A Second Legacy

"[Trollope's] characters will draw you in and on." (Seattle Times)

"[Trollope has] a remarkable ability to penetrate her characters' humanity." (The Washington Post)

In Joanna Trollope's latest Caroline Harvey historical novel two generations of remarkable women encounter romance and adventure from war-torn Kabul to a crumbling castle in Scotland.

For her vividly detailed settings, memorable characters, complex family dramas, and passion, Joanna Trollope has been called "a master" of historical fiction (Kirkus Reviews). A Second Legacy follows the descendants of Legacy of Love as a mother and daughter confront their own far different destinies.

Behind Alexia Langley stands the legacy of three remarkable and indomitable women. But Alexia, nervous and shy, is totally unsuited to the freewheeling, miniskirted swinging London of the 1960sâ€”and not particularly good at anything but cooking. Betrayed by a greedy husband, she is forced to carve out a new life with her baby, Carlyâ€”and it is only the gift of a crumbling family castle in Scotland that unlocks her hidden strength. Later, it is Carly who, spurred by an ancestral diary, will retrace a journey to Afghanistan and bring the legacy of bravery, tragedy, and love full circle to where it began a century and a half before.
