Anya from the Whispering Poplars

The fourth book in the cycle about Anya Shirley, a novel in epistolary form.

Gilbert proposes to Anya, and she accepts. But the happy wedding moment is delayed for three years, while Gilbert continues his studies at the university, and Anya takes a position at a school in the town of Summerside. She not only teaches at the school but also holds the position of principal, which is difficult in itself, and she gets drawn into a confrontation with the influential Pringle family in the town. Anya must not only earn the friendship and respect of her colleagues but also uncover many secrets of the local residents... Throughout all three years, Anya writes her fiancé touching letters — about her relationships with new acquaintances and the stories she has been involved in, willingly or unwittingly.
