The Inheritance

In the wake of their father's recent death, Ulrika, Andrea and Rasmus gather in their childhood home to celebrate their mother's birthday. Middle sister Andrea is keen to form the same tight-knit bond that her older sister Ulrika has always shared with their mother. It doesn't seem to matter how much of an effort she makes, she still feels left out. Ulrika though instead sees a little sister who's had everything in life, been the apple of their father's eye and always got her own way - yet still never seem satisfied. Their much younger brother Rasmus has in turn lived his whole life in the shadow of his sisters' incessant fight for attention and validation.

When it emerges that several items have mysteriously gone missing from the childhood home, everything is brought to a head. Three vastly differing childhood experiences clash. But who really owns the narrative of a childhood? Which key events have some of them been kept in the dark about? Can you always trust your memories? And what do we truly owe our siblings?

From the bestselling author of The Divorce, in The Inheritance, Moa Herngren once again skillfully explores the dramatic breakdown of relationships from opposing perspectives.
