A review by literarialuminaria
Anne of the Island by L.M. Montgomery

4.0

"I do know my own mind," "The trouble is, my mind changes and then I have to get acquainted with it all over again." - Anne Shirley

Book 3 of the beloved Anne of Green Gables series, "Anne of the Island" continues to delight and captivate readers. Set in Nova Scotia, Canada in the early 1900s, Montgomery's writing and descriptions are just as beautiful and immersive as always. In this installment, we follow Anne Shirley as she embarks on a new chapter in her life, leaving Avonlea to pursue her higher education at Redmond College. She is growing up, and readers witness her maturing while still maintaining her distinctive charm, humor, and imagination. The introduction of new characters and the exploration of Anne's romantic pursuits add depth to the story, and you can't help but become emotionally invested in her journey to find love and happiness. I adore Anne + Gilbert. There's a perfect balance of heartwarming moments and life's complexities, and it leaves you with a wonderful sense of nostalgia.
