Following on from the dramatic foundations laid out in the The Legacy, comes the thrilling sequel, The Talisman, from bestselling screenwriter and author Lynda La Plante.
For each new generation, the Talisman is the key to a fortune.

Edward, who inherits his father's looks . . . and his curse. Alex, his brother, whose quest for revenge will fuel an empire built on corruption. Evelyne and Juliana, the fourth generation, are still haunted by the family's past.

From the miseries of the war years to the glamorous present, in London, America and South Africa, Lynda La Plante continues the bestselling saga that began with The Legacy. The passionate story of a family's lives and fortunes and the curse that forged their names . . .
For the first time ever, The Talisman is available in audio, giving listeners a fresh way to experience the drama, momentum, and character-driven depth of this early masterwork. It's a vivid reminder that even at the very beginning of her career, Lynda La Plante was crafting stories with true epic force.

Another brilliant book. There is no one better than this author. This has to be one of my all time favourites. The legacy was good and this continuation was as good if not better than the first. I am always fascinated by the authors knowledge of everything and the actual historical facts that she builds her story around.

Absolutely gripping but sad
