Anne's House of Dreams, the fifth installment in L. M. Montgomery's Anne sequence (1917), follows Anne Shirley's early married life with Gilbert Blythe in the sea-washed community of Four Winds. With luminous, ironic prose and an episodic design, Montgomery interweaves domestic comedy and elegy: Miss Cornelia's tart wit, Captain Jim's "life-book," and the tragic entanglement of Leslie Moore frame Anne's creation of a home. The novel's maritime local color and chorused storytelling place it within Edwardian domestic realism, yet its meditation on grief and women's agency anticipates modern sensibilities. Montgomery, a Prince Edward Island native raised by grandparents after early maternal loss, wrote this book shortly after her own marriage and move to rural Ontario as a minister's wife. Composing during the First World War and after the stillbirth of a child, she transformed private sorrow and keen social observation-preserved in her journals-into a mature exploration of community, memory, and endurance. Recommended to readers of classic fiction and to scholars of women's writing, Anne's House of Dreams offers a poised study of how joy and bereavement can coexist within ordinary life. Newcomers can begin here, but those who know Anne's earlier girlhood will find the emotional textures especially resonant.
