Lancashire Legacy

The Lancashire Settlers #2

by Anna Jacobs

At eighteen Cathie longs for more than life as a settler in the Australian bush. She accepts her uncle's offer to send her to England and runs away from her family, not realising he is using her to get revenge on his sister Liza. Attacked at the docks in Liverpool, Cathie takes refuge with the man who saved her, a man who has his own troubles. But as she slowly regains her memory and meets her Lancashire relatives, she must confront the legacy of her mother's past. And even in 1876, the same wealthy families who forced her mother to leave Lancashire are still powerful enough to threaten Cathie's happiness and safety, as well as that of anyone close to her.

Not as good as book #1. Tried to get into it, but halfway through, I lost interest, and struggled to finish.

[Kathy E · Rating 5 out of 5]

After finishing the first one in this series Lancashire Lass, I could not wait to start Lancashire Legacy following the characters of Liza, Ben and their family. This book I could not put down and recommend it. Anna Jacobs cannot fail to disappoint.

[Is a Bell · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the sequel to Lacashire lass. At first, as I hadn't read the first volume, it was a little difficult for me to find my way around the multitude of characters and their turbulent pasts. However, the essentials for getting to grips with the story are detailed as the adventures of the heroine and her family unfold, and I was quickly swept along.
The personalities of the protagonists make them endearing, even if they are not on the side of the good guys at first.
Living conditions in the Australian outback and in industrial England are well described, giving us an insight into the period (1876). What's more, the landscapes of Australia are dreamlike.
Anna Jacobs has already written several sagas on the same theme. Her writing is fluid and, although there are no surprises, the suspense is skilfully maintained and makes you want to read the 500 pages without stopping.
