  More ambitious than anything else Caro Fraser has ever written, An Inheritance spans some twenty years in the hero's life. Like her other novels, it revolves around quarrels about money in families, legal wrangles, and is brilliantly astute about modern life and love, which Fraser perceives as a game of snakes and ladders, in which there is no such thing as happily ever after.
