    About this ebook

    Anne of the Island is the third book in the Anne of Green Gables series, written by Lucy Maud Montgomery about Anne Shirley.
    Anne of the Island was published in 1915, seven years after the bestselling Anne of Green Gables. In the continuing story of Anne Shirley, Anne attends Redmond College in Kingsport, where she is studying for her BA.

    The title of the book reflects the development of Anne. While studying away from Prince Edward Island and in particular when visiting the place of her birth, she finds herself identifying the Island as her true home. Several times, she denies being a 'Blue Nose', as those born in Nova Scotia were nicknamed, considering herself an Islander to the core.

    L.M. Montgomery

    L. M. (Lucy Maud) Montgomery (1874-1942) was a Canadian author who published 20 novels and hundreds of short stories, poems, and essays. She is best known for the Anne of Green Gables series. Montgomery was born in Clifton (now New London) on Prince Edward Island on November 30, 1874. Raised by her maternal grandparents, she grew up in relative isolation and loneliness, developing her creativity with imaginary friends and dreaming of becoming a published writer. Her first book, Anne of Green Gables, was published in 1908 and was an immediate success, establishing Montgomery's career as a writer, which she continued for the remainder of her life.

      A country girl goes to college.2.5/4 (Okay).It's pretty good when it focuses on the plot. It rarely does, though. And there's a new character, Phil, that I like enough that I'm almost tempted to keep reading the series. Almost. Being somewhat bored for three books is enough Montgomery for me, at least for a long while.
    • 4/5
      The third book in the "Anne of Green Gables" series sees Anne leave Avonlea and start life at Richmond College where new friends are made and more challenges faced. I loved the introduction of Philippa Gordon, who ends up sharing a house with Anne. She was so much fun with her quirky, loveable nature and incapability to make any firm decision.I have always been a big fan of Anne and Gilbert, although this time I could have screamed in frustration at Anne's inability to see how much Gilbert loved her until right at the end. However, thankfully, she came to her senses before it was too late.As for Ruby, I had forgotten what happened to her, and Montgomery wrote of her passing with such beauty and gentleness, it brought tears to my eyes. Now it's onto the next book.

      Note: While this is Book 3 in the series it works just fine as a stand alone.Anne Shirley is growing up and now in her late teens, she has the opportunity to go to college. Set in 1915, Redmond College in Nova Scotia, Canada is the nearest and best choice for her. Her dear friend Priscilla Grant also enrolls. Gilbert Blythe and Charlie Sloane, childhood friends, are returning for their second year of education. While there, Anne meets Philippa (Phil) Gordon who she becomes good friends with despite Phil’s honest vanity.I missed these classics when I was kid but I have enjoyed the trilogy as an adult. Book 1 is still my favorite as I feel Anne has the most imagination and the silliest accidents in that book. Now that she’s an adult, she still has much to learn but she doesn’t have as much imagination nor does she have so many simple mistakes and accidents. No, her blunders are fewer but also are more serious, especially in matters of the heart.Much of this book had to do with romance. Sigh. It seems that all the young people go off to college to find a spouse and if they happen to get a degree along the way, so much the better for it. While the ladies have some depth to them in this tale, the men are pretty much just stick figures. Even poor Gilbert Blythe has little to do with the tale. We learn so little about him that I as the reader could project any traits I like onto him to make him the perfect match for Anne. So I would have liked less romance and more details about the characters.With that said, the ladies have their hands full learning how to manage their lives away from home. Anne discovers that she does have a soft spot for cats after all. While Phil usually lacks a filter between brain and mouth, I did find her honesty about everything, including her own faults, to be amusing. One of the ladies gets a Math degree which I thought was great considering the date this was set in and published. (Though we rarely see any of the ladies doing anything related to their studies, since they spend so much time gossiping about the men).The most touching scene for me was when Anne returned to her birthplace. Phil happens to be from there and she invites Anne to come visit during one of their breaks from college. Anne has long wondered about her parents. Going to Bolingbroke held a lot of importance for Anne.After much drama about Anne’s love life, the story wraps up rather quickly. Things are tied up neatly and with a happy ending.I received a free copy of this book. Narration: Colleen Winton once again makes a great Anne. I like how she manages to make Anne sound a little older with each book while also managing to make her be distinctly Anne. Her male voices were also spot on as well as her elderly voices. Anne has a range of serious emotions in this book and Winton did great in capturing them with all their nuances.
    • 4/5
      Anne leaves her home and teaching job in Avonlea to pursue the college degree and scholarship she gave up to take care of Marilla.
    • 5/5
      Anne's tale continues with her 4 years at a university in Nova Scotia, with summers and holidays on PEI. A few of her chums from PEI are also at school with her, plus she meets new friends, bids goodbye to a childhood classmate who dies of consumption, almost gets engaged, rejects Gilbert's (and two other) proposals, and in the end is back in Avonlea, a graduate, and finally realizes that she's in love with Gilbert.
    • 3/5
      I like this one in the series as well. Although, I will say, I kinda like the Kevin Sullivan version better...
    • 1/5
      When I first joined GoodReads, I went through and marked a lot of childhood favorites with the number of stars I remembered them earning from me. I reflexively marked all the Anne books with lots of stars. I've long had a soft spot for Anne, and I know I read this series several times as a kid. Had you asked me last month, I would have professed to loving the entire series. Then I embarked on a project to revisit them, and oh how sorry I am that I did. The first book was a delight. The second, not so much. And now this one.

