Through letters, Anne tells Gilbert Blythe about her new job as principal at Summerside High and her dealings with the town's leading family, the Pringles.
As I mentioned in previous reviews, I'm finding that I enjoy these books a bit more now that I'm older. L.M. Montgomery is wonderful with her description of the quirky characters, yet always keeps Anne's positive side and gentle amusement shining through.
I felt this book took quite the turn from the previous. Yes, Anne is more grown up now, I get it. But I'll be honest, I found the constant snippets from letters to Gilbert a little annoying. I shall love Anne and Gilbert forever, but the letters kept disrupting the narrative and pulling me out. As a result this book took far longer to finish than the others, even though it's actually shorter. I couldn't sink into it in quite the same way.
