Publisher's Summary

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.

Critic Reviews

"Listeners will relish this production of L.M. Montgomery's classic.... As Anne, McAdams's delivery is light and breathy and ever so speedy, but clear and eloquent." ( AudioFile)

Fantastic narration !

Absolutely loved listening to Rachel McAdams tell the wonderful story of Anne of green gables! I wish she'd narrate other books in the series.

Happy to spend 9 hours listening Rachel McAdams

Honestly I found myself laughing probably when I'm not supposed to, if it wasn't for Rachel McAdams' reading I would have given up.

A right time

I’m 58. I would never have appreciated such a wonderful story full of wonderful characters in any of my former 57 years. The timing was right. I’m glad I’m 58. And I’m glad I listened to this book.

Classic

A classic story told with feeling and passion. The best version I have ever heard. I would love Rachel to do the rest of the series then read my other childhood favourites.

Rachel McAdams gives a fantastic performance of a beloved classic

I have only discovered a love of audiobooks in the last six months and it is always with some trepidation that I approach a much beloved book from my childhood - will the narration be a joy or a disappointment? Will the quality of the audio enhance or detract from the source material? I need not have worried about this version of Anne of Green Gables.

Rachel McAdams does an absolutely magnificent job with her narration. This was wonderful to listen to and I didn’t want it to end! I laughed out loud, I teared up in many places. It was truly wonderful.

PLEASE Audible, could you persuade Rachel McAdams to do more narrations? I would love her to continue on with the other Avonlea books.

Rachel McAdams totally brings this story to life with her unmatchable talent. I enjoyed every minute of this audiobook. Her performance of each of the characters is so clever and just wonderful!

Loved Anne and Rachel

I really enjoyed this classic book and Rachel McAdams interpretation of the characters voices. I really hope they do the rest of the series with Rachel because if they do I for sure will be purchasing them!
