The Family Inheritance
Tricia Stringer
Reviewed by Helen
Another very well told story from Tricia Stringer, this author really knows how to dig deep into family and bring a story to her readers that is compelling and filled with all of the emotions, this one starts with a death and a will that will cause an explosion of feelings and hurts, can the woman that are part of this family work through this and find happiness again? Come along for the journey and meet Hazel, Alice, Felicity and Greta but don’t plan on doing anything else till the book is finished.
It is Felicity’s fiftieth birthday and she has worked hard to make sure the party is perfect in her fabulously renovated home, she has her husband Ian and daughter Greta by her side but things turn around when her father Franklyn dies changing everything, life as Felicity knows it is gone her world falls apart very quickly.
Hazel is Franklyn’s wife and Felicity and June’s mother and Franklyn’s death is leaving her very relieved instead of distraught like everyone would think. He has been a very hard man to live with for all of these years. When his will is read it is toxic to say the least and not only makes her realize what a bully he was but he destroys other lives as well.
Alice sees Franklyn’s death notice in the paper and finally she can try to make peace with her long lost sister Hazel, turning up at his funeral was maybe not the best thing to do but it was her only way to make contact and there are many truths and secrets that need to be uncovered for them to even think about a future.
Greta, Hazel’s beautiful granddaughter is engaged to Joe, she is caring and loving and when the family explodes as it does she is there to play peacemaker and do her best to keep the family together through some very hard times, can hearts be mended after the way they have been broken, can they once again become a loving happy family?
I loved this story from start to finish four strong woman whose lives are turned upside down and I loved getting to know them as I turned the pages, the emotions flowed happy, sad, anger all of them, there were happy tears as well, MS Stringer has a beautiful voice for story- telling and this is one that I would highly recommend, a beautiful story, another one for the keeper shelf.
My thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for my copy to read and review.
