About this book

It's the Dark family vs. the Penhallows in this daring and witty, sarcastic and sentimental novel by the author of Anne of Green Gables. What Will Two Feuding Families Do To Win?

One woman will lose her fiancé. Two enemies since childhood will inexplicably come together. And a couple mysteriously separated on their wedding night ten years before will find a second chance at love. Then comes the night when Aunt Becky's wishes will be revealed...and the family is in for the biggest surprise of all. What Readers are Saying: "Next to Anne of Green Gables, [it's] one of the books I've re-read the most times. I've always loved this and considered it the best of Montgomery's standalone books." "Superb. Absolutely superb. The characters live and step right off the page, leaving me thinking about them after I've closed the book." "Classic L.M. Montgomery. Lots of fun characters doing crazy things and then gossiping about it to anyone who will listen. Loved it!"
