Whatever you have you pass it down, father to son, son to daughter. Everything is an inheritance. You pass it down like wisdom or a good heart or the colour of your eyes...But it's only natural. You bestow the fruits of your labour on your children that they may build on your glories and inspire future generations. Isn't that what families are for? This is Stuart's happy belief as he steps down from the business he's put his working life into and looks forward to semi-retirement. Rachel, his bright, hard-working daughter - hungry for opportunity - is his anointed successor. Oscar, Stuart's stepson - a dreadlocked New Age nomad who arrives home with a dog on a string - has less exalted prospects. But when Rachel's ambition threatens to unravel the family enterprise and Oscar's biological father dies leaving a troubling legacy that raises spectres from his mother's undeclared past, the Dutting family does what all families do at times of crisis. Stop speaking to each other. Phil Hogan's third novel, All This Will Be Yours, is a compelling story of strained loyalties, of thwarted expectation and sibling rivalry.
