Anne of the Island is the third novel in L. M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables series, first published in 1915. In this installment, Anne Shirley leaves her beloved home at Green Gables and heads to Redmond College in Kingsport to further her education. This marks a new chapter in Anne's life, filled with new experiences, personal growth, and challenges as she navigates life away from the familiar comforts of Avonlea.
At Redmond, Anne forms new friendships, particularly with her roommates, and becomes closer to her long-time friend, Diana Barry, who also attends the college. Anne’s imaginative nature continues to guide her, but she also faces the realities of adult life, including balancing her academic responsibilities with her personal aspirations.
One of the central themes of Anne of the Island is Anne’s evolving relationship with Gilbert Blythe, who has long been a part of her life, though they have been at odds for many years after Anne's early refusal of his romantic advances. As they both mature, their feelings for each other deepen, but Anne struggles with reconciling her ideals of romance with the reality of love and relationships.
