Young Adult Montgomery, L. M.: Anne of Ingleside. v1. 20 Feb 2026

[GrannyGrump]

The grown-up life of Anne Shirley…

Here we see the transition of our protagonist to a rather less prominent role, as the focus shifts to the next generation in the town of Glen St. Mary. Anne Blythe, now a mother of five (soon to be six) children, manages the daily (often comedic) drama and “sweet married romance” in her busy household at Ingleside. The novel features a series of vignettes focusing on the imaginative, sometimes troublesome, adventures of her children, with a subplot wherein Anne worries that her marriage has lost its spark, only to be reassured of Gilbert’s love.
