"Lucy Maud Montgomery: The Gift of Wings" By Mary Henley Rubio
This biography is a must read for L.M. Montgomery fans! And includes many never-before-seen photographs from the Montgomery archives.
From Montgomery’s apparently idyllic childhood in Prince Edward Island to her passion-filled adolescence and young adulthood, to her legal fights as a world-famous author, her shattering experiences with motherhood and her marriage to a deeply troubled man: this fascinating, intimate narrative of her life will engage and delight.
Mary Henley Rubio has spent 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 and relatives – are only part of the material gathered in a journey to understand Montgomery.
