"Magic Island - The Fictions of LM Montgomery" by Elizabeth Waterston
Next book to be added to my LMM Library
Illusions of contentment and a revolving door
After much personal study and reflection on this subject, I have come to a conclusion (subject to change) that Lucy Maud Montgomery made the most disastrous personal choices of her life based on an inate desire to enfold herself into her own illusions of contentment.
"A Scope for Imagination"
"The book was clean , but jacket-less, and it gave the impression of having held it's sway amongst the other, similarly aged titles. The title on the spine read as follows: "Anne of Green Gables." The book, in my memory, seems to have shivered and quivered on the shelf. It shouldn't be hard to guess the rest of this story. "Anne of Green Gables" is the book that came home with me that day. From the first page to the end I was enveloped with a keen consciousness of feeling that the magic of my life had finally fallen upon me." Rosemary
