The Stanhope Legacy is a great read from start to finish. The author has a unique writing style that pulls you along through the moment to moment lives of these characters, and the characters themselves are so well fleshed out that they feel as though they are based on real people. This is also a story unlike others I have read in this genre, following a Scottish family to the states and seeing what kind of hardships they endure along the way. A quick read with good pacing, I would whole heartedly recommend to anyone who likes a bit of historical fiction and family drama.

The book a sweeping story full of heart, that follows the Stanhope family's journey from Scotland to America. It's a stirring tale about ambition, love, and resilience. It spans generations and the story follows Harold Stanhope’s rise from poor beginnings to building a dynasty. The characters are vivid and provide emotional depth. Davis expertly blends a historical setting with fictional storytelling, encapsulating the essence of family ties and personal wins against adverse challenges. The prose is engaging enough, but the pacing does slow somewhat in detailed backstories - it didn't stop me enjoying the book. A good read for people who enjoy sprawling multigenerational sagas - think legacy and sacrifice. Using real locations and realistic timeline added authenticity, making it relevent for historical fiction fans.
