The Executor by Margaret Oliphant

Uma narrativa pequena mas muito intrigante, que nos mostra como a sociedade pode ser hipócrita e preconceituosa, e como o "ter" vale mais do que o "ser". Gostei.

A sweet story and a great start to the Carlingford series. Mrs Thompson makes an unexpected will that sends waves through the small community and redirects the course of several lives. This is a four chapter novella so i can't say much more because of spoilers but I really enjoyed it and I definitely recommend reading it.

On the death of old Mrs Thomson the next of kin are shocked to discover via a new will the existence of a daughter, Phoebe, who inherits all including £20,000. How does this affect their futures.
An enjoyable short prequel to the Carlingford series.
