While her fictional characters inhabited a world where love and close community bonds overcame all tribulations  Montgomerys real life was marked by grief and loneliness. Married to a clergyman who suffered from a debilitating mental illness  Montgomery struggled to keep up appearances in a Victorian society that valued propriety at all costs. As she aged  depression engulfed her; nonetheless  throughout her life  she maintained her prolific output of fiction  attracting ever-increasing numbers of fans. Acclaimed novelist Jane Urquhart has written several novels centring on the role of the artist. Here  she explores the life of a woman whose successful literary career broke the boundaries set for women of her time  but who could not escape the societal strictures of Victorian Canada or her own demons.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45647085600821,"sku":"ByrdShop_0670066753","price":29.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780670066759.jpg?v=1781688365","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/extraordinary-canadians-lucy-maud-montgomery-9780670066759","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
