Recently Read – The Legacy

Although I’ve read several good books lately, it’s been a few since there was one I really didn’t want to put down. I’ve found that in the book I’m reading now – The Legacy.  The story jumps back and forth between a young woman in 1902 who gives up her New York refined life for an Oklahoma cattle ranch; and two sisters in current day who inherit an English manor house.  Seemingly no connection at first, but we soon learn the young woman from 1902 is the great grandmother of the two sisters.  How she goes from Oklahoma, to being a lady of the manor, holds secrets that are somehow entwined with the secret of a young boy (cousin of the sisters) who goes missing when as children they were all visiting the manor. At the very end, I found one of the secrets horrifying, and the other left me slightly disappointed as I though it weakened the book.  Overall though, a great read.
