Anne of Windy Poplars
Book 4 of the Anne of Green Gables series
Anne spends three years as principal of Summerside High School while boarding at Windy Poplars with two welcoming widows and their capable housekeeper. Through letters to Gilbert, she recounts school politics, local feuds, lonely children, and the formidable Pringle clan's effort to undermine her. Her instinct for entering other people's troubles brings comic complications but also creates unexpected reconciliations. Cozy and episodic, this interlude in Anne's life is ideal for breezy evenings and readers who enjoy small-town rivalries, found households, and kindness patiently loosening old grudges.
