What this book is about
Anne Shirley heads to Redmond College, where she earns her BA, receives proposals from multiple suitors (including the persistent Roy Gardner), and gradually—and stubbornly—refuses to acknowledge what Gilbert Blythe means to her. Montgomery's third Anne book handles the college years with warmth and some genuine emotional stakes, though the romantic resolution is inevitable from page one. The college friendships, particularly with Philippa Gordon, are among the series' most delightful additions.
