Lucy Maud Montgomery, a Canadian author, is best known for her novel "Anne of Green Gables," which gained her international fame and established her writing career. Born in 1874 on Prince Edward Island, she lost her mother at a young age and was raised by her grandparents. Montgomery's early life was marked by loneliness, which she credited for developing her creativity. She had a tumultuous personal life, with numerous love interests and an unhappy marriage to Ewen Macdonald, a Presbyterian minister. Despite her personal struggles, Montgomery continued to write prolifically, producing numerous sequels to "Anne" and other novels. Her works were often set in Prince Edward Island, which became a popular tourist site. Montgomery's life was also marked by bouts of depression, and she may have ended her life through a drug overdose in 1942. Despite being dismissed by critics during her lifetime, her work continues to be celebrated and she remains the most successful Canadian author of all time.
