Heredity Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

New Yorker Elizabeth Mann travels to London on a travel writing assignment. Little does she know that her ultimate discoveries will be far more captivating than the happenings at Buckingham Palace. Combining elements of "Girl, Interrupted" and A.S. Byatt's "Possession, Heredity" is both a deadpan detective story and a twisted historical romance.
