Anne et le désormais « docteur » Gilbert Blythe découvrent leur premier foyer : une ­adorable maison nichée entre la baie de Four Winds, un fabuleux rivage de rochers ocre et un bois de sapins murmurants. Entre les crêtes argentées, les embruns et la musique des vagues, Anne va faire de précieuses rencontres : Mademoiselle Cornelia et ses opinions tranchées, le merveilleux Capitaine Jim et ses mille histoires, et Leslie Moore, une beauté aussi froide que fascinante.
