review - the irresistible inheritance of Wilberforce

This intriguing book chronicles the life of a somewhat isolated and complex individual from present to past. It manages to cleverly depict from the character’s perspective what it is like to live with the ill effects of alcohol addiction, which is novel, insightful and impressive. Whilst the first part of the book is inspiring and compulsive reading, during the middle chapters the book struggles to provide enough new and discerning information about the characters and past situations to keep you as hooked as at the outset; but it does offer a ménage of eccentric characters, flawed relationships and captures how an person’s future can turn out far different than as expected. Once finished it will also leave you with some food for thought about the way we live our lives in general.
