The Legacy by Katherine Webb

The Legacy by Katherine Webb

"A brilliant and absorbing drama."

--Good Housekeeping (UK)

A fresh and exciting new voice in contemporary fiction, Katherine Webb debuts with a haunting novel about a secret family history. Already a sensation in the United Kingdom, Webb's The Legacy is a treat for every fan of upmarket women's fiction and literary suspense in the vein of bestselling authors Kate Morton, Sarah Waters, and Diane Setterfield. Taut, affecting, and surprising--a story that ranges from present-day England back to the American West in the early twentieth century--The Legacy embroils two sisters in an investigation into the strange, never solved disappearance of their cousin, a dark mystery that opened deep family wounds that never healed.

Katherine Webb grew up in the English county of Hampshire. She has lived in London and Venice, and she now calls Berkshire, England home. She now works full-time as a writer after working as a waitress, au pair, personal assistant, potter, bookbinder, library assistant, and housekeeper at a manor house.
