About this listen

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.

Absolutely loved Rachel McAdams reading a beloved classic. My husband enjoyed it too and he doesn't even enjoy novels.

I am a committed Anne of Green Gables fan, and was prepared to be very severe on Rachel McAdams' reading. It took some getting used to -- I couldn't quite sympathise with her approach to Marilla -- but the reading grows on you and I would say she does a stellar job. This is a delightful novel, full of truth and joy and amusement, and absolutely everyone should listen to this. If you need a good cheering up with the world, this is the audiobook you need. Enjoy.

A childhood delight -- unmissable

As an avid Anne of Green Gables reader and watcher, I have truly enjoyed this reading of the first book in the series. McAdams has such a clear and crisp voice that matches my imaginings from the story.

A great listen for any Anne follower.
