Unfortunately, this book focuses more on Anne's children than Anne and Gilbert. I didn't hate it, but I was disappointed.

PBS use to do Anne of Green gables Telethons, and it was always my favorite time of year.
As a child I loved Anne of Green Gables, but for some reason I never read the full series, I always stopped after Anne of Avonlea.
It was fun to revisit the characters and the setting I loved so much as a child

Anne has disappeared by this point in the series and become a matronly woman with a brood of kids. The book focuses mainly on the trials and tribulations of her incredibly moral children and the town gossip, and we've lost some of the best characters like Rachel Lynde, Marilla, Davy, etc by this time as well.
I felt myself "hankering" after Avolea and the Anne that was before she married...
It just sort of dragged by with description after description of the seasons, the house, the nosy housekeeper...LMM just didn't keep Anne ANNE if you know what I mean. She's really no fun as a grown up, and as other commenters have mentioned, it is a huge disappointment that she gave up all of her writing when the children were born - and she has a live in handmaiden!!
so, if you want to read about a redheaded woman respected by all as she wanders into middle age with her half-dozen kids and their gigantic house full of luxuries missing from most people in her village, have at it.
But if you truly loved the Anne from Anne of Green Gables, perhaps you shouldn't spoil your opinion of her by watching her 'grow up'.

This part of the story had more ups and downs in personal enjoyment compared to the previous one. I loved the first half, but from the second half onwards it became more tedious as Anne and everything that makes her who she is appeared less and less. I grew fond of the children and enjoyed reading about them, though only up to a certain point.
Family life is sometimes a hard sell, but Montgomery tells the stories of Anne's children with a deft and humorous hand. And her commentary on marriage is nuanced and poignant.
