With all of the pluck and charm of its eponymous young hero, Rachel McAdams (The Notebook, Spotlight, Midnight in Paris) delivers a spectacular reading of Montgomery's beloved bildungsroman. In moments both funny and bittersweet, McAdams' voice is imbued with the spark that has made Anne a much-loved symbol of individualism and cheer for over a century. In this story of "kindred spirits", McAdams' touching and heartfelt narration proves she is just that - bonded on a deep level to this shimmering classic.

When aging brother and sister Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert decide to adopt an orphan boy to help with chores around their farm, Green Gables on Prince Edward Island, neither is prepared for the feisty and imaginative redheaded girl who is mistakenly brought to them instead. Nor are they prepared for the way in which she will change their lives. Through a series of hilarious misadventures, Anne's uncompromising spirit makes her a striking presence in the close-knit village, bringing new friendships, first crushes, and, for her foster parents, a love and openness unimaginable before her arrival.

Such a classic story, Rachel did a great job, easy to listen and exactly how I would read it in my head!

Classic!

This was an absolute joy of a listen. Even my two rough and tumble boys wanted to know if they could listen along to Anne's childhood play out before bed each night. It has been a nice change of pace from Mario and Minecraft around here. I will admit that before this listen, my childhood memories of Anne were not quite as joyful. I was very hung up on the "not wanting her because she isn't a boy" piece of the story and completely checked out for the rest - I really missed out. I loved every second of this performance and Rachel was the perfect narrator.

Can Rachel McAdams narrate everything, please?

I have always loved this piece of classic Canadian literature and Anne's bright-eyed way of seeing the world despite a less-than-ideal beginning to life. Her big words and even bigger personality are always entertaining to experience. Having a famous Canadian actress narrate was a great idea, and Rachel McAdams a particularly good choice. She embodied Anne's innocent enthusiasm perfectly!
