Montgomery is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. This anthology showcases Montgomery's signature themes of love, friendship, and the beauty of everyday life, often set against the backdrop of rural Canada. The characters often navigate their social circles, showcasing the dynamics between class and companionship, which is reflected in the intertwining of their personal struggles and aspirations. The opening of the collection introduces various characters through a prism of emotions and relationships. One of the first stories, "A Fortunate Mistake," follows Nan Wallace, who is sidelined with a sprained ankle and reflects on the social dynamics at play when her sister inadvertently invites an outsider, Florrie Hamilton. The story highlights themes of social acceptance and the nuances of kindness, evolving relationships, and understanding as the initially shy Florrie finds friendship with the Wallaces, suggesting a deeper commentary on societal norms and the transformative power of empathy.
