Anne of Windy Poplars
(Anne of Green Gables Series, #4)
by Lucy Maud Montgomery
Synopsis:
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.
My Review:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ & ❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎
5+ stars & 8/10 hearts. I never know just how to write a review of the Anne books, because they are so good and I love them so much. This one is a sudden shift from the old familiar friends and dwells upon completely new folk. It’s very nice to see all these new people... little Elizabeth and the widows and Rebecca Dew and Katherine and Lewis and... just all of them! They’re all so real and humorous and beautiful and living. Just like all the books, I don’t agree with everything, but it’s beautiful and humorous and just so good. <33
Content: Some mild language, and a mention that a girl will never be able to find a husband if it gets out that she was found with a man at 2 o’clock in the morning. There’s nothing at all inappropriate about how that happened; can’t tell more because of spoilers! ;)
A Favourite Quote: “‘One can always find something lovely to look at or listen to,’ said Anne.”
A Favourite Beautiful Quote: “‘...last night we had a silver thaw and today the sun shone. My maple grove was a place of unimaginable splendors. Even the commonplaces had been made lovely. Every bit of wire fencing was a wonder of crystal lace.’”
A Favourite Humorous Quote: “‘“The quality of mercy is not strained,”’ giggled Sally[.]
“‘Don't quote the Bible flippantly,’ rebuked Aunt Mouser. ‘You must excuse her, Miss Shirley. She just ain't used to getting married.’”

Purchase this book:
The ebook is free on Feedbooks. I do not recommend getting the first book off there because it's full of typos.
This one sounds like a real good one! "She's not used to getting married." *dies*
