Rent A Legacy

Synopsis

Bedford's autobiographical novel of love and loss is centered on three German families at the beginning of the 20th century. The Merzes are wealthy Berlin Jews; the Feldens are cultured, old-fashioned intellectuals; the Bernins are flashy and ambitious Catholics from the south. The story is told through the eyes of Francesca, whose father, Julius Felden, married into the Merz family. A LEGACY, which charts a period during which monumental changes were occurring in Europe, is a classic of early modern literature.
