The Heirs by Susan Rieger Book Summary

Named one of NPR's Best Books of 2017

"Both original and moving—and a whole lot of fun."—CAROLINE LEAVITT, New York Times Book Review

"A must-read."—People

"Fans of Salinger's stories about Manhattan's elite will enjoy this novel about privileged siblings who grapple with the state of their inheritance and long-held secrets that emerge in the wake of their father's death."—InStyle

 
Six months after Rupert Falkes dies, leaving a grieving widow and five adult sons, an unknown woman sues his estate, claiming she had two sons by him. The Falkes brothers are pitched into turmoil, at once missing their father and feeling betrayed by him. In disconcerting contrast, their mother, Eleanor, is cool and calm, showing preternatural composure. 
 
Eleanor and Rupert had made an admirable life together—Eleanor with her sly wit and generosity, Rupert with his ambition and English charm—and they were proud of their handsome, talented sons: Harry, a brash law professor; Will, a savvy Hollywood agent; Sam, an astute doctor and scientific researcher; Jack, a jazz trumpet prodigy; Tom, a public-spirited federal prosecutor. The brothers see their identity and success as inextricably tied to family loyalty—a loyalty they always believed their father shared. Struggling to reclaim their identity, the brothers find Eleanor’s sympathy toward the woman and her sons confounding. Widowhood has let her cast off the rigid propriety of her stifling upbringing, and the brothers begin to question whether they knew either of their parents at all.
 
A riveting portrait of a family, told with compassion, insight, and wit, The Heirs wrestles with the tangled nature of inheritance and legacy for one unforgettable, patrician New York family. Moving seamlessly through a constellation of rich, arresting voices, The Heirs is a tale out Edith Wharton for the 21st century.

Got hooked and couldn’t put it down. Great story - loved that each chapter told a story of a different character. Sometimes the conversations between characters was a little unbelievable - but still enjoyable to read.

Not a fan.. Boring, messy writing in desperate need of good editing.

Bravo!. Truly a phenomenal book. I have book-marked so many passages for their depth and originality. I am going to suggest it to my book club. I highly recommend. Thank you Susan Rieger. Wonderful work!

Torturous book. I plowed through this most boring, wordy book. The author concentrated strictly on her verbosity, obviously impressed with her language skills and eager to use any quote she might have learned. The story line was fair, at best. There was nothing profound about this novel, nor was there a message learned. It was a great disappointment ...
