Book Overview
Over the years sixty members of the Dark family and sixty Penhallows have married one another--but not without their share of fighting and feuding. Now Aunt Becky, the eccentric old matriarch of the clan, has bequeathed her prized possession: a legendary heirloom jug. But the name of the jug's new owner will not be revealed for one year. In the next twelve months beautiful Gay Penhallow's handsome fiance Noel Gibson leaves her for sly and seductive Nan Penhallow; reckless Peter Penhallow and lovely Donna Dark, who have hated each other since childhood, are inexplicably brought together by the jug; Hugh and Joscelyn Dark, separated on their wedding night ten years ago for reasons never revealed, find a second chance--all watched over by the mysterious Moon Man, who has the gift of second sight. Then comes the night when Aunt Becky's wishes will be revealed...and the family is in for the biggest surprise of all.

One of my favorite books

This book is a study in the human race. It always makes me laugh.
Montgomery's Funniest
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This book along with Blue Castle is tied for my favorite L.M. Montgomery book. The old aunt is hilarious. Other characters are original and generally sympathetic. Everyone will be able to say "I have a relative just like that". Overall, a sweet, romantic, humorous book with a happy ending.
A must read for all Montgomery fans
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I love the way there were a bunch of stories woven into one book. Peter & Donna, the Sams, (the plot of that story was in "Along the Shore")Hugh & Joscelyn, and all the others. This book was Montgomery at her best!
