Publisher's Summary

Anne Shirley has left Redmond College behind to begin a new job and a new chapter of her life away from Green Gables. Now she faces a new challenge: the Pringles. They're known as the royal family of Summerside--and they quickly let Anne know she is not the person they had wanted as principal of Summerside High School. But as she settles into the cozy tower room at Windy Poplars, Anne finds she has great allies in the widows Aunt Kate and Aunt Chatty and in their irrepressible housekeeper, Rebecca Dew. As Anne learns Summerside's strangest secrets, winning the support of the prickly Pringles becomes only the first of her delicious triumphs.

Anne as a principal. Different pacing and narration than others in series… more new characters… charming in it’s own way

This one is different from the rest so far in the series. The switch to first person in Anne’s letters to Gilbert was a bit jarring, and pacing is a bit of a struggle in this book compared to the others. By the end, I had predictably fallen in love with some of the newly introduced characters in Summerside. I wish we had gotten more time with returning characters, rather than one-off mentions, or of their interactions with new characters. Anne is aging, and so is her perspective… we certainly see less of the wide eyed, imaginative Anne Shirley, but the constancy of her compassion and relentless optimism reminds us of the orphaned girl of Green Gables.

Excellent story - horrible edit

This audiobook would be fine if there wasn’t a completely ludicrous number of chapters [vastly deviating from the source material] - 308! It’s as though they recorded this on TikTok or something and stitched it together.

About 99% of the chapters are 2 minutes long, there’s the odd one at about 3.5 minutes.

It makes for a very halting recording, which is distracting. It also makes it impossible to reference where you are in the actual book should you want to know.

Otherwise the VA does a good job. This is the only audiobook available for Windy Poplars in my region at least [Canada … ironic], so it’s certainly better than having to skip it in the series.
