Synopsis: With a dramatic
WWII love story woven throughout, JoAnn Ross's women’s fiction debut is a
generational saga full of sisterly affection and rivalry, perfect for
fans of Susan Wiggs, Mary Alice Monroe and Lisa Wingate.
When
conflict photographer Jackson Swann dies, he leaves behind a conflict
of his own making when his three daughters, each born to a different
mother, discover that they’re now responsible for the family’s Oregon
vineyard—and for a family they didn’t ask for.
After a successful career as a child TV star, Tess
is, for the first time in her life, suffering from a serious identity
crisis, and renewed resentment around losing her father all over again.
Charlotte,
brought up to be a proper Southern wife, gave up her own career to
support her husband's political ambitions. On the worst day of her life,
she discovers her beloved father has died, she has two sisters she
never knew about, and her husband has fallen in love with another woman.
Natalie,
daughter of Jack’s longtime mistress, has always known about her half
sisters. And she can’t help feeling that when Tess and Charlotte find
out, they’ll resent her for being the daughter their father kept.
As
the sisters reluctantly gather at the Maison de Madeleine to deal with
their father's final wishes, they become enchanted by the legacy they've
inherited, and by their grandmother’s rich stories of life in WWII
France and the wounded American soldier who would ultimately influence
all their lives. (Synopsis from Goodreads)
My Thoughts: I really enjoy these kinds of stories that involve family and a vast amount of drama. The Inheritance was a lot of fun to read.
I really enjoyed the dual timeline in this, which explores their grandmother's story. I liked that added extra of WWII France.
I also really liked how this was a story of sisters (or if you want to get technical, half-sisters), sisters that didn't really know anything about each other until recently. I liked how they really got to know each other through the course of the story. They were all dealing with different things in their lives, but this Oregon vineyard really helps them bond.
I enjoyed this book. I liked the family saga. I liked how it had a nice historical element to it. I liked how we got to see a family come together. It was a good reading time.
