LEGACY FROM YESTERYEAR By Victoria Trout and Penelope WestEighteen year old Margaret Wentworth lost both her parents now with all her heartache only to be told she has to leave for London to live with family who she has never met before. Meeting James Cunningham, son of the Duke of Sommerville is very helpful to Meg and has taken a great liking to her. There is power of family in the novel where no decisions can be made without approvals. The story is set in the 1800 English era where family was prim and proper with values in life. Meg finds a journal in which Serena writes to tell her future heiress of the existence of the jewels hidden around the estate. This journal gives a clue to the location of the first of the jewels with the indication that another clue will be found to assist in the locating of the next jewel. Beautifully written, an engaging storyline and admirable characters. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and recommend it to readers who enjoy love and mystery with flow and excitement, leaving suspense still to be continued. Anna O
