At a moment when powerful men everywhere are being exposed for their crimes, Celia receives an email out of the blue, accusing her ex-husband of committing a rape decades before. She feels compelled to investigate, but where should she even begin? Together with Carly, her millennial colleague at the Harland Herald, she revisits a past she thought she’d left behind, full of partying, drugs and free love. At the time, she’d thought she was at the centre of something - she’d been swept up in the maelstrom of the summer of love - but did she miss something rotten at its core?

From writer, producer and presenter Carole Hayman comes this insightful, compulsive thriller. Told through a series of flashbacks to Celia’s wild youth, Legacy examines the ideas of memory, feminism and changing sexual politics. Former associate director of the Royal Court Theatre and author of the Warfleet Chronicles and Hard Choices, Hayman’s writing includes the hit Radio 4 series Ladies of Letters, The Refuge with Sue Townsend and Rides, the first ever all-female TV drama.

Hayman was a research fellow at Kings College London, where she conducted a study on women and serial killers. This intelligent, provocative #MeToo mystery is perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn and Emma Cline’s The Girls.
