Valency escapes the clutches of her overbearing family when she is diagnosed with a terminal illness and finds solace in her new friendships and new surroundings.  A Tangled Web; originally published in 1931; is a tale that follows two intertwined families through a year of heartbreak and hilarity in a scramble to acquire a family heirloom. When Rebecca Dark realises she is dying; she invites her extended family to one of her usual gatherings to inform them of her departure. After the shocking revelations of her will; a competition ensues between the rival family members.   Lucy Maud Montgomery was born on 30th November 1874; New London; in the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island. Her mother; Clara Woolner (Macneil); died before Lucy reached the age of two and so she was raised by her maternal grandparents in a family of wealthy Scottish immigrants. In 1908 Montgomery produced her first full-length novel; titled 'Anne of Green Gables'. It was an instant success; and following it up with several sequels; Montgomery became a regular on the best-seller list and an international household name.  Montgomery died in Toronto on 24th April 1942.","brand":"Read Books Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47161871433968,"sku":"9781473344877","price":6.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781473344877_p0.jpg?v=1763600087","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781473344877","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
