THEY HAD ALL COME FOR THE TILSIT INHERITANCE.. When Virginia left for England, she did not know then that she had become the new Tilsit heiress. Nor did she know that this new-found life of wealth and luxury would turn instead into an awesome and terrifying burden. Lawrence had once dreamed of the inheritance. A man hungry and ambitious for success. A man who found only mockery and ruin at the Tilsit house. And there was the beautiful and sensuous Vanessa, whose life of worldly pleasure came crashing down when she, too, entered the ancestral home. Finally there was Mark. The man Virginia loved and wanted but could not have-for he was already possessed by Tilsit. THE TILSIT INHERITANCE-a story of a house and its family, both cursed by a mysterious and dark secret. A secret that would destroy everything and everyone if it were not destroyed first. "ROMANCE, ADVENTURE, ATMOSPHERE... EXCEPTIONALLY FINE."
Intriguing, but dull

The Tilsit Inheritance is the story of an extremely wealthy (and dysfunctional) family named Tilsit. The Tilsits have owned a major china company for years, and it has always been owned by a woman. When the owner Isobel abruptly dies, she leaves her company to the only surviving female Tilsit, a young woman named Ginny. Through the late Isobel's diaries and writings, Ginny soon learns of Isobel's obsession with the china company, and how her power influenced everyone, even after her death. Ginny is soon forced to leave a lifestyle and man she is falling in love with, for what she believes is the "right" decision for herself. The Tilsit family in this book is very intriguing, and I had a hard time putting this novel down. However, at some points, the book seemed to be about "who Ginny will be dating next" than the Tilsit family itself. However captivating the plot may be, the characters are dull and seem grossly out of place in the book. I recommend this book for anyone craving an intense plot, but is prepared for a disappointing ending.
