Je l’ai enchainé juste après le tome 3, ayant besoin de connaître la suite une fois que Anne et Gilbert se sont confessés l’un à l’autre, et de rester dans cette bulle.
Je l’ai un tout petit peu moins apprécié que les autres, mais c’est vraiment juste une différence d’approche, pas de qualité.
La grande majorité du récit est raconté sous forme épistolaire, de Anne à Gilbert, que l’on ne voit jamais dans ce tome, ce qui m’a un peu manqué. Heureusement, les quelques phrases romantiques parsemées dans les lettres d’Anne m’ont donné un peu satisfaction…
J’ai vécu le début comme une succession d’événements et de persos auxquels j’étais plutôt indifférente, dans un endroit qui n’était PAS Green Gables, et un entourage exclusivement de nouveaux visages sans les anciens.
Puis comme Anne, j’ai appris à les connaître, à les apprécier et à me plaire à Windy Willows, au fil des récits et des histoires de vie des personnages qu’Anne rencontre. Ce tome était un récit de rencontres, d’histoires de vie, toutes plus rafraîchissantes les unes que les autres.
Anne n’était pas tant le personnage principale que le vaisseau qui nous emmène à la rencontre de la vie qui l’entoure.
J’ai fin par adorer ce tome et attend avec impatience la suite dans la vie maritale d’Anne et Gilbert dans leur maison et avec leur famille!

In this fourth installation of the Anne of Green Gables series, Anne finds herself the Principle of Summerside High and the boarder at Windy Poplars. The poetic writing of Montgomery, gives a vivid description of the landscape of Windy Poplars and all the characters Anne comes across. Anne continues to have a whimsical air about her and the residences of this new town cannot help but grown to love her. We spend three years in Summerside and Windy Poplars, switching between reading the letters Anne writes to her betrothed, Gilbert and third party narration, and end with Anne heading home to be married.

I found this one much harder to get into than the previous ones (I needed two tries to finally manage it), mostly because, except for Anne, we have a fully new cast of characters, and none of the previous characters <i>really</i> show up.
Before, she at least took some of her friends and acquaintances from book to book, but now even Gilbert doesn't get a much bigger role than being mentioned as her fiance and part of the book being told in letters to him. These letters mostly just recount the events in Summerside like the rest of the story does.
Similarly, before, Anne had something to work towards, and now after the first part where she works towards the students and residents of Summerside to respect her, she doesn't have anything to work towards, only live through the three years she teaches at Summerside until she marries Gilbert.
Once I got into it, I still enjoyed all the little stories in her life, but I think I might have grown out of this type of story and would have preferred either more bigger roles for her previous friends and acquaintances or an overarching plot arc for the whole book.

I absolutely adored this book! I thought the way the author structured the book was so clever! Essentially, the book was comprised of various excerpts from letters written by Anne to Gilbert. It was a fun and creative way of seeing the connection between the two characters while also learning more about the experiences Anne had undergone as a principal.
I am so thrilled to read the next book in the series! I would totally recommend this read to anyone who wants a light and cheery novel with sharp witt.

Anne not being able to write love letters to Gil without a particular pen is oddly relatable.

this just got so boring and i was really skimming through it. it wasnt about any of the characters that i liked, and i did not like the letter format. she's engaged and love story is complete so thats all i need.

I think the thing that I love about this series is that it’s written from Anne’s point of view. It makes the story much more colorful and can almost make you feel as if you were in the story. I think what I enjoyed about this book specifically was that Anne is finally a woman and it’s nice to read about a little kid that has grown so much.
I must admit that I did miss Diana, Marilla and the twins. Although little Elizabeth was a nice addition. But like I said I missed the group from Green Gables.
