Short description

Unusually constructed, the first part of this book explains why an old lady left, in her Will, a single penny to somebody her family had never heard of. There follow four separate stories explaining the background to elements of the main story. It's an interesting and compellingly different way of telling a story.

Extended description

When an old lady dies and leaves a legacy of one penny to somebody neither her only son nor the family solicitor had ever heard of the son is intrigued. So he sets out to discover the background to that unusual legacy.
His discoveries throw up a fascinating, and very secret, story. Told in four separate but connected supporting stories, you'll learn how and why it all came about, and what the final, shocking outcome is.
As they unfold, these stories will take you from provincial England in the 1930s to war-torn Europe before a diversion to the afterlife and a final confrontation in modern-day England.
