Anne of Green Gables

By: Lucy Maud Montgomery

Narrated by: Rachel McAdams

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)

Salvation for the soul in these terrible times

When the country seems so dark and sad, it is a welcome relief to turn to this delightful book, which reminds one that no matter how terrible the times, there is always something to gladden the soul. Great narration.

Best read this year

I couldn't get enough! Performed beautifully by Rachel McAdams! I hope she records other novels as well

Master piece and ph McAdams

It was pure delight from the beginning till the very end, now I'm missing the characters and the adventures of Anne. McAdams gave this character life.

love love love

What a great read...the story and put performance were fantastic! I can't wait for the next in the series.

Great performance of a very interesting book

By a most fascinatingly wonderful actress. You can hear in Rachel McAdams voice that she is a kindred spirit. The story is very immersive, though I may be biased since I only bought this story because I absolutely adore Rachel and she has definitely delivered a most qualitative performance.

Forgive my writing style, unless you know of miss Lady Cordelia ;)
