"Anne of the Island" is the third novel in the "Anne of Green Gables" Series in which she attends Redmond College in Kingsport to study for her BA. Anne is kept up to speed with the goings on in Avonlea via insightful letters and visits home. Her friendship with Gilbert, who has also enrolled at Redmond, blossoms in their new surroundings, but can Anne see it for what it truly is? I'm not entirely sure Roy is a real person, but more of a figment of Anne's overblown imagination, and he suffers a merciless death (figuratively) when at last her quixotic dream ceases to sustain itself before her and she grows up. What happens with Anne seldom happens in real life, as it is ludicrously fortunate for her that Gilbert is so indomitable in his love that she gets so many chances, perhaps to an excessive degree (in so far as his contracting typhoid fever in his loveless agony because he can't live without her). The thing is, there is no such thing as a perfect man (or woman) and we are only deceiving ourselves if we think such people exist; they only exist in novels like this. I think this novel should serve as a warning: if we let ourselves become like Anne, it may very well cost us the only chance at love we get. When I first read this series in middle school, this book was my favorite in the series, and so far, it still is. The only difference is that I can relate more to it now that I’ve finished college. One of my favorite parts of this book are Anne and her roommates and their moments in Patty’s Place. I love the description of their relationships with each other, the cats, and the overall coziness. The way Anne matures in the book while still holding on to fond memories of the past is bittersweet. My other favorite part is the romance between Anne and Gilbert. Gilbert is romantic and perfect. When I was younger, I was frustrated by Anne taking so long to realize she’s in love with him, but now that I’m older, I found it amusing at times. I also really appreciate a slow burn romance in comparison to all the fast paced romances of today’s books. I’m excited to continue to see how I relate to Anne in the coming books now that I’ve experienced things she does. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
