Anne is married and has moved to the misty shores of Four Winds Harbour and her small house of dreams. Her bridal dreams and optimism are shining her way, but are they enough?

I think the best way to describe this book is it’s poignant. From the first page, you find yourself absorbed into Anne’s new world with its light and darkness. The new characters are very memorable and very

alive. Their happiness and their sorrows are deep and get more ‘screen’ time than most other side characters.

While Anne is still the titular character, and the book features very important and emotional moments for her, to some extent, she starts stepping back somewhat allowing other characters to shine. If anything, many consider it the last actually ‘Anne’ book as you will see in the next few books.

I still recommend it because it’s very emotionally beautiful!
