[DeepL Translation - needs review] A young girl, Anne, grows up to be loved on beautiful Prince Edward Island. This is the first full-text translation in Japan of this masterpiece full of happiness.
The translation is true to Montgomery's original story, including the raspberry water and blackcurrant wine at the tea party, Anne's folk costumes, and Matthew's mother from Scotland, all translated in full, lush, dreamy sentences.
The endnotes provide detailed explanations of English literature,...
Lots of old-ish language, lots of flower names. I sure learned a lot, but not a lot of modern daily-use language, so only 4 stars on that front. It's interesting to see how certain phrases got translated as well.
Translation felt top notch.
I enjoyed the writing but sometimes I struggled a bit with the slow pacing of a chapter. This book was one I had to be in the right mood for.
