Anne Shirley begins married life with Gilbert Blythe in a little house by the sea, where love, friendship, sorrow, and hope gather around her new home. Leaving Green Gables behind, Anne settles into the house of dreams at Four Winds Harbor, ready to build a life with Gilbert and discover what adulthood, marriage, community, and belonging will mean beyond the familiar world of Avonlea.
This sixth book in the Anne series has a gentler, more mature tone than Anne's girlhood adventures, but it retains Montgomery's warmth, humor, emotional clarity, and gift for memorable characters. Anne and Gilbert's new neighbors include the loyal and tragic Captain Jim, the sharp-tongued but tenderhearted Miss Cornelia Bryant, and the beautiful, wounded Leslie Moore, whose unhappy marriage and hidden grief give the novel some of its strongest emotional weight. Through these relationships, Montgomery explores domestic happiness, moral courage, female friendship, grief, healing, and the quiet heroism of ordinary lives.
First published in 1917, Anne's House of Dreams remains one of the most beloved later Anne novels. It is especially appealing to readers who want to follow Anne beyond childhood into marriage and womanhood, while still enjoying the sea air, lyrical description, romantic feeling, community life, and emotional generosity that make Montgomery's Prince Edward Island fiction enduringly popular.
