Summary: Kindred Spirit is a biography on L.M. Montgomery, who is the
author of the popular Anne of Green
Gables series.
Review: I
really enjoyed learning more about L.M. Montgomery from this excellent
biography. I have read the Anne of Green
Gables series when I was a child, and Montgomery’s style of writing and
simplistic setting of Green Gables always had me longing for an adventurous
life such as Anne Shirley’s. Catherine Andronik’s biography shows exactly how
Montgomery formed Anne into a familiar character that a lot of girls can relate
to and inspire to be. It becomes clear how Montgomery used her life experiences
to make the series so many love. I especially enjoyed reading about
Montgomery’s start as a writer and how some of the funny circumstances we think
of that happened in Green Gables actually happened to her in real life. It was
also interesting to see the similarities between the author and the character
she created. Anyone who wants to learn more about the author of Anne of Green
Gables and of how these stories came to be, this book is for you.
Hi Denise, this looks like a goodie. Please bring this over to Books You Loved: May so everyone can see it. Cheers from Carole's Chatter
