Anne's House of Dreams

Anne's House of Dreams by Lucy Maud Montgomery
By: (1874-1942)

Anne’s House of Dreams is the fifth book in the Anne of Green Gables series, which features the culmination of an epic love story. The installment chronicles the lives of Anne and Gilbert as they experience life as a newlywed couple and build the foundation of their future together. A tale uniting the much-loved characters also brings a farewell to Anne Shirley and officially welcomes Anne Blythe.

The novel begins with the preparations for the wedding between Anne and her one true love Gilbert Blythe, who is finally a qualified doctor. The highly anticipated wedding is held in the Green Gables orchard, and among the guests are Marilla and childhood friend Diana. After the wedding, the couple moves to Four Winds Harbor where Gilbert will take over his uncle’s medical practice. There they settle into their new home by the shore which Anne refers to as their “house of dreams”. The new surroundings bring a colorful new array of characters including Captain Jim, Miss Cornelia Bryant, and the piteous neighbor Leslie. Unfortunately, the honeymoon stage comes to an end, as their marriage must endure its first hardships. The limelight is partially taken off Anne and instead is focused on the tragic life of Leslie. The Blythe’s find themselves in a clash of emotions and ethics, given their emotional attachment and different approaches to various issues.

Montgomery’s fifth installment changes its perception of Anne adding a new tone of sadness to the series which differs from that of the previous books. Portrayed as more mature, Anne still tries to maintain her passionate and dreamy nature. Sorrow, tragedy, trouble in marriage, and moral duty are just some of the themes explored throughout its pages. Anne’s House of Dreams signifies the new chapter in the life of Anne as she takes on the role of wife, neighbor, friend and mother.

Subject: Excellent reading
Loved the reader. She has great tone and keeps ones interest, but I did enjoy previous books in this series which included different character voices.

I really love listening to this book. As a kid I don't like spending my time reading books and this really helps me stay away from spending my time watching things on my phone. When I listen I usually color or draw. And I love Anne of green gables.

Subject: Well read
The reader is excellent. However, I love the other books how the narration is broken up into characters. With it being all one voice, it's harder for me to always know who's speaking. It's harder to multi-task this way. But, like I said, she is an excellent reader and the book was very enjoyable to listen to.

I ejoyed this one as much as the others, I did have to adjust myself after hearing all the voices read by different narrators. But it only took a chapter or two. Thoroughly lovely book!

It was a good book, but it was a little bit hard to adjust to the new voice. I had only before heard Anne as the other narrator, so it was hard to adjust. The story was excellent. I like to listen to it while I clean or work

What a lovely book!The reader was excellent! A very enjoyable pass time. I must say I agree with the other review stating the criticism isn't warranted. This is the 2nd time I am listening and am as much enthralled as the first time. Very well done.

Excellent narration! Enjoyed this story so much. Very impressed with the reader as well. Thank you for sharing!

Subject: Fair change of pace
The first three books were read by a different narrator who did indeed suit Anne very very nicely, but I found this one to be a perfectly suitable replacement for an older, more collected but still very warm and sweet Anne. I don't think all the criticism is warranted.
Reviewer: - November 12, 2013
Subject: Kept tuning out!
I enjoyed the first three books. I must say this is almost boring and I find myself listening and not really hearing. I have had to restart chapter 7 three times. I can't stand it anymore, time to find a different book.

Subject: Awful voice
The first Thee of the Anne of Green Gables is read by a lovely voice that suits Anne perfectly. This on Anne's House of dreams is just terrible!
Reviewer: - March 22, 2013
Subject: Beautifully read!
I quite enjoyed this narration! You emphasize it almost exactly as I read it, which is very rare on this site. Your pace was quick enough to carry me along, but not so fast that I dropped behind you. It was close to reading the book myself, and I appreciate that very, very much. Thank you for this interpretation of one of my favorite books from one of my favorite authors!

Subject: very good
I wish this was also dramatized like the first ones, but I still enjoyed this very much. The reader is very good. Thank you
