Anne of the Island is a the third book in the Anne of Green Gables series, written by Lucy Maud Montgomery about Anne Shirley.
Anne of the Island was published in 1915, seven years after the bestselling Anne of Green Gables. In the continuing story of Anne Shirley, Anne attends Redmond College in Kingsport, where she is studying for her BA.
Anne leaves Green Gables and her work as a teacher in Avonlea to pursue her original dream (which she gave up in "Anne of Green Gables") of taking further education at Redmond College in Nova Scotia. Gilbert Blythe and Charlie Sloane enroll as well, as do Anne's friends from Queens College, Priscilla Grant and Stella Maynard. During her first week of school, Anne befriends Philippa Gordon, a beautiful girl whose frivolous ways charm her. Philippa (Phil for short) is also from Anne's birthplace, which is Bolingbroke, Nova Scotia.
The girls spend their first year in boardinghouses and decide to set up house thereafter in a lovely cottage called Patty's Place, near campus. The girls enter their second year at Redmond happily ensconced at Patty's Place, while life continues in Avonlea. Diana Barry is engaged to Fred Wright and Davy and Dora continue to keep Marilla busy. Gilbert, who has always loved Anne, proposes to her but Anne rejects him, essentially because she holds such sentimental fantasies of what love must be (all including a tall, dark, handsome, inscrutable hero) that she doesn't yet recognize her feelings for Gilbert. Gilbert leaves, embarrassed and disappointed, and Anne and Gilbert drift apart.
Anne's childhood friend Ruby Gillis dies of consumption very soon after finding her own true love. Anne later welcomes the courtship of Roy Gardner, a darkly handsome Redmond student who embodies her romantic image of love and showers her with attention and poetic gestures. However, when he proposes after two years of courtship, Anne abruptly realizes that Roy does not really belong in her life, and that she had only been in love with the idea of him, her "dark-eyed ideal." She rejects his proposal and returns to Avonlea.
Anne is so ashamed of the way she treated Roy that she feels her entire Redmond experience is spoiled. She returns to Avonlea, a "full-fledged B.A.", to find everyone going on with their lives. Diana gives birth to her first child, and Jane Andrews, an old school friend, marries a Winnipeg millionaire. While trying to figure out what she shall do next, Anne learns that Gilbert is gravely ill with typhoid fever. With shock, Anne finally realizes the depth of her true feelings for Gilbert, and endures a white night of fear that she will he will go away from this world believing that she does not care about him. In the morning, Anne gratefully learns that Gilbert will survive. Gilbert recovers over the summer and after several visits to Green Gables, he and Anne take a late summer walk in Hester Gray's garden, and finally become engaged.
