About this book
Anne's House of Dreams came out in 1917 and marks a real shift in the series. Anne and Gilbert get married in the opening chapters and move to Four Winds Harbour on the north shore of Prince Edward Island, where Gilbert sets up a country medical practice. The little white house by the sea, the house of dreams of the title, is one of Montgomery's most evocative settings. The book covers their first few years there.
The new neighbours are vivid. Captain Jim, the old lighthouse keeper, is one of the warmest characters Montgomery ever wrote. Miss Cornelia Bryant, who hates men on general principle and gets all the best lines. Leslie Moore, a beautiful young woman trapped in a marriage to a husband who has lost his memory after an accident. The book deals with loss in ways the earlier novels mostly avoided. Anne and Gilbert lose their first child. Captain Jim's death at the end is one of the most quietly devastating scenes Montgomery wrote. Underneath the gentle surface, this is a book about adult life beginning in earnest. A turning point in the series.
From the opening pages
“Thanks be, I’m done with geometry, learning or teaching it,” said Anne Shirley, a trifle vindictively, as she thumped a somewhat battered volume of Euclid into a big chest of books, banged the lid in triumph, and sat down upon it, looking at Diana Wright across the Green Gables garret, with gray eyes that were like a morning sky.
The garret was a shadowy, suggestive, delightful place, as all garrets should be. Through the open window, by which Anne sat, blew the sweet, scented, sun-warm air of the August afternoon; outside, poplar boughs rustled and tossed in the wind; beyond them were the woods, where Lover’s Lane wound its enchanted path, and the old apple orchard which still bore its rosy harvests munificently. And, over all, was a great mountain range of snowy clouds in the blue southern sky. Through the other window was glimpsed a distant, white-capped, blue sea—the beautiful St. Lawrence Gulf, on which floats, like a jewel, Abegweit, whose softer, sweeter Indian name has long been forsaken for the more prosaic one of Prince Edward Island.
Diana Wright, three years older than when we last saw her, had grown somewhat matronly in the intervening time. But her eyes were as black and brilliant, her cheeks as rosy, and her dimples as enchanting, as in the long-ago days when she and Anne Shirley had vowed eternal friendship in the garden at Orchard Slope. In her arms she held a small, sleeping, black-curled creature, who for two happy years had been known to the world of Avonlea as “Small Anne Cordelia.” Avonlea folks knew why Diana had called her Anne, of course, but Avonlea folks were puzzled by the Cordelia. There had never been a Cordelia in the Wright or Barry connections. Mrs. Harmon Andrews said she supposed Diana had found the name in some trashy novel, and wondered that Fred hadn’t more sense than to allow it. But Diana and Anne smiled at each other. They knew how Small Anne Cordelia had come by her name.
