Description

A stunning and unexpected portrait of Lucy Maud Montgomery, creator of one of literatures most prized heroines, whose personal demons were at odds with her most enduring legacythe irrepressible Anne of Green Gables.

Dear old world, she murmured, you are very lovely, and I am glad to be alive in you.L. M. Montgomery,Anne of Green Gables, 1908

As a young woman, Maud had dreams bigger than the whole of Prince Edward Island. Her exuberant spirit had always drawn frowns from her grandmother and their neighbors, but she knew she was meant tocreate, to capture and share the way she saw the world. And the young girl in Mauds mind became more and more persistent: Here is my story,she said.Here is how my name should be spelledAnne with an e.

But the day Maud writes the first lines ofAnne of Green Gables, she gets a visit from the handsome new minister in town, and soon faces a decision: forge her own path as a spinster authoress, or live as a rural ministers wife, an existence she once called "a synonym for respectable slavery." The choice she makes alters the course of her life.

With a husband whose religious mania threatens their health and happiness at every turn, the secret darkness that Maud herself holds inside threatens to break through the persona she shows to the world, driving an ever-widening wedge between her public face and private self, and putting her on a path towards a heartbreaking end.

Beautiful and moving,After Annereveals Mauds hidden personal challenges while celebrating what was timeless about her life and artthe importance of tenacity and the peaceful refuge found in imagination.
