For the first time in her life, she had someone she could pretend was “family.” But everything was not perfect, for he chose to remain anonymous and asked that she only write him concerning her progress in school.

    Anne Shirley leaves the familiar fields and quiet lanes of Prince Edward Island behind as she steps into a new chapter of her life at Redmond College in Nova Scotia. 
    College brings fresh friendships, intellectual awakening, and a wider world than Anne has ever known—but it also brings difficult choices. As she balances academic ambition with the pull of home, Anne faces romantic proposals, shifting loyalties, and the growing realization that love, like life, is more complex than the ideals she once imagined. 
    Set against the gentle rhythms of early twentieth-century Canada, Anne of the Island is a story of maturity and self-discovery—of learning when to hold fast to dreams, and when to let them evolve. With warmth, humor, and emotional insight, L. M. Montgomery traces Anne’s journey from girlhood toward womanhood, capturing the quiet moments that shape a heart and define a future. 
    This beloved third novel in the Anne Shirley series continues one of literature’s most enduring coming-of-age stories.

    Once it smiled a silent dell
    Where the people did not dwell;
    They had gone unto the wars,
    Trusting to the mild-eyed stars,
    Nightly, from their azure towers,
    To keep watch above the flowers,
    In the midst of which all day
    The red sun-light lazily lay.

    Fyodor Dostoevsky's White Nights is a deeply emotional and poetic novella that explores themes of loneliness, dreams, and fleeting connections. The story follows a solitary dreamer who wanders the streets of St. Petersburg at night, lost in his own thoughts and imagination. One evening, he meets a mysterious young woman, Nastenka, who, like him, is longing for something beyond her reach. Over the course of several nights, they open up to each other, sharing their fears, hopes, and desires, forming an unusual bond.Through delicate and lyrical prose, Dostoevsky captures the fragile nature of human emotions and the contrast between dreams and reality. White Nights is a meditation on love, solitude, and the way our most cherished moments can slip away like a dream. The novella remains one of Dostoevsky's most touching works, leaving readers with a bittersweet sense of longing and reflection on the nature of human connection.
