4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 289 ratings
Another absorbing instalment of the Howarth family saga! For fans of Nadine Dorries, Maeve Binchy, Freda Lightfoot and Dilly Court.

How far will William go to realise his ambitions?

Lancashire, 1815



Wealthy and successful, the ironmaster William Howarth wishes to continue expanding his industrial empire across Wyndendale Valley.

To aid his vision, he hires Cornishman Hal Vivian — a young engineer with ambition and talent to rival the ironmaster’s.

Their stormy partnership seems set to transform the lives of William’s family and the inhabitants of the valley.

And there is more than fame and fortune in store for Hal. When the ironmaster’s daughter sets out to win his heart, he must decide where his happiness lies…

The Vivian Inheritance is the third book in The Brief Chronicles, a gripping family saga set in rural Lancashire during the Industrial Revolution.

    I didn’t feel like the story dragged, and it was more about the family than the times. But you got a good sense of the times too, and made me feel nostalgic somehow. I almost didn’t continue with the series after the second book, but I’m glad I did.

    While not up to the entertainment value of the first 2 books, it was still a satisfying read. I guess I enjoy books that discuss the interactions of the characters more than the development of a railroad. Looking forward to seeing what the next years bring about in the family's lives.
