Commentary Supposing Books Anne of Windy Poplars (Anne of Green Gables #4)
Anne Shirley has left Redmond College behind to begin a new job and a new chapter of her life away from Green Gables. Now she faces a new challenge: the Pringles. They're known as the royal family of Summerside--and they quickly let Anne know she is not the person they had wanted as principal of Summerside High School. But as she settles into the cozy tower room at Windy Poplars, Anne finds she has great allies in the widows Aunt Kate and Aunt Chatty--and in their irrepressible housekeeper, Rebecca Dew. As Anne learns Summerside's strangest secrets, winning the support of the prickly Pringles becomes only the first of her delicious triumphs.List Books In Pursuance Of Anne of Windy Poplars (Anne of Green Gables #4)

After reading Anne of the Island, my favorite book in the Anne series, Anne of Windy Poplars always seems to fall a little flat for me.Anne and Gilbert are engaged and while Gilbert is off at medical school, Anne has taken a job as principal at Summerside High School.Much of this book is made up of letters from Anne to Gilbert. I just wish there was more of Gilbert in this story like maybe some of his letters to Anne. L.M. Montgomery rarely wrote much from the hero's side in her books, somethingAs much as I love L.M. Montgomery, Anne Shirley, and creative storytelling, I struggled with this book a bit. The format was very different, seeing almost half of it is told in Anne's letters to Gilbert. Now, I'm not necessarily opposed to characters rehashing events for the reader (Tolkien does it brilliantly with Legolas in Return of the King), but it has to be done right. There has to be a good reason to hear the story from the character. I didn't feel like Anne telling these stories to
This one definitely isn't my favorite out of the series. It IS quite amusing, but most interesting when it's read the first time.
I loved this one. I think at the beginning I was a little skeptical, especially since Montgomery kept omitting the parts where Anne "had the right pen" to write love letters to Gilbert. I wanted to READ Anne's love letters!But for all that, I loved the characters in this book. Rebecca Dew cracked me up, as did Aunt Kate and Aunt Chatty, with their buttermilk secrets; Dusty Miller the cat; Katherine Brooke; Nora Nelson and Jim Wilcox; little Elizabeth; Cyrus Taylor (oh, but that was a hilarious
I just adore Anne in this installment of the series. She has grown up substantially but still retains her "Anne-ness." She still gets into a bit of trouble every now and then, and she has a lovely way with words, but she's a bit less dramatic and a bit more aware of her own faults.I also enjoyed that parts of the story are told through letters from Anne to Gilbert. I love epistolary style stories, so that aspect really appeals to me. It would have been neat to see a letter from Gilbert to her,
Not to be dramatic, but me not loving this book is the saddest worst thing that has ever happened to me or anyone, ever, in the history of the world. Also the most surprising.Yes, I may have an average rating of 2.95, and yes, I may be well used to being disappointed in life, and yes, maybe this is actually not a very sad or bad thing at all, let alone in the context of the history of human suffering.But if I admitted that, Id have to rewrite the opening of this review, and that, my dear, is
~4.5 stars~I wasnt too sure about how I would like this book once I realized that most of it was just Annes letters to GilbertBut I was pleasantly surprised by how much I did enjoy it! It could definitely be a little slow in some areas, and I dont think it is in any way my favorite out of the series as a whole, but I am still glad I decided to continue on with this beautiful series that L.M. Montgomery has created ^_^ I am looking forward to reading the fifth book really soon because of (view
