Throughout her time at Redmond College, Kingsport, Anne grapples with her aspirations of becoming a writer, faces the complexities of love, and cares for a dying friend. As Anne immerses herself in college life, she stays connected to her beloved Avonlea through heartfelt letters and visits home. Discovering more about herself and her island, it seems as though Anne is drifting apart from her dear childhood friend, Gilbert Blythe. Will she be able to truly recognise the bond they share?
Originally published in 1915, this novel beautifully captures Anne's experiences as she navigates the challenges and triumphs of young adulthood. This edition is republished with a brand-new introductory biography of Lucy Maud Montgomery.
