A small white house by the sea holds Anne’s dreams—but making a home takes more than hope.
In Anne's House of Dreams, L. M. Montgomery follows Anne Shirley from Green Gables into married life. After an orchard wedding, Anne leaves Avonlea with Gilbert Blythe. Their new home waits at Four Winds Harbour, where Gilbert begins his work as a doctor and Anne hopes to find friendship.

In short
Anne Shirley puts her battered geometry book into a chest in the Green Gables attic, slams the lid, and sits down, declaring herself finished with learning or teaching geometry. Why is she so pleased?
From the 15-minute summary · Key idea 1
Anne marries Gilbert and leaves Green Gables
The book opens with a goodbye that is also a beginning. In the attic at Green Gables, Anne tells her friend Diana that she is finished with teaching. Gilbert will take over the practice of old Doctor Dave at Four Winds Harbor, and the young couple will live there.
Green Gables hums with preparations. Marilla gives Anne the braided rugs she made over many winters, and Mrs. Rachel Lynde sets aside cotton bedspreads. Two visiting neighbors prick at Anne's joy with remarks about her age and her red hair. The sting fades when Gilbert tells her he has rented a little white house on the harbor shore, and Anne declares it her house of dreams.

What is Anne's House of Dreams about?
It follows Anne Shirley from her wedding to Gilbert Blythe through her first years of marriage at Four Winds Harbor, where she meets Captain Jim, Miss Cornelia and Leslie Moore and learns how joy and sorrow share a home.
Do I need to read the earlier Anne books first?
The story stands on its own, with the wedding and the new setting clearly introduced. Earlier Anne books add extra pleasure through familiar names like Marilla, Diana and Mrs. Rachel Lynde, but you can follow everything here without them.
What does the house of dreams mean in the book?
It is Anne's name for the little white house on the harbor shore where she and Gilbert start their married life. It stands for love, memory and the hope that a home can hold both happiness and loss.
