"Inheritance" in this novel is not what readers may assume it is; there’r nothing to do with
physical assets.
When
Annie Devereaux’s husband suddenly dies she then has the opportunity to follow
her wildest dreams. She leaves New York
and moves to London with no plan but to live like the Brits do.
Shortly
after her arrival, she meets Julian and moves in with him. As their relationship
drags on, he becomes more and more abusive.
Then
the narrative shifts. Annie has made friends with Julian’s sister, Isabel.
While this section is mostly about Isabel, reads get to learn more about what
makes Julian Julian.
The
narrative shifts again, but I didn’t get it.
I’m not sure where the author was going, or even what she was talking
about. Section Three did not tie into Sections One and Two, leaving me lost and
dazed. Therefore, “Inheritance” receives 2 out of 5 stars
in Julie’s world.
