5. Anne of Windy Poplars
While relishing previous novels of LM Montgomery books,this one brings some disappointment when events get a tad too complicated. Anne’s fearlessness to life makes her favorite and an answer to everyone’s problem. Rumors spread against her which ultimately leads to her temporary social boycott in classroom. Though she is hypothetically separated from Gilbert whose studying medicine miles away they claim to be connected through letters. Interesting book that is full of excitement however it’s a bit inferior to previous books in the same series. People have missed Gilbert in most part of this book.
