Book description
>
Vividly depicted, and moving to the last, this trilogy is an example of
regional fiction at its finest. Speaking of the reason for the work,
Bentley wrote that it is a story of "decency and integrity, courage
and compassion... passed down the generations; we are always the heirs
of the past and begetters of the future ages. It will be seen that this
thought is the meaning of the title Inheritance. It is not material
wealth which is meant, but a spiritual heritage."I>.Filmed by
Granada in 1967, the Inheritance trilogy is Phyllis Bentley s most
widely acclaimed work. Set against the backdrop of the textile industry
in the West Riding of Yorkshire, the trilogy chronicles the lives of
several families over 153 trouble-torn years, from the Luddite riots of
1812 to the death of Sir Winston Churchill in 1965.Inheritance
