Tangled Web by Lucy Maud Montgomery (1989, Paperback, Reprint)

I bought this book because I love L.M. Montgomery's other books. I have read and re-read the Anne series. In each book or collection of her short stories you are both entertained and given insight into the human psyche.

In this book a family tradition of marriage between the Darks and Penhallows is set on it's ears. When Aunt Beck is on her "death bed" she reveals in revealing family secrets and each person's biggest "shame". There is a huge fight over who gets the family jug, an heirloom brought from overseas by one of the first Penhallow/Dark women. The "fight" over the family jug breaks one match while promoting another unlikely one, causes a women who left her husband on thier wedding night to be reconciled and many other happenings to occur. The big night when who will get the jug finally arrives - who will get the prized heirloom? you'll have to read the book to find out. This book is humorous, poignant and presents a dozen morales along the way.

If you liked other books by L.M. Montgomery, you'll be enchanted with this novel.

I read the other reviews for this seller and hoped that I would be one of the good ones...however, this was my first ebay purchase and I am still awaiting delivery. I paid for the book on July 6th through paypal and it says that it was sent on the 9th, but I have not received it as of today. I am very disappointed. I have tried to contact the seller by have gotten no reply. It is really too bad that my first experience on ebay has had this result!
