Anne of the Island (version 2)

Anne Shirley is seventeen and finally leaving Green Gables for the great adventure of college. At Redmond College, she trades the rolling hills of Avonlea for boarding house rooms, new roommates, and lectures on Shakespeare. But some things travel with her: her irreplaceable imagination, her habit of talking to the moon, and Gilbert Blythe, now a fellow student with a familiar smile that catches her off guard. Over three years, Anne grows from a dreamy girl into a young woman navigating heartbreak, ambition, and the complicated terrain of the heart. She makes dear new friends, including the spirited Philippa, and discovers that independence is both exhilarating and lonely. This is the book where Anne becomes herself, gathering the wings she'll need for the life ahead, all while readers hold their breath, waiting for two certain people to finally see what was always there.
