Told from the eyes of three different women, in three different time periods, “Legacy of Love traces” the story of one family’s passions. Charlotte is the first—wildly beautiful and wildly frustrated—she married her soldier husband solely to escape from the claustrophobic respectability of Victorian life in Richmond, England. When she reaches the British lines in Kabul she is bewitched by the exotic world of Afghanistan—and by Alexander Bewick, the scandalous adventurer who arouses an instant response in her heart. As bloodshed and misery crumble Kabul, Charlotte is forced to choose between her devoted husband and her reckless lover. Always shadowed by her legendary grandmother Charlotte, Alexandra has been raised by resentful mother in a gloomy Scottish castle. Can she find the strength to reach out and create a life of her own? Filled with the wilderness, passion and also the selfishness of her great—grandmother Charlotte, Cara smolders with resentment over the care of her crippled mother. As the tragedies of World War II slowly erode her life, she discovers she has also inherited Charlotte’s courage—a courage that will eventually bring her happiness.
