Publisher's Summary
In the fifth book in the series, Anne's own true love, Gilbert Blythe, is finally a doctor, and, in the sunshine of the old orchard among their dearest friends, they are about to speak their vows.

Beautiful story beautifully performed
This story of Anne and Gilbert's first few years of married life is delightful. Her new friends in the town where she will spend the rest of her life, Leslie, Miss Cornelia, Captain Jim, her faithful servant Susan, make their first appearances here and become beloved to us, as Anne settles into her new role as wife and mother, continued in the final 3 books of the series.
Another reviewer complained that it was mostly about her friendships, no mention or description of their wedding night etc. But it should be noted that this book was first published in 1917!!! Polite society didn't even mention things like pregnancy back then never mind any description of details of a couple's intimate life! So enjoy this series, this book included, for what it is: a lovely, timeless, sweet period piece set over a century ago, about a charming, sweet, smart, loving girl growing wiser and deeper as the decades pass.
I liked the reader here. I'm picky, and there were quite a few different versions for this book. I listened to each sample and read the reviews to boot. This performance was my favorite. It did not didappoint! She added a good level of expression, gave distinctive voices to the characters, and her pacing was good. A very enjoyable listen! ....Onward to "Anne of Ingleside"!

Great Story
I love the Anne of Green Gables series. I love the characters and how they interact with each other. The reader really brings an image to each character. I can't wait to listen to the next book in the series.
