Anne of Ingleside

De: L. M. Montgomery

Narrado por: Barbara Barnes

The mother of five, Anne never has a dull moment in her home, and, now with a new baby on the way and insufferable Aunt Mary Maria visiting - and wearing out her welcome - her life is full to bursting. Still, Mrs. Doctor can't think of any place she'd rather be than her own beloved Ingleside - that is, until the day she begins to worry that her adored Gilbert doesn't love her anymore. But how could that be?

She may be a little older, but she's still the same irrepressible, irreplaceable redhead - the wonderful Anne of Green Gables, all grown up and ready to make her cherished husband fall in love with her all over again!

Matured storytelling

Although I love Montgomery's first book, Anne of Green Gables, there is something deeper and more mature to the stories she tells of Anne's children. Perhaps it's because I am currently a mother and wife, but this book in the series really touched my heart.

Bought audible version narrated by Barbara Barnes. Very enjoyable!

I really enjoyed this story. I tend to listen to Audible books when I do work or drive. Got spoiled with Mary Sarah’s reading of Anne of Green Gables, which made it a little hard to listen to other narrators of the series- but this narrator did a splendid job, in keeping with Anne’s personality and demeanor. Well done.

Loved it!

I love this recording. The reader captures all the characters very well. I'm just so glad I have listened to these and wished I read them as a girl.

good story to almost end a saga

another wonderful well-written book by L M Montgomery. maybe not my favorite narrator but it wasn't too bad her voice is for the different characters just were not very distinguishable so you didn't always realize who was saying what.

A classic for children and adults

I have loved Anne of Green Gables and all the other books in the series since I was a kid. I have reread them over and over, and it is a real pleasure to be able to listen to a good reading of them.

Very well done!

I love this series! I enjoyed very much listening to it , the narrator do a very good job. 😃

The adult Anne is still enticing!

The story of Anne mothering her children so lovingly is the perfect next book in the series.

I Miss Barbara Caruso Reading to Me

I was so excited to see that the gap in the audio versions of the Anne series had been filled. These books have been a favorite of mine for many years. Imagine my disappointment when the audio sounded tinny and the reader really didn’t sound experienced. She paused in the wrong spots, no distinguishing voices and mispronounced names (Annie for Anne and not when the irritating aunt was calling her Annie! It happened when Anne was thinking to herself. It was just the slip of reading the “e” and not noticing-kind of a big deal in Anne’s world). She just seemed inexperienced. What a bummer. Hopefully it will be done again someday with a really solid reader. I miss the rich, flexible voice of Barbara Caruso. She was such an awesome narrator for these books.

Great book

Very nice book I love it I recommend Anne is so caring and kind and I love the little story's that are mixed in.

Anne continued

Anne of Ingleside is usually only read by the most devoted Green Gables readers for a reason: it's more about the adventures of Anne's children than of Anne herself. While 90% absolutly charming, there is a good 6% that is terribly dull and a lingering 4% vain of sadness and bitterness that krept into literature during WW1 and WW2 ...which could be indicative of the time it was written or perhaps even LMMs own sadness and disillusionment. Crippling this audio version is the narration. The narrator often sounds like she never rehearsed and read the words cold with one go through. The ends of sentences are often choked from lack of breath or given the wrong inflection. It's read with such disconnected blandness that it's truly difficult to crawl through at times. The few attempts at levity, voice modulation, or accents come across as pained and unnatural. I honestly wanted to cry at times. This is truly a great little book for Green Gables fans - but I have a feeling very few will make it to the end of this recording. o
