87 New Historical Fiction Books Hitting Shelves This Year

Logan Steiner digs into the life of the woman behind "Anne of Green Gables" in "After Anne." Lucy Maud Montgomery dreams big despite the disapproval of her family and community. Meanwhile, she nurtures the idea of the irrepressible Anne Shirley, a character that just begs to be written. Just as Maud begins to write her novel, a young minister comes to town, and Maud finds herself torn between two choices: a life of respectability and ordinariness, or the risky life of a spinster author. Even after her choice is made, Maud struggles to find true happiness, with her inner self more and more unable to coexist with the facade she must put on in public.
