"I found The Unexpected Heiress unputdownable. I enjoyed the story of Abe’s dysfunctional family and agony in naming a successor after finding out about his cancer. It certainly had many surprise moments and did not shy away from sexual choices, family drama and intrigue. I loved feeling a part of the iconic lifestyle of the Sydney Eastern Suburbs, including the morning runs, restaurants and country stays that were easy to relate to. Looking forward to the sequel.

The Unexpected Heiress transcends time and weaves horrors of World War II with present-day challenges. From Abe's harrowing past to Ellie's contemporary struggles, an embittered brother, a vacuous globetrotting socialite mother, and the betrayal of a much-loved kid brother, the novel paints a vivid portrait of a family divided by loyalties, lies and the enduring power of love. This novel has things that people will enjoy, as it shines a light on what it is like to come from a family legacy and have it fall on your shoulders, and the need to fight to keep it, the desire to shine a light on the different ways people are discriminated against by people who know them and people who don't.
