    Book SynopsisHer recently discovered first novel, The Inheritance, written when Alcott was just 17, offers readers a fascinating look at the birth of a remarkable career.The Inheritance, set in an English country manor, is the story of Edith Adelon, an Italian orphan brought to England by Lord Hamilton as a companion for his children.

They explore the forces -- both literary and personal -- that shaped the novel, and study how it foreshadowed Alcott's later work.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
