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.

'It's been lovely to be Anne of Green Gables again for a week, but it's a hundred times lovelier to come back and be Anne of Ingleside'
There's never a dull moment at Ingleside, Anne's lively home: Anne is now the mother of five children - with a sixth baby on the way. But even with endless demands on her time, she couldn't be happier and there's nowhere in the world she'd rather be.
No matter what life brings - whether it's the numerous scrapes her children get up to or Gilbert's insufferable aunt outstaying her welcome by months - Anne faces every challenge with her usual verve for life. But then she begins to suspect that Gilbert doesn't love her any more. She's a little older, it's true, but Anne is the same spirited redhead she's always been. She hasn't changed. But has he?
