“Anne of Green Gables” by Lucy Maud Montgomery

Anne of Green Gables

(Anne of Green Gables Series, #1)

by Lucy Maud Montgomery

Synopsis: 

As soon as Anne Shirley arrives at the snug white farmhouse called Green Gables, she is sure she wants to stay forever . . . but will the Cuthberts send her back to to the orphanage? Anne knows she's not what they expected—a skinny girl with fiery red hair and a temper to match. If only she can convince them to let her stay, she'll try very hard not to keep rushing headlong into scrapes and blurting out the first thing that comes to her mind. Anne is not like anyone else, the Cuthberts agree; she is special—a girl with an enormous imagination. This orphan girl dreams of the day when she can call herself Anne of Green Gables.

I don't like that synopsis... but I can't find a better one. :/

My Review:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ & ❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎
5+ stars & 9/10 hearts. This book... oh, it is so good. I love it so much. So much beauty—beautiful descriptions, and beautiful thoughts, and beautiful lessons... It is a book to grow up with. I don’t agree with everything, but it is very humorous, and full of wonderful true-to-life characters. I love watching Anne grow and mature... the whole series is amazing, but this book is the best. <33

A Favourite Quote: “‘I feel it's a great responsibility because I have only the one chance. If I don't grow up right I can't go back and begin over again.’”

A Favourite Beautiful Quote: “Spring had come once more to Green Gables—the beautiful capricious, reluctant Canadian spring, lingering along through April and May in a succession of sweet, fresh, chilly days, with pink sunsets and miracles of resurrection and growth.”

A Favourite Humorous Quote: “‘Charlie Sloane says he's going to go into politics and be a member of Parliament, but Mrs. Lynde says he'll never succeed at that, because the Sloanes are all honest people, and it's only rascals that get on in politics nowadays.’”
