Anne's House of Dreams by L.M. Montgomery

Series: Anne of Green Gables #5
Genre: Classics
Released: 1917
297 pages
About the Book:

Gilbert Blythe is finally a doctor, and at long last he and Anne are ready to say their vows. Soon husband and wife will be bound for a new life together in their own house of dreams, on the shores of Four Winds Harbor, near Gilbert's new medical practice in the village of Glen St. Mary.

Of course, a new life brings fresh surprises and fresh problems to solve. Anne and Gilbert soon find themselves entangled in the lives of their neighbors, including the lighthouse attendant, Captain Jim, with his sad stories of the sea; Miss Cornelia Bryant, a formidable woman who always speaks her mind; Owen Ford, who longs to write the Great Canadian Novel; and the tragically beautiful Leslie Moore, to whom Anne grows closer when her own perfect life is touched by heartbreak.





  
My Rating & Thoughts:    

I loved it. We not only get to reconnect with some of favourite characters from the early books but also meet new ones. Anne gets married and they begin their life together in a new community. They make some great friends, enjoy times of joy and times of sorrow but throughout it all they stick together and love life. I especially loved Captain Jim and his stories and seeing Leslie's life transform in an unexpected way. I loved this stage of Anne's life.

(I was gifted my copy of this book; opinions expressed
