[Jeff Sexton]

Solid Women's Fiction With Historical Elements. This is one of those books where the description perfectly sets up what you're actually getting here - a tale of siblings finding each other after their father passes away and sets in motion a plan for the three of them to meet. Along the way, they discover their still-living grandmother and get to hear the stories of her activities in WWII - including meeting and falling in love with their grandfather. On these elements, this is a solidly written women's fiction tale with historical fiction *elements* - but I personally would not market this as a "historical fiction" title. So if you're a reader that *only* reads historical fiction... I'd still say this one is worthy of your time, just know that you aren't getting a true tale of that genre here. Indeed, along the story of one of the sisters in particular (and to a lesser extent another of them), this *could* be marketed as a romance - though the women's fiction side is still the dominant side of the tale. The titular Inheritance? Well, that's actually the best part of the tale... when you realize what Ross intends it as. Overall a strong book filled with strongly developed characters among is main and primary supporting cast, and a very well told story. Very much recommended.
