This was pretty disappointing. Lucy Maud spends WAY too much time describing unimportant incidentals, like when Anne spends a summer teaching in Valley Road (I had to Google the name of the town because I couldn't for the life of me remember it, so what's that tell you about how riveting the chapter was?). It had absolutely no relevance to the story and the only thing I recall about it was that the woman driving the cart was flat-out obnoxious. "Jog along, black mare!"

"Harvest is ended and summer is gone," quoted Anne Shirley, gazing across the shorn fields dreamily.

I don't know if there are enough words to describe how I feel about Anne of the Island. It is one of the most magically, wonderful, giddy-making, purely-delightful, satisfying books I've ever read...and reread...and reread. Reading this book makes all the world seem right. (At least during the reading process.) It picks up shortly after where Anne of Avonlea leaves off. Anne Shirley and Gilbert Blythe are preparing to go off to Redmond college. (Along with Charlie Sloane and Priscilla Grant who you may or may not remember.) Diana Barry is engaged to Fred Wright. And there is a hint of love in the air.

This is the story of Anne's college years; it spans four years. The books focus on her friendships with Priscilla Grant, Philippa Gordon, and Stella Maynard, her roommates. And of course the book focuses on her romantic-and-not-so-romantic dealings with men. Many men propose to Anne during the course of the book including Billy Andrews--who sends his sister in his place--and Sam Toliver with his bumbling, "Will yeh heve me?" (Charlie Sloane, Gilbert Blythe, and Royal Gardner are others.)

There are many side stories in Anne of The Island. And while these little asides and tangents are not employed much in modern fiction, within the works of L.M. Montgomery, they are so thoroughly charming that they just work well. Really really well.

I loved this one. Loved the romance. Loved the characters. Loved everything.

Here's my favorite bit of the book:

There is a book of Revelation in every one's life, as there is in the Bible. Anne read hers that bitter night, as she kept her agonized vigil through the hours of storm and darkness. She loved Gilbert—had always loved him! She knew that now. She knew that she could no more cast him out of her life without agony than she could have cut off her right hand and cast it from her. And the knowledge had come too late—too late even for the bitter solace of being with him at the last. If she had not been so blind—so foolish—she would have had the right to go to him now. But he would never know that she loved him—he would go away from this life thinking that she did not care. Oh, the black years of emptiness stretching before her! She could not live through them—she could not! She cowered down by her window and wished, for the first time in her gay young life, that she could die, too. If Gilbert went away from her, without one word or sign or message, she could not live. Nothing was of any value without him. She belonged to him and he to her. In her hour of supreme agony she had no doubt of that. He did not love Christine Stuart—never had loved Christine Stuart. Oh, what a fool she had been not to realize what the bond was that had held her to Gilbert—to think that the flattered fancy she had felt for Roy Gardner had been love. And now she must pay for her folly as for a crime. (237)

My sentimental favorite of the Anne series. I always thought college was going to be just like that - my best friends, a cute little house in a great neighborhood, and my childhood friend, madly in love with me. Anne is one of my favorite literary heroines, and I liked her transition between girlhood and adulthood. She's grown out of classic Anne of Green Gables, but she's still the same person.

I must have read this book 30 times, and it never gets any less fun. It's one of my top 5 comfort book...more

“The joy of housekeeping without the bother of a husband…” How quaint! How delightful, naive and refreshing! Anne of the Island (1915) by the Canadian writer Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874-1942) is a surprisingly bright story. Anne Shirley, an orphan of moderate means, attends a university and experiences the trials, joys and tribulations of school life with a few close classmates. The narrative gives the reader a picture of life, from the outside looking in through a crystal clear window of detachm...more

Enchantment. Wonder. Delight. These are the words that best describe the emotions of one who reads L.M. Montgomery’s Anne of the Island. The third book in the Anne of Green Gables series, Anne of the Island tells the story of Anne’s early-adult years with charm, description, and humor. Ms. Montgomery accomplishes this through excellent character development, a convincing plot, and a beautiful, enchanting setting.
Character development in Anne of the Island was nothing short of marvelous. Although the book is the third in the series, the author still gives plenty of detail of the characters in the book, giving each one a complex and mesmerizing appearance and personality. Anne grows up, starting to put aside her childish ways, and her friends also grow up around her, starting their own families. Everyone that Anne meets when she goes off to college is given their own way for the reader to remember them, whether it be through striking beauty, amazing brains (or lack thereof), or a perpetually enthusiastic personality, as some of her college friends have. It is my belief that Ms. Montgomery is able to accomplish this through the way that the character talks. The uneducated have noticeably cringe-worthy grammar, and even the sophomores that Anne sees from a distance at the beginning of her freshman year are given the general, collective personality and attitude of superiority over these lowly “freshettes”, as Anne and her friends call themselves in the book. Characterization was fabulous, which beautifully complements the mesmerizing plot of the book.
The plot of the book Anne of the Island was not that of the classic turn-of-the-century love story, full of lace hankies and forbidden love. Instead, it is about a girl who goes to college alongside a boy she’s known since she was eleven, after staying in her hometown to help her adopted mother in her old age and declining eyesight. The author makes the plot extremely believable, making Anne make new friends at college, as everyone does, break up with beaux, as many do, and believe that she is in love, which happens to nearly everyone. This makes everything that happens to Anne, good or bad, extremely relatable to the reader, who can easily feel Anne’s anguish when she discovers that Gilbert, who she realizes that she loved all along, is dying of typhoid fever, or her joy at the new, quaint little house that she and her friends are fortunate enough to actually be able to rent during their sophomore through senior years at Redmond College. This makes Anne all the more endearing to the reader, because Ms. Montgomery, through the believable nature of the plot, forces the reader to love Anne because her trials and triumphs parallel that of the reader’s own life; loss, joy, love, and regret are common occurrences and feelings throughout the book, which are also common throughout the lives of many people. The developments in the plot are also made all the more supposable through the intricately and superiorly described setting.
Anne of the Island takes place on Prince Edward Island, which is an island off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada. By nature of Anne’s personality, paired with the fact that the book is told from her perspective, everything is detailed right down to the exact shade of the color of a particularly pretty flower that Anne happens to see on the side of the road. It is also easy to see the time period of the book, as the residents of Avonlea and the college Anne chooses to attend are delighted with the addition of telephones to their houses and public places, which is something that we take for granted here in 2012. Anne takes a train to get to college, and the style of the clothing being worn is depicted as being adorned in lace, ribbons, and jewels. Everything is in extensive detail, which makes the book much easier to read because one can picture where the book is taking place, ultimately leading to everything else being more conceivable. All in all, the exquisite detailing of the setting of this book is a key element to making the book all the more superior and believable.
Anne of the Island was an excellent book in every aspect. The characterization was refreshingly thorough, the plot was believable, and the setting was crystal-clear. Anyone who loves historical fiction and romance books would fall head-over-heels for this book, and it would surprise no one.(less)

Anne goes to college! And makes new chums. This was the first Anne book I've ever read (which I read well into adulthood) but I was surprised at how PGWodehouse-like it is.

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(less)
