What does a great fortune leave the next generation: freedom, love, or a shadow that will not lift?
In Monte-Cristo's Daughter, Edmund Flagg returns to the world surrounding the Count of Monte-Cristo's legend. This adventure romance looks toward the next generation and the legacy of a famous hero. Travel, secrets and rivalry in love draw you into a story where a great fortune casts a long shadow.
Flagg's novel belongs to the family of tales inspired by Alexandre Dumas's The Count of Monte-Cristo. It offers the pleasures of nineteenth-century melodrama: love, betrayal and mystery. Expect formal prose, crowded plots and long speeches rather than a modern pace. The appeal lies in entering a familiar story's wider world and following what its legacy may hold.

In short
Monte-Cristo's Daughter is a nineteenth century adventure novel by Edmund Flagg, an American writer and journalist.

From the 15-minute summary · Key idea 1
A sequel born of a famous hero
Edmund Flagg wrote in a time when serial fiction and popular romance were read eagerly on both sides of the Atlantic. The Count of Monte-Cristo had made its hero a household name, and other writers soon built stories around his legend.
A tale titled Monte-Cristo's Daughter promises to carry that legend forward. The title itself tells you the reader is meant to ask what such a father would pass on to a child, whether wealth, wisdom or burdens.
