Used book – Somerset, Leila Meacham

1916, Howbutker, Texas. When her father dies, Mary is only 16 years old. Vernon Toliver named her the sole heiress of his cotton plantation. It's up to her to settle the debts he leaves behind and provide for her mother and older brother, who feel cheated. Vernon had probably understood that only his daughter shared his passion for the family estate. But to keep her ancestral lands alive, will Mary have to sacrifice her love for Percy? Decades later, Mary decides to disinherit her niece, Rachel, who is nevertheless determined to take over her succession. Leila Meacham revives the codes of great historical sagas only to reinvent them. Translated into twenty-five countries, this novel of love and sacrifice has already captivated readers worldwide.

Love, glory, and rivalries, a great saga in the purest tradition. Maxi.
