I’ll Be Seeing You

The Inheritance Of Solomon Farthing by Mary Paulson-Ellis is a contemporary and historical novel showing the legacy of war.

The novel is set in 1918 France and modern day Edinburgh. The reader sees the camaraderie between a group of soldiers. We see items and lives that link down the ages.

A modern day search for relatives reveals secrets that have been kept through the ages.

War alters people. There are different rules to play by.

The Inheritance Of Solomon Farthing was an epic read. I did not always follow the action but I think that is because I had an e-book. I recommend buying a paperback copy to be able to flick backwards to confirm links checking facts and action. It was a great read for the social historian in me.

I received this book for free. A favourable review was not required and all views expressed are my own.
