Lucy Maud Montgomery was a complex, contradictory woman whose literary achievements rank among the most popular of all Canadian writing. Every Canadian knows Anne of Green Gables, yet very few of us know Lucy Maud Montgomery.
Using diaries and letters Lucy Maud never intended to be made public, The Wheel of Things is a pioneering biography of one of Canada's most successful and important writers. Since its publication, the release of Montgomery's diaries and other work by scholarly writers have confirmed the life story that Mollie Gillen tells so well in this important and path-breaking biography.

Maud Montgomery Macdonald was a woman of honor and duty, who wrote of beauty. Gillen's biography of her is well-written and extremely well documented by Montgomery's letters to friends and her journals.
Maud Montgomery was tempestuously emotional while simultaneously being controlled and disciplined. It did take a toll on her, along with her husband's depression. She "mixed" when she didn't want to, was the dutiful minister's wife, and "suffered fools gladly" when she wanted to be alone. She suffered because she was never able to write something of merit as measured by her own internal standard.
My perception of Emily's Quest as a pot-boiler was right on target. Montgomery never wanted to write sequels and the effort she had to make in order to fulfill her publisher's wishes were monumental.
I really admire Lucy Maud Montgomery Macdonald and appreciate Gillen's biographical work immensely.
This book, published by Goodread Biographers, was truly a good read.
