Jean Barr opens the antique chest she inherited from her
great-great-uncle Alexander and unravels the strands of his life as
an evangelical Presbyterian minister in late nineteenth century
Italy, unpacking the cover-ups in Britain's history of Empire, and
bringing to light the ingenious but ordinary ways in which a
handful of families, even today, continue to shore up their wealth.
She uncovers a series of marriages that placed Alexander within
shouting distance of a network of powerful families stretching over
generations, families whose staying power has been rooted in
hoarding and passing on land and capital. This is the backdrop to
Alexander's extraordinary life. It enabled him to flourish in Italy
and, in his final years, to become a cheerleader for a dictator.
The Legacy: A Memoir is a telling of family history as world
history.
