What is the nature of: The Family Inheritance (Tricia Stringer)

I recently “discovered” Australian author Tricia Stringer. This has been part of my exploring and reading women’s fiction by several Australian authors including Sophie Green, Maya Linnell, and Sandie Docker.

The Family Inheritance is the second book that I have read and enjoyed by Ms. Stringer. It might be a little predictable at times but it offered exactly the kind of escape that I was wanting. At over 400 pages, I got to spend lots of time with the characters.

This is the story of three generations of women and the many family and friends who surround them. In the oldest generation readers meet Hazel and Alice. They are sisters with both ties and secrets. Next is Felicity-what is her connection to both Hazel and Alice? Then, in the youngest generation, meet Greta.

The relationships of each of these women to the men in their lives is one significant thread of the book. Each considers what has happened to them and what they want for their future.

Will these characters find their peace and happier endings by the end of the book? Read this one to find out.

By the way, Stringer has a novel coming out in October 2025. I will be purchasing it.
