For the first time in Russian, one of the most famous "adult" novels by Canadian writer Lucy Maud Montgomery, author of popular books about the girl Anna from Green Gables!On Prince Edward Island, Aunt Becky was unanimously recognized as the honorary head of the two ancient Dark and Penhallow families. This eighty-five-year-old woman knew all the secrets, and she was used to saying only what she thought, regardless of other people's feelings. One day, Aunt Becky gathered representatives of both clans to announce her last will. Of course, everyone came to the meeting, because there was no one on the island who would not dream of getting her antique jug, the main relic of the Dark and Penhallows, surrounded by a romantic halo. However, Aunt Becky's will confused everyone, and most importantly, it stirred up a quiet life on the island and marked the beginning of amazing stories in which there was a place for betrayal, mercy, friendship, envy and, of course, genuine love.