      It is with a heavy heart that I confess to loathing this book this time through. I can't stand the verbal quirks Montgomery assigns, especially to Davy "I want to know" and Mrs. Rachel "That's what". I hate the simplistic and treacly Christianity. The scene where Anne tells the dying Ruby what Heaven is like honestly made me queasy. The prose is positively purple throughout.

      I can't believe I'm saying this, but I hate this book. A lot.
    • 4/5
      audiobook - This, the 3rd book in the Anne of Green Gables series, had a different narrator whom I liked better. She made Anne sound more adult (which, obviously, she is) and she was really good at the different voices. It was probably my favorite Anne book so far; I like that Anne isn't nearly as whiny and annoying as she was in the previous books. The whole Roy vs. Gilbert thing didn't really move me, but that might be due to cultural/language differences between Anne's time and mine.
    • 5/5
      L.M. Montgomery's irrepressible red-headed heroine, Anne Shirley - she of the high ideals, fiery temper, and elfin beauty - returns in this third volume devoted to her adventures, first published in 1915, and following upon the initial Anne of Green Gables (1908), and its first sequel, Anne of Avonlea (1909). Picking up one week after the events of the preceding book, Anne of the Island is the story of Anne's four years at Redmond College, and follows her as she leaves the island - Prince Edward Island, that is - for the fictional town of Kingsport, Nova Scotia. Here she plunges into the labor and leisure of the college experience - her studies, in which (predictably) she excels in English; her friends, both old and new; her living situation, first in a boarding house, and then in the delightful Patty's Place; and finally, her first serious "beaus" (and proposals!) - emerging, in the end, transformed from girl to woman.I have always loved this book, enjoying everything from the love-triangle involving Anne, Gilbert Blythe and Royal Gardner, to the many little holiday and summer interludes, in which Anne returns to Avonlea, and to her circle of family and friends at Green Gables. The doings of those four college girls - Priscilla Grant and Stella Maynard, two of Anne's old school chums from Queens; Philippa Gordon, a flighty but lovable rich girl whom the others meet for the first time at Redmond; and Anne herself - who take up residence together, make for an engaging story (I particularly adore the three cats!), and I cannot think of Patty's Place without wishing that I too had had the experience of living in such a house, while in college!Of course, this being L.M. Montgomery, it isn't all sweetness and light, and the early death of Ruby Gillis - one of Anne's grade-school chums - from consumption, provides a poignant counter-balance to the more carefree aspects of the story. While there's no doubt that this particular part of the novel functions as a cautionary tale - so much so, that a number of other reviewers have found it offensively preachy - I have always been moved by Anne's genuine struggle, in her discussion with Ruby, to articulate her own inchoate beliefs about the metaphysical. This balancing of the inner and outer life - of the everyday and the eternal - is something I always find particularly well done, in Montgomery's work, and in her characters.All in all, Anne of the Island was as delightful on this reread (hard to say how many times it's been), as the first time I encountered it! I think I may reread the next "Anne" book - Anne of Windy Poplars - sooner, rather than later.
    • 3/5
      This is a good love story. We get to see Anne grow up and finally be honest with herself.
    • 4/5
      By this, the third book of the series, Anne is a young woman and after working for a couple of years as a teacher, she has saved enough money to go to University in Nova Scotia. Some of her friends are also enrolling at Redmond, and she makes new friends as well. By the second year, tired of boarding houses, there are four girls who decided to rent their own house and together with the elderly Aunt Jimsie, as a chaperone, they set up house for the remaining three years. Friday nights are designated as the evening for receiving gentlemen callers and these attractive girls have plenty of those. Gilbert Blythe is a regular and it is very obvious to everyone that he has deep feelings for Anne. Anne who is very fond of her childhood chum, dreads having to hurt him, As Anne leaves girlhood behind and matures into a young woman, there is little trace of the orphan girl that was. Anne has become serene, sensible and very steady in purpose. In one area however, she seems to lag behind her friends and as she attends one wedding after another, she appears to not be able to see the love that is right in front of her, instead she is still holding out for that elusive Prince Charming that she imagined as a young girl. It takes a dark time and an almost tragedy for Anne to be able to understand where her heart is leading her.I am loving my re-reading of this series, and have come to love Anne as much now as I did when a girl.
    • 3/5
      Some laugh out loud moments, some moments were it seemed a little to happy-go-lucky. Over all, fairly successful for a third book in a series.

