A review by laurenw
The Alpine Path: The Story of My Career by L.M. Montgomery

lighthearted reflective fast-paced

This book would be a delight to any fans of Montgomery’s work. It presents fun insights into the background to her story (including the true story that inspired Anne of Green Gables!). Reading her words on her history, one can note just how much of herself she has written into her books, from Anne’s trademark place-naming to the Story Girl’s penchant for tale weaving. Her love for the environment around her, so prevalent in her writing, is never more apparent than in this memoir. Interesting anecdotes abound, including Montgomery’s time working at a newspaper in Halifax. All in all, an entertaining read, especially for those for whom her books hold a special place in their hearts.
