The Island
by Peter Watts
2009 novelette by Peter Watts
New adventures lie ahead for Anne Shirley as she packs her bags, waves goodbye to childhood, and heads for Redmond College. With her old friend Prissy Grant waiting in the bustling city of Kingsport, and frivolous new pal Philippa Gordon at her side, Anne spreads her wings and discovers life on her own terms, filled with surprises: the joys of sharing a house with her irrepressible friends, her very first sale of a story - and a marriage proposal from the worst fellow imaginable!
