Happy Book Club Thursday, Paper and Glam Readers!

Here are our discussion questions for Maud:

Ice Breaker - Do you annotate your books or otherwise track your reading? If so, how? If not, any reason why?

1. What was your experience reading Maud and how many 📕 would you rate it?

2. Maud is a fictionalized account of L.M. Montgomery's teenage years as she navigates the choice between her duty and her dreams. Told in 3 distinct parts based on her physical location, what do you think about this episodic structure that is reminiscent of Montgomery's novel titles and how do you think the structure ties in with the themes of purpose, duty, and identity?

3. L.M. Montgomery was a great lover and master of the written word. Are there any passages or scenes that stood out to you as particularly moving or emblematic of the reading and writing life?

4. “This novel takes place while Maud is discovering what it means to be a writer and a woman. During a period where women’s education (let alone being a writer) was considered inappropriate. Maud’s passion, ambition, and dream for education set her apart. She didn’t have the luxury that many women in the Western world have today, of being allowed to choose between ambition and career or love and marriage.”What do you think it means to be a woman and a professional? What insights about that balance have you discovered?

5. The inspiration for this Paper & Book Club selection was an episode of the 14th episode of the What Should I Read Next? Podcast that discussed L.M. Montgomery’s journals. In the author’s note, these journals are also discussed. Did you find L.M. Montgomery’s record of her life inspiring? Do you to keep a journal or record your days?

6. Do you have any recommendations for the L.M. Montgomery fans who want to know more about her life and times?
