This is the sequel to Legacy of Love. Caroline Harvey is really Joanna Trollope. I can't imagine why the marketing people give multiple names to authors. Perhaps it expands shelf occupancy, but the whiplash from duplicity of that kind costs them more than they apparently recognize.

This continues the saga of generations of English girls from the first volume, "Legacy of Love." One comes of age in 1960s London, and thankfully escapes. Her daughter grows up in a veritable Nirvana in the Scottish Highlands, and feels she must escape. This, alas, appears to occur in one form or another among the youth of today. But there it is. And Trollope/Harvey describes it well and engagingly.

These are not, strictly speaking, romance novels. But they come close, and come with an added dose of historical and geographical detail, the result being total enchantment of the reader, and provoking of thought in the reader. Recommended. ( )

Good character development but the story drags and is too predictable. ( )
