'Absorbing, compelling and completely unputdownable, every Lulu Taylor novel grips you to the very end' Lisa Jewell
IS WHAT WE INHERIT A BLESSING . . . OR A CURSE?
The Carrington family is blessed with good looks, brains and talent - and far more than their fair share of money. The business acumen of an eighteenth-century ancestor has blossomed into an empire in which generations have played their part and taken their share.
But the family is also cursed - pursued by drama, addiction and bad fortune. These things poison their world, each generation handing down its problems to the next. Can the cycle ever be stopped?
In A Legacy of Secrets we meet the beautiful but wounded Flick Templeton and her daughter Etta. Flick's quest is to find an identity apart from her mother, and to find the man who can love her for herself, not her money or name. For Etta, it is surviving her own and her mother's pain, and discovering the answer to the question: who is my father?
Seen through the eyes of Flick, and then her daughter Etta, the story is told alternately through their changing perspectives over the years, as the drama unfolds and secrets are revealed . . .
Full of glamour, drama and the peaks and troughs of fortune, A Legacy of Secrets is the unmissable new novel from Lulu Taylor.
