Description
As the sun rose higher in the sky there was nothing to suggest that 23rd July 1932 was to be anything other than the most ordinary of days.
But, for Grace Hardie, this one day changes everything.
Grace Hardie has been happy in her family home of Greystones. Alongside her mother and brother, she lives a quiet life of sculpting. But her beloved Greystones is beginning to show signs of neglect. Unable to afford the maintenance of the sprawling estate, Grace begins to worry about who will care for her birthright when she’s gone.
That is until one sunny day in July when four uninvited visitors come to call. Will these guests bring trouble and heartache to Greystones or provide the solitary Grace with happiness and love
Filled with old friends and new faces, The Hardie Inheritance is the final instalment in the Hardie Family Series.

Refreshing take on the theme of impoverished gentility with the usual family tensions , romantic relationships, money issues around the time of WW2.
Story is well paced and well written with interesting characters and storylines you want to follow. No long pages of war battles, suffering , romantic angst , self pity, sentimentality which can spoil many of these books.
Characters were believable and realistic with the focus on several strong female characters.
Overall a very enjoyable read. I believe it part three of a trilogy but I read it as a stand-alone , will now read the previous two books.
Highly recommended.
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the book in exchange for a review.

A good historical fiction, well written and entertaining.
I liked the well thought cast of characters, the well crafted and engrossing plot and the historical background.
I was happy to discover a new to me author and will surely look for other books by this writer.
Recommended.
Many thanks to Agora Books and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

Even tho this is book three in a series which I hadn’t read the previous ones. I had no trouble following the story. It was well written with an interesting story line. I do think the last half of the book was the most interesting and I flew through the book. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the early copy

I loved this book, loved the story and loved the way it was written.
A story of family, problems reflected of the era, friends, relationships in all their forms and of course inheritance.
Grace was given a home by her grandfather which she loved, she was a loner, an old maid (according to the times) and an artist. Things we take for granted now where not the norm but Grace seemed to deal with life the best she could.
This story was her story but the other characters where all fantastic and formed the core of this tale. It was written with 'grace' and although there was tales of controversy she was able to tell the story of these without the crudeness used by some authors which I enjoyed.