      I think what knocked that fourth star off for me was the chick flick ending sort of thing. I knew it was coming, but it just didn't end the story in a very creative way. Other then that this book was rather timely for me, as I am just completing my senior year of university. Going to a conservative Christian University I could still relate to it pretty well, especially the idea of all your friends getting married off and having babies and such. I think the first book will always be my favorite though.
    • 5/5
      Bitter must be mixed with sweet as life goes on, and goes on changing, but in going on for Anne, "with the blowing of the west wind old dreams returned," making it all worth it. A number of points made me sigh, as well as laugh; I literally laughed aloud during Anne's First Proposal. Goodness, Montgomery was a genius.
    • 5/5
      This is one of my favorite volumes of the Anne series. I think I enjoy it for the romance, the friendships, and the number of proposals Anne racks up even if several are not very complimentary. Update: Well, the end is a little mushier than I remembered with Anne and Gilbert walking together and building their fantasy life while talking together as no real people ever would. The proposal from the hired boy completely makes up for it though!

      Listened to Blackstone Audio's CD edition narrated by Susan O'Malley. I don't think O'Malley's great so far, she doesn't do a very good job of differentiating among the girls' voices, but I like her better than Barbara Caruso - at least she pronounces Avonlea like a normal person and Davy's voice is much better in this one. After finishing, I'd say O'Malley does a competant job.

