Publisher's Summary

The mother of five, Anne never has a dull moment in her home, and, now with a new baby on the way and insufferable Aunt Mary Maria visiting - and wearing out her welcome - her life is full to bursting. Still, Mrs. Doctor can't think of any place she'd rather be than her own beloved Ingleside - that is, until the day she begins to worry that her adored Gilbert doesn't love her anymore. But how could that be?

She may be a little older, but she's still the same irrepressible, irreplaceable redhead - the wonderful Anne of Green Gables, all grown up and ready to make her cherished husband fall in love with her all over again!

Voice

Loving Barbara Caruso’s voice on other “Anne” books, I have tried and did listen to Barbara Barnes version, although was not able to “get into it”, and am very disappointed that there is not a copy of Barbara Caruso reading this. Every few months I listen to this series while driving or working and keep checking to see if there is another version for this book. So far, not.

Wonderful story HORRIBLE NARRATOR

L.M. Montgomery is turning over in her grave at the way this book was narrated. Can you say monotone.

The narrator seems to be uncomfortable.

The narrator seems to be on comfortable with the task of reading the book and makes it very difficult to get through

Not really about Anne

I thought this book was about Anne. It started out with Anne but the book took a big chunk to talk about the adventures of her children. Knowing that Rainbow Valley is supposed to be about her kids makes me feel cheated.
Like this was supposed to be the last real books about Anne and it really wasn't.

I Miss Barbara Caruso Reading to Me

I was so excited to see that the gap in the audio versions of the Anne series had been filled. These books have been a favorite of mine for many years. Imagine my disappointment when the audio sounded tinny and the reader really didn’t sound experienced. She paused in the wrong spots, no distinguishing voices and mispronounced names (Annie for Anne and not when the irritating aunt was calling her Annie! It happened when Anne was thinking to herself. It was just the slip of reading the “e” and not noticing-kind of a big deal in Anne’s world). She just seemed inexperienced. What a bummer. Hopefully it will be done again someday with a really solid reader. I miss the rich, flexible voice of Barbara Caruso. She was such an awesome narrator for these books.

Hate is mostly because of Performance

It is the least favorite of the Anne stories. I think mostly because of narration. I could not stand it sometimes. I am willing to buy another version with a different person reading. Unfortunately it is only the one version available

Bought audible version narrated by Barbara Barnes. Very enjoyable!

I really enjoyed this story. I tend to listen to Audible books when I do work or drive. Got spoiled with Mary Sarah’s reading of Anne of Green Gables, which made it a little hard to listen to other narrators of the series- but this narrator did a splendid job, in keeping with Anne’s personality and demeanor. Well done.

Matured storytelling

Although I love Montgomery's first book, Anne of Green Gables, there is something deeper and more mature to the stories she tells of Anne's children. Perhaps it's because I am currently a mother and wife, but this book in the series really touched my heart.

Absolutely obsessed with LM Montgomery.

I love all of the Anne of Green gables series. this is a wonderful recoding of a delightful story. escape to a simpler beautiful time.....

good story to almost end a saga

another wonderful well-written book by L M Montgomery. maybe not my favorite narrator but it wasn't too bad her voice is for the different characters just were not very distinguishable so you didn't always realize who was saying what.
