Katherine Webb’s debut novel The Legacy came out in the UK last year and was a huge hit and was the winner of Channel 4s TV Book Club. It’s coming out in the US on August 30th 2011 and I’m just wondering which cover you guys like best. The American cover is on the right, the UK one on the left. I liked the UK one when I saw it, but the US one is miles better. I know they’re very similar with the photographs, but the colouring on the US one is just really impressive and that’s the one I’d buy. How about you?

When they were children, Erica Calcott and her sister, Beth, spent their summer holidays at Storton Manor. Now, following the death of their grandmother, they have returned to the grand, imposing house in Wiltshire, England. Unable to stem the tide of childhood memories that arise as she sorts through her grandmother’s belongings, Erica thinks back to the summer her cousin Henry vanished mysteriously from the estate, an event that tore their family to pieces. It is time, she believes, to lay the past to rest, bring her sister some peace, and finally solve the mystery of her cousin’s disappearance. But sifting through remnants of a bygone time is bringing a secret family history to light—one that stretches back over a century, to a beautiful society heiress in Oklahoma, a haunting, savage land across the ocean. And as past and present converge, Erica and Beth must come to terms with two shocking acts of betrayal . . . and the heartbreaking legacy they left behind.
