Intricate, Detailed, and Satisfying,
By merrystar (Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tangled Web (Mass Market Paperback)
LMM's gift for portraying people's hopes and dreams and shortcomings in a sympathetic fashion shines in this novel. Among her most unique stories in format, it chooses to follow the fates of an entire clan for a year, alternately "peeping in" on the thoughts of first one person and then another. In most of her novels we see everyone through the lens of the main character: here we see each of them as they see themselves.The characters' actions and decisions are shadowed by either their own, or their loved ones' desire to win possession of a coveted family jug. And although there is only one jug, the impetus to change and improve their lives results in nearly everyone being happy at the end of the story. LMM is as usual able to evoke both the comical and the noble side of her characters, all the while telling a good story. In feel and in setting this novel is very typical of LMM's work; the delightful characters and small-town politics will be familiar to anybody who loves her writing. It stands out from her other works because of the multiplicity of characters and storylines. Over the years this has become one of my favourite LMM novels. I would especially recommend it to any adults reading her books for the first time.

One of my favourites.,
By Elaine (Toronto, ON) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tangled Web (Hardcover)
It's different from LM Montgomery's more popular series' like Emily and Anne because it focusses on many different couples and many different people, but it is one of my favourite of her books. Brilliantly witty, funny, romantic and touching...it made me laugh out loud and made me shed some tears. Definately a must for Montgomery fans.
