Synopsis

The literary world of Lucy Maud Montgomery comes to life in three of her enchanting novels: "Rainbow Valley," "Anne's House of Dreams," and "Emily of the New Moon." "Rainbow Valley" transports readers to the village of Glen St. Mary, where the irrepressible Blythe children bring joy, adventure, and youthful innocence to their surroundings. Set against the backdrop of World War I, the novel beautifully captures the resilience of children and their ability to infuse life with hope even in challenging times.In "Anne's House of Dreams," Montgomery continues the beloved story of Anne Shirley as she embarks on a new chapter of her life as a young bride. Moving to the serene Four Winds Harbor, Anne and her husband Gilbert Blythe create a home filled with love, dreams, and unforgettable friendships. The novel explores themes of marriage, personal growth, and the bittersweet nature of change, all while maintaining the author's signature blend of humor and heartwarming storytelling.
"Emily of the New Moon" introduces readers to another of Montgomery's spirited heroines, Emily Starr. Following the tragic loss of her father, Emily goes to live with her stern Aunt Elizabeth and the enigmatic matriarchal figure, Aunt Laura. The novel intricately weaves Emily's journey of self-discovery as she navigates the challenges of artistic pursuits, family dynamics, and the nuances of her relationships. Set in the picturesque Prince Edward Island, the book captures the essence of the Canadian landscape while delving into themes of creativity, identity, and the power of imagination.
Lucy Maud Montgomery's ability to create endearing characters and craft richly detailed settings resonates throughout these novels, offering readers a glimpse into her timeless and captivating storytelling prowess.

About Lucy Maud Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874–1942) was born in Clifton, Prince Edward Island, Canada, and raised by her maternal grandparents. She attended Prince of Wales College in Charlottetown, where she completed the two-year teaching-certificate program in one year, and went on to study literature at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She returned to live with her grandmother on Prince Edward Island, which became the basis for her “Anne” books. The publication of Anne of Green Gables in 1908 brought her overnight success.

Goodreads review by Heather on July 13, 2008

I found the writing in this book very scattered. The author draws the same conclusions about "Maud" over and over, attempting to back them up with Maud's own words, but in other passages, there is as much to disprove the auther's opinions as there is to prove them. The best chapter in the book is th......more

Goodreads review by VJ on January 31, 2012

Maud Montgomery Macdonald was a woman of honor and duty, who wrote of beauty. Gillen's biography of her is well-written and extremely well documented by Montgomery's letters to friends and her journals. Maud Montgomery was tempestuously emotional while simultaneously being controlled and disciplined......more

I have read all of the Anne of Green Gables novels many times and love them so I wanted to read more about the author.

I have never read a biography of Lucy Maud Montgomery! I know, I'm shocked myself. She is my favorite author after all. This was so well written... Honestly, I felt like she wrote it herself! The style was perfectly hers! I was so surprised that she actually didn't like Anne! That she was sick of wr......more

Goodreads review by Alike on January 01, 2009

This was really good. But better yet, was Lucy's actual bios (three books in all). She wrote so honestly about her life, marriage, the bittersweet duty of motherhood, and the death of a stillborn son. She did not sound like someone writing in the 1800's. She could have been your best friend that cam......more
