Anne of Green Gables

In this beloved coming-of-age novel, an orphaned girl with a vivid imagination and a gift for language is mistakenly sent to live with Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a stern but lonely farming couple on Prince Edward Island. What begins as a clerical error evolves into a profound transformation for all involved, as Anne Shirley’s spirited personality challenges the rigid social norms of the rural community. The narrative follows her journey from a misunderstood outsider to a central figure in the lives of her foster family and friends, exploring themes of identity, belonging, and the power of imagination.
