About this listen

In the bitter winter of 2009, following the death of their grandmother, Erica Calcott and her sister Beth return to Storton Manor, a grand and imposing Wiltshire house where they spent their summer holidays as children.

When Erica begins to sort through her grandmother's belongings, she is flooded with memories of her childhood - and of her cousin, Henry, whose disappearance from the manor tore the family apart. Erica sets out to discover what happened to Henry - so that the past can be laid to rest, and her sister, Beth, might finally find some peace.

Gradually, as Erica begins to sift through remnants of the past, a secret family history emerges; one that stretches all the way back to turn-of-the-century Oklahoma, to a beautiful society heiress and a haunting, savage land. As past and present converge, Erica and Beth must come to terms with two terrible acts of betrayal - and the heart-breaking legacy left behind.

The Legacy is an unforgettable, deeply satisfying story that will stay with you long after the last page has been turned.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Legacy to be better than the print version?

I did not read the print version so I cannot compare print vs. audio.

If you’ve listened to books by Katherine Webb before, how does this one compare?

Nor had I listened to any of Katherine Webb's books before

Have you listened to any of Clare Wille’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I enjoyed Clare Wille's narration of this book, her voice is clear and pleasant, she switched smoothly between characters.

Any additional comments?

The story was a good one, however, I think I would have enjoyed reading each woman's story separately as (ie Book 1 and Book 2 of a series) There was a lot of information to cover in such a short amount of time. I was totally fascinated by Caroline and Corrin's (sp) story and would have liked to hear more detail about them.

Thought-provoking story and a bit melancholy...

I am battling every second of this book. Have progressed to part 2 where an inkling of what may have transpired is just coming to light. The narrator occasionally confuses which character she is relating but overall gives a good narration. The author's time changes are a bit difficult to follow. This is not a "casual" listening book. Hoping the ending is more satisfying than part 1.

Tedious
