About the book
It all begins with Great Aunt Becky and her infamous prized possession: a legendary heirloom jug. After her death, everyone wants it. But the name of the new owner will not be revealed for one year ... Over the next twelve months, scandals, quarrels and love affairs abound within the Dark and Penhallow clans - with the jug at the centre of it all. Engagements are broken; lifelong mutual hatred blossoms into romance; lovers separated years ago are reunited. But then comes the night that the eccentric matriarch's wishes will be revealed - and both families are in for the biggest surprise of them all.
