Story
One of Jane Austen’s most beloved works, Pride and Prejudice, is vividly brought to life by Academy Award nominee Rosamund Pike ( Gone Girl). In her bright and energetic performance of this British classic, she expertly captures Austen’s signature wit and tone. Her attention to detail, her literary background, and her performance in the 2005 feature film version of the novel provide the perfect foundation from which to convey the story of Elizabeth Bennet, her four sisters, and the inimitable Mr. Darcy.

The narrator’s voice doesn’t fit the character.
I found the narrator’s voice to be too deep for the character of Anne Shirley. Also, I didn’t hear much variation in the voice presentation of each character.

Grown Up, Off to College and Romance
Good storytelling is good storytelling whether complex or simple; Heidi or War and Peace. Montgomery's style is crisp, simple and enjoyable. Her stories were not in the style of War and Peace but on the hand, I don't think Leo Tolstoy could have written anything like Anne of Green Gables. In any case, Lucy Maud Montgomery is near the top of my favorite writers especially when I need something to enjoy without effort. I think I have read all of her dozens of books and many of her scores of short stories.
Anne is all grown up and off to the big college of Redmond. Montgomery seems to put into her stories the tales which have an oral tradition of the Maritime Provinces. I have no doubt that this is the source of many of Anne Shirley's adventures. There is a ring of truth to them. They actually happened to someone at some time. My favorites include the two old woman of Patty's Place; oh, yes and the cats! I know they were real. No one could make them up. To Anne's eternal vexation, the all grown up young lady received some of the best "worst" proposals of marriage ever. They stand alongside Mr. Collins' proposal to Elizabeth Bennet and even Mr. Darcy's first proposal to the same lady as awesomely horrible. I think Montgomery reports actual proposals. Oh, yes, she refused them all, including the rather nice expected (by the reader)one from Gilbert.
The death of Ruby Gillis, the beautiful social butterfly is one of Montgomery's best scenes. In addition, that moment when Anne thought Gilbert was dying and she has a flash of insight into her own heart is quite moving. One last thing, "playing gooseberry" or "going gooseberry" means to chaperon. I got that straight from the P.E.I. public relations department and the LM Montgomery Institute.

Wonderful story. Mediocre narrator
I have loved Anne Shirley most of my life, have read and re-read the books, seem the wonderful Sullivan portrayals, and wanted to listen while driving. The story is as beloved as ever, but this telling will require some “imagination “. Though the voice is warm, too low of pitch is used for all of Davey, and some of Anne. Mrs Lind and Marilla sway in and out of a southern US drawl- which drove me crazy. Even Davey sometimes had a tinge of drawl- these were proper speaking Canadians- I was partly raised by one- an islander as well- there was no southern drawl! If you can overlook that, then listen- I would recommend choosing a different one.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Anne of the Island?
That would give away an important part of the story.
What about Barbara Caruso’s performance did you like?
She has a kind voice, reads with a great deal of feeling, and does a good job doing different voices.
