Title : Berill, or the Passion of Inheritance - Françoise Bourdin - Book
Summary :
Tomas Blaque-Belair, the hero of A Wild Passion, dies, leaving behind a vast financial empire. In his eyes, none of his children seem ready to take over the family bank. Is the future of the dynasty threatened? A gripping saga in which the author exalts the bonds and strength of family feelings.
Paris, 1959. Tomas, the owner of the prestigious Blaque-Belair bank, learns that he has an incurable disease. With his wife Berill, he takes one last trip to Ireland, his native country, where he wishes to rest.
Berill finds herself at the head of a financial empire that now needs to be managed. Devastated by the death of her husband, she wants to retire from business and see the third generation grow. The succession promises to be difficult. In her eyes, her two children don't have enough experience to take over the reins of the family business. Maureen, her daughter, would like to rule the bank alone, but she must obey the directives of her uncle Mathias, Berill's brother and benevolent advisor. Will she be able to endure remaining in the shadows for long? As for Hugh, her son, he doesn't have the soul of a financier and prefers to devote himself to the animal park he created in Touraine. Above all, he doesn't want to be far from the lovely veterinarian who works with him and to whom he dares not confess his feelings. In the midst of the turmoil, Berill will do everything to preserve her husband's legacy and protect the happiness of her family.
After A wild passion, Françoise Bourdin delivers the second part of the Blaque-Belair saga, a fascinating fresco in which the author exalts family ties and the strength of feelings more than ever.
