Anne of Windy Poplars

Anne of Windy Poplars is an epistolary novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery, first published in 1936 and part of the Anne series. It follows Anne Shirley during a stretch of work in Summerside, Prince Edward Island, where she serves as principal of a high school. A large part of the book is told through letters she writes to her fiancé, Gilbert Blythe, so the story unfolds in a personal, letter-based way rather than through a standard third-person plot.

This is a good fit for readers who like character-centered series fiction and do not need fast-moving action to stay engaged. It should appeal to anyone drawn to epistolary novels, to warm but restrained writing, and to stories built around daily life, relationships, and a strong sense of place. It sits naturally alongside the rest of the Anne books and with children's fiction that relies on voice and correspondence instead of constant plot twists.
