About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of John Marchmont's Legacy, by Mary Elizabeth Braddon. "Like Wuthering Heights, the center of this story is a dramatic love triangle, the setting is a huge English manor. Olivia Marchmont has always "done her duty." However, when she falls in love and her beloved is in love with another woman, the malice of her heart is released in full view. In this dramatic tale, the vivid description of the country is also important- as if nature has a part in it. Unlike many novels, nobody gets what they deserve at the end. Or do they? Read and decide for yourself." (Summary by Stav Nisser)
