For the first time in Russian, one of Canada’s best-known “adult” novels by Lucy Maud Montgomery—author of popular books about little Anne from Green Gables! On Prince Edward Island, the honored matriarch of two old families, the Darks and the Penhallows, was unanimously recognized by everyone as Aunt Becky. At eighty-five, this woman knew every secret and was accustomed to saying only what she thought, without caring how others felt. One day, Aunt Becky gathered representatives from both clans to announce her final will. Naturally, everyone came, because on the island there was no person who did not dream of getting her ancient pitcher—the chief relic of the Darks and the Penhallows, surrounded by a romantic aura. However, Aunt Becky’s bequest threw everyone into confusion; more importantly, it stirred up the island’s calm life and set the stage for astonishing stories, where there is room for betrayal, mercy, friendship, envy, and, of course, true love.
