Product Description

Product Description

No amount of drama between the Dark and Penhallow families can prepare them for what follows when Aunt Becky bequeaths her prized heirloom jug - the owner to be revealed in one year's time. The intermarriages, and resulting fighting and feuding, that have occurred over the years grow more intense as Gay Penhallow's fiancé leaves her for the devious Nan Penhallow; Peter Penhallow and Donna Dark find love after a lifelong hatred of each other; and Joscelyn and Hugh Dark, inexplicably separated on their wedding night, are reunited.

Hopes and shortcomings are revealed as we follow the fates of the clan for an entire year. The legendary jug sits amid this love, heartbreak, and hilarity as each family member works to acquire the heirloom. But on the night that the eccentric matriarch's wishes are to be revealed, both families find the biggest surprise of all.



From the Publisher

Two family clans, the Darks and the Penhallows, fight for possession of a big, brown jug--a family heirloom. The book spans a year in the life of various family members. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favourites., Nov 25 2006
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intricate, Detailed, and Satisfying, April 27 2001
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars great to dip into
This has to be one of my favourite "stand-alone" LMM books. I love the way the characters' lives weave in and out with one another. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Next to 'The Blue Castle,' this is my favorite.
I love LMM's portrayals of big families (like in the Pat books, the Emily books, or 'Magic for Marigold') and this one is just hilarious. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good
This book is sweet, romantic and incredibly well-written, but it is not one of LM's best. She threw too many characters in one story, so you are apt to get the mixed up. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars One of LM Montgomery's most intriguing
This is a rather amazing book, in that it has so many stories going on at once. It's astonishing how many people one little (ugly) jug manages to affect! Read more
