Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery

4.0

Audiobook while walking. I had never read this and am on a focus to read/hear more in the classic category. Lovely little story of the orphan Anne and her adoption from the orphan asylum by the Cutberts, Matthew and Marilla. They are a brother and sister in their 50’s and 60’s needing help on the “farm”. The story takes place on St. Edward Island, Canada. Avonlea is an idyllic setting for the imaginative Anne. The story takes place from her adoption at 11 years until just over 16 years of age. Anne is dramatic and talkative and wants to please. She adapt well to the Cutberts and they quickly see the blessing in having Anne in their home. Wholesome and sweet but the story does not skip over the sadness of death. So happy to have listened. The narrator was ok.
