Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874-1942)--whose Anne of Green Gables and many other novels are loved by readers around the world--kept extensive journals for most of her life. Volume V, the final collection of the immensely popular Selected Journals of L.M. Montgomery chronicles the years 1935 to 1942, the year of Montgomery's death. In the late 1930's, Montgomery establishes a new home in Toronto and becomes a part of a friendly new community and a public figure, active in literary and social circles. She explores the growing city around her and continues to write, solidifying her place as one of Canada's most popular authors. However, the deterioration of her husband's mental health and friction with her sons was causing her despair. The gaps in the final years of her meticulously kept journal betray her bouts of depression, and her evasions of family problems. Despite her private turmoil, Montgomery scrupulously documents the changing world around her, from the abdication of Edward to the inability of the United Nations to stop Hitler. This final volume testifies to Lucy Maud Montgomery's intelligence and talent as a writer, her sensitivity and insight, and her travails as a human being.
