Over dit boek
When elderly siblings Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert request a boy from a Nova Scotia orphan asylum to help on their Prince Edward Island farm, they receive instead Anne Shirley: a freckle-faced, red-haired eleven-year-old with an unstoppable imagination and a bottomless hunger for love and beauty. What begins as a mistake becomes a profound act of grace. Anne's years at Green Gables take her from a lonely, unwanted child to a young woman of academic achievement and deep character—navigating friendship, rivalry, heartbreak, and loss along the way. L.M. Montgomery's beloved 1908 novel is a warm, ironic, and deeply moving portrait of a girl who refuses to let the world diminish her, and of the quiet people whose lives she quietly transforms.
