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.

BY A REMARKABLE CANADIAN WRITER. NOW A TV SERIES.
'The grandmother of the YA/adult crossover novel' JEAN HANNAH EDELSTEIN, GUARDIAN
From the beloved author of Anne of Green Gables comes the story of Emily Starr, L. M. Montgomery's own favourite character, in the Emily of New Moon trilogy.
There are two things in life Emily Starr is certain of - that she will be a great writer and that she and Teddy Kent were destined to be together. School is over and one by one her friends leave to follow their dreams, including Teddy, who goes to art school in Montreal. Emily chooses to stay at New Moon, and though she misses her friends, she knows the path of a writer is a solitary one.
With each visit home Emily's friends seem more distant, especially Teddy. Desolate, but determined to hide her feelings, she throws herself into finishing her novel. When it is rejected, though, her confidence is shattered. To banish all thoughts of Teddy, Emily agrees to marry a man she doesn't love and give up on her dreams forever. But can she really have been so wrong about everything?
Heart-rending, magical and vibrant, Emily's unforgettable story concludes in Emily's Quest, a Virago Modern Classic.
