Following Jon' s death, his three adult children gather in their childhood home by the sea. But far from being united in grief, the siblings are divided by the contents of their father' s will, which states that they must decide together how to dispose of his estate before he can be laid to rest. Liv, Noah and Chloe have never agreed on anything. And now, with one weekend to overcome their rivalry, tensions soon begin to rise and boil over. Why would Jon do this to his family? Was he a cruel man or simply a mischief-maker? Perhaps he wanted to teach them a lesson from beyond the grave? But if so, what is it? And will they be able to put their differences aside long enough to learn it?
There is a raw realism to all of Caroline Bond' s novels. This latest, The Legacy, reminds us that sometimes it' s the loss of a loved one that gives us newfound appreciation for family, and for choices we previously couldn' t understand. Redemptive and satisfying. * Carol Mason * What an astute and thoughtful writer Caroline Bond is. Exposing the dynamics of a family struggling to regroup after bereavement rings blisteringly true. * Elizabeth Buchan * A beautifully crafted exploration of family resentments and vulnerability. Caroline Bond writes with a keen eye for human frailty, bringing her characters vividly to life, flaws and all. * Charity Norman * Caroline Bond has a gift for weaving heart-rending tales of impossible decisions and The Forgotten Sisteris no exception. A beautifully written story that will stay with me for quite some time. Would I have made the same choices? -- Amanda Brooke on ' The Forgotten Sister' A deftly written novel [and] a moving exploration of love between sisters and the tangled, often complex emotions that exist in families. -- Madeleine Reiss on ' The Forgotten Sister' Caroline Bond takes a complex situation and has written a thoughtful, wrenching and, at times, tear-jerking novel. -- Elizabeth Buchan on ' The Second Child'
