From Montgomery's apparently idyllic childhood in Prince Edward Island to her passion-filled adolescence and young adulthood, to her legal fights as world-famous author, to her shattering experiences with motherhood and as wife to a deeply troubled man, the story of this beloved author goes far deeper than many people think.
Mary Henley Rubio has spent over two decades researching Montgomery's life, and has put together a comprehensive and penetrating picture of this Canadian literary icon, all set in rich social context. Extensive interviews with people who knew Montgomery — her son, maids, friends, relatives, all now deceased — are only part of the material gathered in a journey to understand Montgomery that took Rubio to Poland and the highlands of Scotland. This fascinating, intimate narrative of her life will engage and delight.
