Anne is now studying in a Nova Scotia university. She is a good student, has a lot of friends, and sees all her best friends getting married. She ignores a boy from her village that has always really liked her, and who now looks at her as a possible wife. She is convinced that Prince Charming will come, and fails to see that this boy is a very good pretender. This book is all about building from dreams to better reality. In the series of Anne of Green Gables, it is the logical follow-up, and it lives to the level of the two others. It is better for older adolescents, and confronts girls to the dangers of dreaming too much, and turning too much on one’s likes and dislikes. An appeal to realism and generosity.
