As you likely know, Anne Shirley is one of The Enchanted Book Club’s favorite heroines! In August 2023, we delighted in the continuation of Anne’s story with Anne of Avonlea. We hosted a fascinating discussion with Liz Rosenberg, author of House of Dreams: The Life of L.M. Montgomery, and shared our favorite Anne editions amongst book club members on Zoom. Find Anne of Avonlea discussion questions below!
Discussion Questions:
