[GrannyGrump]

Chronologically the third of the “Anne” books. Eighteen-year-old Anne Shirley leaves Green Gables and her work as a teacher in Avonlea to pursue her original dream (which she gave up in Anne of Green Gables) of taking further education at Redmond College in Nova Scotia. Some of her classmates are going with her, including her childhood enemy turned friend Gilbert Blythe, while others stay in Avonlea to work, get married, and start families. Over the next four years, she earns her B.A., shares a cozy house called Patty’s Place with friends, experiences romance, and ultimately realizes her love for Gilbert. The story focuses on the female relationships and emotional growth of the characters.
