Summary

Childless Maeve Corrigan, though rich and successful, is dying of cancer. She wants to leave her business empire to one of the offspring of her two estranged brothers, Des and Leo. But which young relative should she choose? Des has four children, and he is overstretched financially. Leo is the unambitious owner of a hardware store in a remote Australian town and has two children.

As the younger generation begin to gather around Maeve, old secrets are revealed, new allegiances made, and there are surprises for each member of the family. It soon becomes clear that the Corrigan legacy is not what it first appears.

Totally Absorbing

Loved this book, from start to finish, one of Anna Jacobs best.

Especially the inclusion of M E, a debilitating illness that I myself have…

Another great book by Anna Jacobs

Love the m.e./cfs parts of this book it gives a true reflection of the illness that is still not well treated. Can’t wait for my next Anna Jacobs story.

Hope the Legacy continues !

Really enjoyed listening to this audio book , I was quite gripped and never wanted it to end .
It was well read and very enjoyable.
Like most it was a bit of a predictable ending but this didn’t detract .

Horrible writing

I started this without any particular expectations, but immediately there is exposition at every turn. Information arrives in awkward chunks. The writing just seemed so amateur and the characters so unreal. The first confrontation between the husband and wife, about his desire to have revenge on his sister, had no subtlety. That's when I decided I have so many books to listen to, I don't need to spend time with anything I don't enjoy, so I gave up. I have no idea if the story is any good because the writing has driven me away.
