Inheritance by Nicholas Shakespeare
Pressured to sign the register, little does he realise what effect that signature will have upon his life. The extraordinary story that follows tells of one man's failed love, the temptations of unanticipated wealth, the secrets of damaged families and the price of being true to oneself.
One of our best and truest novelists * The Times *
Enviably good -- Louis de Bernières * Sunday Times *
Thoughtful and beautifully observed.. Never predictable, this novel combines a remarkable narrative force with the lightest of touches. A book to savour and pass on * The Economist *
Utterly absorbing and enjoyable...a romance which moves with assurance from wild improbability to a reconciliation with things as they may truly be * Scotsman *
Completely riveting and very funny indeed. Shakespeare at his empathetic best, as he mines the fragile seam of our desire to be loved for who we are * Sunday Telegraph *
