Beschreibung

The fifth book in the Anne Shirley series.

'They belonged to each other; and, no matter what life might hold for them, it could never alter that. Their happiness was in each other's keeping and both were unafraid'

There has never been a wedding at Green Gables - that is, until now. In the old orchard, on a perfect sunny day, surrounded by their dearest friends, Anne Shirley and Gilbert Blythe are married at last.

The couple begin their new life together far from Avonlea, at Four Winds Harbour, where Gilbert has found the perfect home - a little white house on the shore, overlooking the sea. Before long, they have made new friends: Captain Jim, the lighthouse keeper; indomitable Miss Cornelia Bryant, who always speaks her mind; the writer Owen Ford; and beautiful Leslie Moore, whose sad life has led her to bitterness. When Anne and Gilbert face their own tragedy, they will need all their courage, and the support of their friends, to help them through.

⭐️⭐️✨️ Triggerwarnung: Verlust eines Kindes

Ich bin echt enttäuscht. Das Buch fängt an wie ein schöner Neuanfang für Anne und Gilbert, aber irgendwie wird es schnell schwer und traurig. Anne verliert total ihren Charakter. Sie ist nicht mehr die starke, träumerische Anne von früher, sondern wirkt wie eine Nebenfigur in ihrem eigenen Leben. Statt ihrer Geschichte geht es plötzlich um nervige Nachbarinnen, tragische Nebenfiguren und den Verlust ihres Kindes. Trotzdem wird alles so distanziert erzählt, dass man kaum Mitgefühl aufbauen kann. Und Gilbert? Absolut farblos. Die Beziehung zwischen den beiden fühlt sich kalt und oberflächlich an. Die Sprache ist zwar stellenweise noch schön, aber die Magie der ersten Bände ist einfach verschwunden. Es fühlt sich nicht mehr nach Anne an. Eher wie eine Geschichte, die versucht, sie in ein altes Frauenbild zu pressen. Und das tut beim Lesen wirklich weh.

The ableism against Dick Moore is really shocking. Calling him a big baby, always mentioning "how terrible it is for Leslie that she has to nurse this big useless baby" and all this is really problematic, but for the book was published in 1922 I thought "well, that's how it was back then" and was willing to give 3 stars. But after the chapter "Gilbert and Anne disagree" I was mad, I tell you that!! But again, I know that's how it was back then, still that doesn't mean I have to enjoy it.Also, <spoiler> it was so confusing that Anne was pregnant and we only know that because of three vague sentences and then she gets the baby, it dies and Anne griefs only two pages long before it is rarely mentioned again </spoiler>
