Synopsis
A novel of consummate dramatic sweep and emotional force, BIRTHRIGHT is the story of a brilliant woman locked with her treacherous father in a bitter contest for control of the world's most legendary banking house and of her love for the two men who hold the keys to her mysterious past. Historical, romantic fiction at its best.Reared in the splendid excess of her family's London home and country estate; blessed with beauty and a precocious intelligence that has already captured the eye of her empire-building grandfather, Deborah de Kronenegold has everything, or so it seems. But her childhood equilibrium is shattered when she discovers that she is adopted, and when she becomes the object of her father Leslie's malevolence. Upon the deaths of her grandfather Samuel and her lovely and ill-fated mother Madeleine--and the mysterious disappearance of the will naming Deborah Samuel's principal heir--Leslie sets in motion a series of shocking and irrevocable events. Deborah is turned out, and with nothing but her resolve to claim her birthright, she moves to New York, and starts to build a financial empire to rival her father's--and to bring him down.BIRTHIGHT contains a constellation of passionate love there is Bash, Deborah's first love, whose heritage forbids him what he most desires; and David, who offers Deborah wealth and security and adoration--but at a terrible price. Finally, there is the story of another love affair--set in distant war-torn Italy, which unlocks the secret of Deborah's birthright.As played out against the glamorous world of international finance, and set in the boardrooms of London, Paris, and New York, in sumptuous townhouses, chateaus, and penthouses, and in Italy and in modern Israel, BIRTHRIGHT cuts a grand and satisfying swath. It is a triumph of the unexpected that will hold the reader captivated right up to its surprising conclusion.INCLUDES AN EXCERPT FROM JOSEPH AMIEL'S NOVEL "DEEDS."

A novel of dramatic sweep and emotional force, this story follows a brilliant woman locked in a bitter contest for control of a legendary banking house with her treacherous father, while navigating her love for two men connected to her mysterious past. Raised in the lavish excess of her family's London estate, Deborah de Kronenegold seems to have it all--beauty, intelligence, and her grandfather's favor. However, her world is upended upon discovering her adoption and her father's malevolence. Following the deaths of her grandfather and mother, and the mysterious disappearance of her inheritance, Leslie orchestrates shocking events that lead to Deborah's expulsion. Determined to claim her birthright, she moves to New York to build a financial empire to rival her father's and seeks revenge. The narrative weaves in passionate love stories, including her first love Bash, whose heritage complicates their connection, and David, who offers wealth and security at a steep cost. Another love affair set in war-torn Italy reveals the secrets of Deborah's origins. Against the backdrop of international finance and opulent settings across London, Paris, New York, and Israel, the story captivates with unexpected twists leading to a surprising conclusion.
