Over dit e-boek

In this fifth book of the Anne of Green Gables series, our red-haired heroine finally marries her childhood sweetheart and true love, Gilbert Blythe. After a ceremony in the sunshine of the old orchard at Green Gables, surrounded by the loving faces of long-familiar friends, the young doctor and his bride set off for the mist-shrouded shores of Four Winds Harbor.
The newlyweds settle in a quaint fishing village, where their snug home offers views of the sea from every window. The new setting provides a fresh opportunity for Anne to discover kindred spirits: lighthouse keeper Captain Jim, teller of enchanting tales; bitter-tongued but kind-hearted Miss Cornelia, who bears an enduring grudge against men and Methodists; fascinating Leslie Moore, trapped in a loveless marriage, who envies and admires Anne; and writer Owen Ford, who seeks inspiration for his great Canadian novel. Poignant, romantic, and brimming with old-fashioned charm, Anne's House of Dreams traces the beloved heroine's path to maturity.
