Our rating:

Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert live at Green Gables on Prince Edward Island in Canada. As Matthew is getting older, he can’t keep up with the work required in maintaining Green Gables, so he and Marilla decide to adopt a boy from an orphanage to help Matthew. The boy arrives soon afterward, and the boy’s a girl! Anne Shirley. She has an imagination that surpasses all others, and she immediately falls in love with Green Gables. But Matthew and Marilla aren’t sure whether Anne can stay or not. Soon, of course, Anne succeeds in capturing their hearts with her well-meaning ways, and Matthew and Marilla couldn’t imagine life without her.

All the characters in this book are so vividly portrayed, that they seem to be almost alive, and no matter how different you may be from Anne, you’ll still be able to find something in common, and soon you’ll be sharing in all her ups and downs. This, of all books, truly fits the description “heartwarming.” It’s one of my favorites.
