Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery is an absolutely delightful read. Anne is an orphan from Nova Scotia brought to Prince Edwards Islands to the Cuthburts by mistake: they wanted a boy, got a VERY talkative and imaginative girl.
The novel follows Anne as she grows up and makes lots of mistakes and learns from them. She grows into a very compassionate, very intelligent young woman.
I liked this book for several different reasons. I thought the character of Anne was very well wrought. Her voice "spoke" to me at night (much to my dismay as it's a very chatty voice and I couldn't sleep), and her lessons growing up were all training grounds to help her become a useful and compassionate adult.
I'm looking forward to reading other books by Montgomery.
I rate this one a 5 and recommend it to all readers.
