Anne of Windy Poplars by L.M. Montgomery

5.0

Haven't read this in a very long time. Her choice to tell most of the story through the viewpoint of Anne's letters to Gilbert was both delightful and maddening, the latter especially because she glossed over most of the points where Anne "just the right sort of pen nib" to write love letters, and she intentionally omitted nearly all appearances by Gilbert. As a literary device this was brilliant - it emphasized the distance between them for those three years she taught in Summerside. But I wanted to read the sordid details of their romance!
