The fifth book of Anne of Green Gables series follows Anne’s story during her first years of marriage to Gilbert Blythe. after marriage, Gilbert rents a house in Prince Edward Island, so he can be close to his uncle, how is a doctor himself and wants to turn over his practice to his nephew. As usual, Anne makes friends as quickly as we all know. One of her fast friends, Leslie, is tough and doesn’t want to be friends with Anne at first place. But, with Anne’s wisdom and patience, they get along eventually. But then, things start to get bad. I won’t spoil it, but it’s tragic and Anne will never be the same again. She will always have a pain in her heart. The most good thing for Anne is that, at the end, she has a baby.
I was impressed by the way the writer handled Leslie’s family predicament problem. I also liked Owen and Cornelia a lot. Although I must say that Marilla and Diana bearly appears at all.

On retrouve l'esprit du premier, toute sa poésie et sa douceur !!
After the scattershot nature of the previous "Anne" book, this was a welcome relief. This time, there was a narrative structure which vaulted this book in to the category of "my favorite book of the series so far." The cast of characters was varied and interesting and even characters from other books came to visit now and then. There was a very nice narrative arc, unseen in any of the other books. And I greatly enjoyed Anne and Gilbert as young marrieds, though Gilbert at times seems to just fill the "husband" character and not show much of his own character.
Reads like fanfic. Grown-up Anne and Gilbert are annoying and everyone is so cloying.
Goodbye rebellious badass Anne, hello Good Christian wife Anne. How dare she contradict Gilbert! THE MAN. How dare she write anymore, she is a WIFE NOW. Gilbert who valued her feistiness and intelligence is now condescending and sexist, when he is even present.
And the whole mess with Leslie Moore… I wanted Anne to tell Gilbert to f*ck off and run away with Leslie. The plot with Gilbert and Leslie’s husband…. And Captain Jim. Yes let us do everything in our power — go way out of the way! — to get the abusive husband back with his child-bride.
As always the best part is the setting descriptions. Too bad Anne is an angelic Christian virtue Mary Sue and all the new characters (who start off interesting!) are forced into marriage and stereotypical gender roles (that some of them were free of for most of the book!) instead of getting actual development.
