Emily Starr has never known what it is to be unloved. But when her father dies, she is left in the care of her mother's family. Emily is a stranger to the proud Murrays, none of whom think they can cope with such a heartbroken, headstrong girl. They decide to draw lots for her, and Emily is sent to live at New Moon with stern Aunt Elizabeth, the head of the clan. Kind Aunt Laura and friendly, eccentric Cousin Jimmy also live at New Moon, though, so she is not without hope. Emily is enchanted by New Moon, but cannot believe she will ever belong there. With her lively imagination and dreams of being a famous writer, she seems to have a talent for scandalising her family. Before long, though, she has made firm friends: Ilse, a tomboy with a blazing temper, Teddy, an aspiring artist, and Perry, the ambitious houseboy. She brings so much life to New Moon, perhaps one day even Aunt Elizabeth will consider herself lucky to have 'won' Emily.

Se trata de una historia ambientada en la canadiense isla del príncipe Eduardo, a finales del Siglo XIX. Nos cuenta la vida de Anne Shirley, una jovencita huérfana que a los once años es adoptada por error por dos hermanos de avanzada edad. La chica comenzará una nueva etapa en la aldea de Avonlea. Allí conocerá a personas con las que estrechará vínculos afectivos para que a pesar de las diferencias se conviertan, finalmente, en seres muy importantes para su vida. La historia se compone de varios libros en los que vamos viendo un desarrollo cronológico de la vida de Anne: crecer, estudiar en la Universidad, ejercer como profesora, casarse y formar una familia. El interés narrativo gira entonces hacia los pasajes más representativos de la vida de sus hijas. Esta es una novela con corte juvenil. Emocionante y entretenida.

Anne's children were almost grown up, except for pretty, high-spirited Rilla. No one could resist her bright hazel eyes and dazzling smile. Rilla, almost fifteen, can't think any further ahead than going to her very first dance at the Four Winds lighthouse and getting her first kiss from handsome Kenneth Ford. But undreamed-of challenges await the irrepressible Rilla when the world of Ingleside becomes endangered by a far-off war. Her brothers go off to fight, and Rilla brings home an orphaned newborn in a soup tureen. She is swept into a drama that tests her courage and leaves her changed forever.
