Anne's story could not diverge more from my life path and goals by the time we reach this book, and usually reading about a very old fashioned life for a woman would be uninteresting to me. However, I deeply enjoyed this book and that's a testament to L. M. Montgomery's beautiful writing and storytelling.
I was disappointed with the previous book in this series because I felt like we never really got to know any of the new characters, but House of Dreams is the complete opposite. We settle into a cozy, wistful feeling at the House of Dreams cottage in Four Winds and meet a complex cast of characters that are each relatable and lovable in their own sense. There is lots of sadness in this story, but also lots of joy and it really shows the full range of human emotion. This book focused on love so much - romantic and platonic - and the many ways in which we care for people we love.
I adored the characters in this story and will really miss them in the next instalment in the series.
