5 out of 5 stars Very enjoyable   August 10, 2008
Pure escapism here...thoroughly enjoyable, a real page-turner with all the superb ingrediants of romance, terror and lost-love. Excellent!


5 out of 5 stars superb storytelling   July 28, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Having avidly read The Legacy, I couldn't wait to get hold of The Talisman and it did not disappoint. To me it felt as if Lynda La Plante had fallen for her characters and really brought them to life. I felt so sorry for the hapless Harriet and the trapped-in-the-middle Jinks (aka Juliana.) Fabulous sweeping saga the likes of which you don't see very often and so superior to her 'thrillers' in every way.


5 out of 5 stars Follow up to The Legacy   January 12, 2007
 7 out of 7 found this review helpful

I thought The Legacy was great but have to say I enjoyed this book even more. It follows the lives of two brothers Edward and Alex (the children of the heroine Evelyn in the legacy) and the great ups and downs that cross their paths, with the gypsy curse inflicted on them because a talisman was not placed in the grave of their father Romany Gypsy -Freedom Stubbs. The brothers experience great wealth but have tragedy in their personal lives. The book takes you through different decades and is so well written you imagine you are there! A rags to riches story that money alone doesn't make you happy.


4 out of 5 stars sequel to the legacy   February 3, 2001
 18 out of 23 found this review helpful

Edward - inherits his father, Freedom's, looks. Alex, his twin brother, has a quest for revenge that fuels his entire corrupt empire.

This book is about the struggles of two brothers, each very different, to survive and keep going, to keep the ones they love safe, but to avenge their past.

Avid reading, if not a little complex to begin with itf you haven't read the Legacy first. Two thumbs up.
