved favorite series, this is the one about what it's like for Betsy to be a newlywed. The brief honeymoon, their first home, furniture shopping and cooking disasters. Betsy and Joe are obviously in love. As much as this is Betsy's story, it is also Tacy and Tib's. Especially Tib, it is her story of being a single working girl in Minneapolis. She goes out dancing; she dates but cannot find Mr. Right. Being the good friends they are, Betsy and Tacy who is now a
I read "Betsy-Tacy" and "Betsy-Tacy and Tib" when I was in grade school, and I liked them a lot. I felt like Tib really added something to the close friendship that Betsy and Tacy (there's a nickname for Anastasia that you don't hear anymore!) had formed. And I enjoyed living vicariously through Betsy's "Great World" adventures, even though I'd never read about her high school or college years. Now she's back in town, newly engaged to Joe, and he wants to put a ring on it ASAP. And so he does,
Lovelace ends the stories of Betsy's childhood with a warmly written story about the triumphs and misadventures of being a wife. The story continues to shows Betsy's faithfulness to her family, friends, and now her husband, while giving a glimpse of life in the World War I era. Betsy's Wedding is a young adult book with charm, period grace and accuracy (Betsy is very concerned about learning to cook for her wonderful groom Joe) but also prescient in its concerns for her budding career as a
