About this listen

Anne Shirley has left Redmond College behind to begin a new job and a new chapter of her life away from Green Gables. Now she faces a new challenge: the Pringles. They're known as the royal family of Summerside--and they quickly let Anne know she is not the person they had wanted as principal of Summerside High School. But as she settles into the cozy tower room at Windy Poplars, Anne finds she has great allies in the widows Aunt Kate and Aunt Chatty and in their irrepressible housekeeper, Rebecca Dew. As Anne learns Summerside's strangest secrets, winning the support of the prickly Pringles becomes only the first of her delicious triumphs.

Anne of green gables should never be read in an English accent! Atleast she didn’t put on any weird voices for the characters!

Well read but never in an English accent!

Choosing a narrator with an English accent for an iconic Canadian book was an odd choice. But the main issue is the narrator's constant "up speak". Once you hear it, every sentence grates. The only reason I listened to the whole audio book was my love of the original book.

Irritating narration

I didn't like the writing style at the beginning, which is excerpts from letters to Gilbert. It felt forced, like she didn't have a plot worked out in her head and she was just filling up pages until the book took shape.

It improved as the book went on when it changed writing styles to being about events in her life, this still included excerpts of letters to Gilbert, but that was more incidental.

The narrator was OK on the whole. But I wasn't keen on her sensational voices. Ordinary speaking and narration were quite pleasant.

Not Montgomery's best work

i was so pleased to finally have an audible copy of this title, but oh my, the narration! inflections and pauses and emphasis in the strangest of places, with total disregard for punctuation and content. not sure i can finish it to be honest

narrator ruins cherished story

The story itself is wonderful but the narrator misspoke words like “somethink” and others that were very grating to listen to. Also an English accent doesn’t really work with a Canadian location and characters.

Good story inappropriate narration
