Description
A story crossing generations about hidden family secrets.
A tragedy from the past threatens to be repeated.
When handsome, career driven Detective Inspector Alex Hartman is instructed to investigate a High Court Judge his life instantly changes. Although forming an unfavourable impression of Judge Lionel Franklin, Alex becomes aware of an overwhelming attraction for Catherine Franklin, the Judge’s attractive niece, who seems to be closely controlled by her Uncle. He soon finds himself on a collision course between his duties and his personal feelings. Meeting again after a separation and realising his feelings are reciprocated, Alex takes the fateful decision of proposing marriage, but Judge Franklin is always in the background with his veiled attempts at control of Catherine for his own purposes. As Alex continues his investigations he uncovers more and more damning evidence, unaware that Lionel Franklin is devising a shocking plan, which in the events of one tragic night shatters the young couple’s dream for a future with their young child.
A generation on, haunted by the past but unaware of the whole truth, Peter Hartman finds solace in the attentions of his Great Uncle Lionel. Whilst on holiday in Canada he meets Christa Benjamin and a relationship begins between them and grows to something much deeper, unknowingly putting her life in danger. At the same time, after years of indecision and guilt, Alex Hartman’s former colleague finds the courage to confront the past, and, finally hearing the truth surrounding his parents, Peter sees how his own life has been overshadowed by the continued manipulation of Lionel Franklin and vows to seek justice. As matters reach a head Peter confronts Franklin about his knowledge of the past, but finds himself pitched into the nightmare of history repeating itself – can an echo from the past avert another tragedy?

Now the uncle has a new generation to control. Peter starts to figure out things have not been as they should be and with help from those close to him he starts to investigate his great uncle to see what happened 24 years ago. This is a very involved story with many twists & turns. I highly recommend this book.

Great story, captivating, hope her next book is of equal value

I feel as if this is almost too much for one book. The crime/romance/history aspects each has a back story that needs introducing and explaining. This slows the action down so much that I was tempted to give up. The pace does pick up, but by then I was losing interest.

I enjoyed this book although it was difficult to decide what genre it was - romantic fiction, crime fiction or a historical novel. I decided not to bother about that, but just enjoy the story.
I loved the characters and the passionate love story of Catherine and Alex and how their love transforms them. Sarah's character and her faithfulness to her friend, Catherine is also very endearing.
The book was slightly unevenly paced at times - with Part 1 slow and then Part 2 and 3 picking up pace.
Altogether an engaging read.

Generation of Love by Nancy Pulford is a book in 3 parts . It is about two generations, Alex and his son Peter. Both find love but both have to struggle with the influence of judge Lionel Franklin who is at the centre of an evil network. The story is divided in three parts and part three finally picks up the pace and suspense is building up. However, the first parts are slow reading and I almost gave up after part one. It was confusing what genre this book represented was it a family story , a love story or a crime story? In the end the book is a bit of all of them. So it is all in all and easy read with some suspense at the end. I would recommend it for an easy entertaining holiday read.
