This is the forth in Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables series (chronologically it is the fifth book after Anne of the Windy Poplars, written in 1936). It was first published in 1917 and chronicles Anne's early married life, as she and her childhood sweetheart Gilbert Blythe begin to build their life together.

In this book, we finally get to see the culmination of Anne & Gilbert's love story.
It takes us from the familar environs of Avonlea to the other side of the Island - Four Winds. And to an environment that is not so idyllic as Avonlea. We encounter suicide, bullying and see life in a fishing village and port.
We also meet wonderful new characters - such as Captain Jim and Miss Cornelia and the tragic figure of Leslie West.
Anne's life as a married woman is not all happy, and she faces a tragedy in the early years of her marriage.
Yes - I love the "Anne" books and was pleased to see that the "Story Girl" books are available through Project Gutenberg here in Australia. Personally - my favorite of LM Montgomery's books though is "Jane of Lantern Hill" and hope it will soon come into public domain!
