Lucy Maud Montgomery: A Tangled Web, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

One dying matriarch, one coveted heirloom, and one year for an entire family to prove itself worthy.

Aunt Becky Dark has long ruled over the sprawling Dark and Penhallow clans with a sharp tongue and an unrivaled knowledge of their secrets. Shortly before her death, she announces that her treasured heirloom jug will be awarded to one member of the family-but the recipient will not be revealed for an entire year. Suddenly, relatives who have spent decades feuding, gossiping, and nursing grievances begin reconsidering their behavior in hopes of securing the prize.

As courtships collapse, old enemies fall unexpectedly in love, estranged couples confront the past, and carefully hidden truths emerge, Aunt Becky's final scheme entangles the entire clan. Filled with romantic complications, family rivalries, second chances, and wonderfully observed human absurdity, A Tangled Web is L. M. Montgomery's witty and affectionate portrait of a family discovering that the most valuable inheritance may not be the one they expected.
