Review: An exquisite debut novel by Logan Steiner. It's beautifully written and meticulously researched. You don't need to by a fan of Anne of Green Gables to appreciate the novel, but it certainly enhances the experience. It walked away with a deeper appreciation for her novels and insight into the voice behind Anne. It's been years since I've read them and after finishing After Anne immediately wanted to revisit her fictional world through this new lens. Steiner paints a nuanced and relatable picture of a complicated and at times troubled woman who struggles with balancing career and motherhood. She also explores the complicated dynamics of her marriage to a man who deeply changed from the person she thought she married and who ultimately struggled deeply with her success: a topic that will unfortunately resonate with many modern readers. The book gives incredible insight into the creative process and the at times dichotomous nature of what one presents creatively to the world and the reality of one's personal life. While Maud's story is ultimately heartbreaking, there is incredible reverence and respect for Maud and Anne that emanates from the work. It is clear the author is a fan and she does justice to the author and her fictional work. Just as Maud draws us into the world of Anne, so does Steiner into the world of Maud. I couldn't put the novel down and have sent copies to many of my close friends. Review: This brilliantly written first novel by Ms. Steiner is a rewarding read for both Anne of Green Gables aficionados and newbies like myself who had never read any of Lucy Maud Montgomery's fiction before. Relentlessly researched, this novel witnesses the real struggles of a professional rising to prominence at a time when the adult lives of women were largely and singularly defined by marriage and motherhood and through the genre of historical fiction offers fascinatingly plausible insights into Montgomery's inner life as she attempts to "have it all". The story's plot, while necessarily told in intervals from the first conjuring of the character Anne in the early 1900s through Montgomery's death in 1942, illuminates themes that will resonate with any modern reader who has ever yearned to create, who must balance their own desires against the expectations of and obligations to friends, family and loved ones or who has lived through any stretch of life, short or long, that contains the maddening duality of unbridled joy and crushing disappointment. I highly recommend reading this one. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (44) | | Dimensions | 13.49 x 2.11 x 20.32 cm | | Edition | Standard Edition | | ISBN-10 | 0063246457 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0063246454 | | Item weight | 1.05 Kilograms | | Language | English | | Print length | 368 pages | | Publication date | 6 July 2023 | | Publisher | William Morrow Paperbacks | ## Images ![After Anne: A Novel of Lucy Maud Montgomery's Life - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81QMnNu00AL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***Y on 30 July 2023* An exquisite debut novel by Logan Steiner.

Even though I haven't read the "Anne" books in years, the heart of the story came alive for me in reading this novel based on the author, Lucy Maud Montgomery's life. I loved how author Logan Steiner wove the spirit and the words of the character Anne throughout Maud's thinking and patterns, both in how the character inspired her in her daily life and her grief when that connection seemed elusive. I found myself drawn to Maud's energy, creativity and spirit. Steiner describes her beautifully and captures the essence of the male-female dynamics of that day. The novel threads a birthday party scene at the height of Maud's life, when she is in love, enjoying a best friend and her first career success, throughout the chronological story. Maud's has a tragic ending; unfortunately the last several years of her life leave her lonely, depressed and in conflict with family members. I appreciate how Steiner uses the birthday party scene to emphasize the essence of who Maud was despite her desperate choices at the end. I read this novel within a week because it was so engaging! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/571230224-after-anne-a-novel-of-lucy-maud-montgomerys-life](https://www.desertcart.us/products/571230224-after-anne-a-novel-of-lucy-maud-montgomerys-life) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-28*
