AFTER ANNE - LOGAN STEINER KARTONIERT (TB)

A stunning and unexpected portrait of Lucy Maud Montgomery  creator of one of literature's most
prized heroines  whose personal demons were at odds with her most enduring legacy?the
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 to create  to
capture and share the way she saw the world. And the young girl in Maud's mind became more and
more persistent: Here is my story  she said. Here is how my name should be spelled?Anne with an
?e.? But the day Maud writes the first lines of Anne 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 minister's wife  an existence she once likened to ?a respectable
form of 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 Anne reveals Maud's hidden
personal challenges while celebrating what was timeless about her life and art?the importance
of tenacity and the peaceful refuge found in imagination.
