Anne of the Island

About this book

Between parting adolescence's thresholds and awaited youth's vigor, "Anne Shirley" stands at a crossroads she never knew. The harvest era at "Green Gables" has ended, and the time has come to depart the "Avonlea" fields preserving her laughter's echo and first adventures' resonance. In this enchanting part, Anne goes not merely to study sciences at "Redmond" University, but to discover the soul's core, and the meaning of being a stranger seeking "home" in new faces and unknown roads. The tale's tone progresses from beginnings' mystery in ancient "Kingsport," where houses haunted by tales and three mysterious cats dwell, to success radiance and human situations polishing the heart. Here old friendship threads tangle with newborn feelings Anne strives hard to classify; are they mere fellowship, or do "Gilbert Blythe's" glances carry promises bigger than her hesitant heart can bear? This book is no mere biography of an ambitious girl, but an inspirational journey for every soul yearning to transcend its familiar bounds.