      Previously read many times.
    • 4/5
      All the usual adjectives apply -- charming, sweet, touching, etc, etc. And oh, how my heart stopped at some moments. And the end is just lovely.
    • 3/5
      It took me quite a long time to read this book, even though it's reasonably short. I think that's because I wasn't enjoying it as much as I thought I would. I really loved the first two books in the series, but this one sort of fell flat for me.It is beautifully written, but I was getting bored of all the descriptions and stuff when the story was going nowhere. I also found a couple of the characters really annoying (Especially Phil, ugh).
    • 4/5
      Anne of Avonlea was one of my childhood favorites. The series follows Anne on her many escapades, through funny and memorable adventures alike. Anne has every stubborn and quirky quality found in any girl...and her love of life is contagious. When I think of these books I am transported to a field of green and a warm summer wind.
    • 4/5
      anne is a little too goodie-goodie. and why doesn't she want gilbert?. didn't like the reader. she gushes. the story is already gushy. a little tone-down would have been better.
    • 5/5
      This is probably my favorite of the series because it's got the most romance. :) Sometimes I will skip Anne of Avonlea and just go straight from the first one to this one.
    • 5/5
      Anne of the Island is one of my favorite stories in the series. Anne always seemed to be at just the right age, with just the the right amount of romance left in her. Part of the appeal may be the resolution of the romance that any reader would have inferred as "meant to be" from early on in Anne of Green Gables. The whole series is a joy and this one ranks among m favorites.
    • 4/5
      Two drawbacks (as with the other books): whole paragraphs devoted to describing the scenery using unreadable, too-flowery language; and absolutely no details about many, many things (e.g., four years of college go by in this book!). One big upside: what a sweet last chapter, when Anne finally realizes how dumb she was to turn down Gilbert the first time and then he asks again. It's what we waited through three books for!
    • 5/5
      This book sees Anne leave PE Island for not-so-distant Kingsport to attend college.Though she is accompanied to her new college by the likes of childhood friend/sweetheart Gilbert Blythe and the prissy Priscilla "Prissy" Grant she finds the new environment strange. But Anne is nothing if not up for a challenge and she finds that as her life grows and her experiences expand that Gilbert isn't the only boy interested in her, and that life doesn't have to be as sleep as PE Island.
    • 4/5
      I like this book better than some of the other Anne books because it takes on more of an ensemble character, and because it appears to be more autobiographical, parallelling events in Montgomery's own life. She gets some mileage out of contrasting the social spaces of Avonlea, where some people can't conceive of Anne going to college and others come around to change their opinion of women being educated, and Redmond, where in spite of the intellectual focus, Anne is able to continue to find her "kindred spirits." Taking Anne more extendedly away from Avonlea also permits her to grow up more and to change her perspective on things, something anyone who has been through college can relate to. The unexpected death of a character also provides a very poignant philosophical episode that resonates with truth. The book is still a bit overly concerned with romantic ideals and flights of fancy, but Anne is starting to grow out of that a little more, and this book feels just that much stronger for it.
    • 4/5
      Usually I like this one pretty well but it just fell really flat for me this time. Maybe because the older I get, the more distance I feel from the lighthearted college life depicted in this book. I've "grown up" with Anne Shirley -- when I discovered her books I was the same age as Anne when she arrived at Green Gables, and I've read them over and over through the years, getting older (necessarily) as I went, passing up Anne as a teenager and then Anne as a college student and then Anne as a working woman and then Anne as a young wife and new mother, until now I'm more in a Rainbow Valley sort of stage. And that's kind of depressing -- because Rainbow Valley is where Anne pretty much completely disappears.Oh, wait a minute. This was a review for Anne of the Island, wasn't it. Sigh. Um, OK. Less Philippa next time please, Maud.
    • 5/5
      Each Anne book is just so amazing. I love how Ms. Montgomery tailors the writing a little more grown up as Anne gets more grown up. Fun characters, witty dialogue and a fun storyline.
    • 5/5
      This book makes me frustrated with Anne - she lets her imagination run away with herself and makes a muddle of her life. Things I like about this book - the delightful picture of Patty's Place - I wish I had lived somewhere like this when I was going to college! The way in which Anne finally has her eyes opened and the way the resolution of Anne's romantic life somehow resolves Marilla's too in a sort of karmic way. The comedic moments that still find their way into Anne's life, despite the fact that she is more adult than child now.
    • 5/5
      My favorite Anne book so far! Probably because this book had the most of the dashing Gilbert in it...heheh. Oh, and I liked Anne's cat too.
    • 5/5
      Anne of the Island is book 3 in L.M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables series. It is a continuation of the story of Anne Shirley as she goes away to school at Redmond College in Kingsport. Some of Anne's old chums from Avonlea are also at Redmond - Charlie Sloane and Gilbert Blythe, but Montgomery also introduces new and interesting characters. L.M. Montgomery certainly has a way with characters! She writes people that are really believable. These are people you will wish were in your life - as you follow them on their journey, they become your friends as well.Anne of the Island is the book that finally sees some serious development in the Gilbert/Anne dynamic, and for this reason it seems to be the favorite of the series for a lot of Montgomery fans. While I enjoyed the story just as much as the previous two books, I wouldn't say it would be my favorite - my heart will always belong to the little orphan girl from Anne of Green Gables. She becomes a remarkable young woman over the course of the years, but some of my favorite Anne-escapades take place in the first book.As always, L.M. Montgomery is a master of the literary form. Her descriptions are well-formed and breathtaking in their scope - not a single word could be omitted:"The sea was roaring hollowly in the distance, the fields were bare and sere, scarfed with golden rod, the brook valley below Green Gables overflowed with asters of ethereal purple, and The Lake of Shining Waters was blue-blue-blue; not the changeful blue of spring, nor the pale azure of summer, but a clear, steadfast, serene blue, as if the water were past all moods and tenses of emotion and had settled down to a tranquility unbroken by fickle dreams."Isn't that fantastic!? Drink in the beauty...These are wonderful books for all ages and there is a little something for everyone here: adventure, romance, drama, suspense, and comedy. If you give Anne a chance, you'll have a bosom friend for life!
    • 4/5
      This part of Anne's story follows her from just before entering college until just after her graduation. This third installment follows the tenor of the whole series. The narrative focuses quite a bit on description, both of the natural surroundings and of Anne's feelings, and it tells the stories of those whole lives touch Anne's. In general, it is a gentle tale, with some few trials and tribulations, and some sad parts, but overall life for Anne is very determined and grand, even if just through her determination and perspective.
