Montreal: McGill-Queen's University Press, 2017 Book. Very Good+. Soft cover. ARC/Advance Reading Copy.. War marked L.M. Montgomery's personal life and writing. As an eleven-year-old, she experienced the suspense of waiting months for news about her father, who fought during the North-West Resistance of 1885. During the First World War, she actively led women's war efforts in her community, while suffering anguish at the horrors taking place overseas.
