This mesmerising novel by megaselling author Danielle Steel transcends centuries and continents, taking us from present-day Boston to the wilds of 18th century South Dakota and the glittering palaces of Louis XVI.
Brigitte Nicholson is a 38-year-old academic stuck in a dead-end job and unsatisfying relationship. Her life becomes strangely linked to that of Wachiwi, the young daughter of a great Dakota Sioux from the late 18th century. Stolen from her tribe by a raiding property, Wachiwi went on to become a marquise in the court of Louis XVI.
A wonderful follow-up to Family Ties and One Day At A Time, Legacy is an unforgettable story of two women who are courageous in the face of the unknown.
