I’ve just read Kirsten Tranter’s first book, The Legacy. It’s one of those extraordinary first novels that pop up now and then - it’s very accomplished, very lyrical, about a young woman who falls in love with a wealthy New Yorker, leaves Australia and her friends for his life, and then a few years later, on September 11, 2001, disappears. Her best friend from her Australian years decides to find out what happened. It’s a book definitely worth reading.
