Anne of Windy Poplars by Lucy Maud Montgomery

Description

Anne of Windy Poplars is a book by Lucy Maud Montgomery, first published in 1936, and is the fourth novel in the beloved Anne of Green Gables series. Written after Anne of Ingleside but set earlier in Anne Shirley’s life, it occupies a unique place in the chronology, offering readers a bridge between her university days and her married years. Montgomery drew richly on her own memories of teaching and small-town dynamics, creating a story that reflects both the warmth and friction of early twentieth-century community life. The novel follows Anne during her three years as principal of Summerside High School, living in the charming house known as Windy Poplars. Through her letters to Gilbert Blythe, readers see her navigate local politics, social tensions, and the often-unyielding influence of the town’s prominent families. Central figures include the formidable Pringle clan, who try to undermine her position, and her cozy circle of new companions such as Rebecca Dew and the widows who share her lodging. These characters enrich the narrative while highlighting Anne’s characteristic optimism, resilience, and empathy. Much of the book explores Anne's encounters with students, townsfolk, and the varied personal challenges that come her way. Themes of perseverance, kindness, and belonging weave through the story, making it an enduring favourite for readers of classic literature and fans of character-driven novels. As part of a bestselling literary series, Anne of Windy Poplars remains a popular choice for those seeking heartwarming fiction, wholesome storytelling, and a nostalgic journey into early Canadian life.
