Anne Shirley has left Redmond College behind to begin a new job and a new chapter of her life away from Green Gables. Now she faces a new challenge: the Pringles. They're known as the royal family of Summerside--and they quickly let Anne know she is not the person they had wanted as principal of Summerside High School. But as she settles into the cozy tower room at Windy Poplars, Anne finds she has great allies in the widows Aunt Kate and Aunt Chatty and in their irrepressible housekeeper, Rebecca Dew. As Anne learns Summerside's strangest secrets, winning the support of the prickly Pringles becomes only the first of her delicious triumphs.

Even if you like Anne, worth giving this one a miss. It’s not that cheery a story, and the narrator absolutely ruins any flow to the point that it’s hard to understand what’s going on.

Narration is atrocious

Not the greatest reader, the intonation was quite odd at times but the story, as always with the Anne series are just delightful.

Reader had great diction and was easy to understand

The reader is not great, but you get used to it… it’s the only way to listen to this book in England on Audible that I have found and I’m grateful that there is an option .

Reader is not good, but the story is

This is the 4th in the Anne series and although not the best of them it should be an enjoyable read. It was when I read it as a physical book in the past.
However it is really spoiled by the narration! The narrator’s voice is not quite right or natural - the intonation is wrong, there’s an overemphasis almost of suspense and the tone of voice makes it very dreary. Even funny sections didn’t come over as such. The only positive was that I could hear every word - but it was very difficult to know who was speaking.
This is such a shame as its the only version available of this book! Please Audible add a better version.

The narration was so awful I would have given up on it had I not been following the whole Greeen Gables series! Story not as good as the previous books.

absolutely dreadful narration
