The Dohlen Inheritance Trilogy

The hand life deals you is a given; what counts is

how you play the game.

Emil Julius Dohlen

Book 1:
The Dohlen Inheritance

1913-1932

Haunted by the legacy their German mother leaves them the Dohlen orphans try to control their destiny by following in their pioneering father’s foosteps. They each create fascinating and very different lives as their fortunes rise and fall.

Prejudice and cruelty, greed and bigotry make their days hell as the children fight to break away from the domination of corrupt relatives, a bungling guardian - and each other.

Misunderstanding and tragedy overtake the young Dohlens as fate pulls them back to Germany, where the threat of Adolf Hitler’s policies eventually leads them to an unexpected realisation of their true inheritance.

Book 2
:
Hobgoblin Gold

1932-1948

Hobgoblin Gold
tells the extraordinary stories of siblings Gabby, Moppel and Doly as they try desperately to escape the legacy of their traumatic childhood, and to build new lives for themselves.

However, haunted by the past, and quarrelling amongst themselves, they squander the enormous fortune their father left them in different and spectacular ways.

As Hitler comes to power the young Dohlens abandon their German heritage. The sisters spend WWII in the countryside south of London, struggling to survive without the wealth they took for granted in their childhood. Emil, meanwhile, succumbs to the siren calls of gangsters.

Can the young Dohlens now finally learn to take full responsibility for themselves, and emulate their father?

Book 3:
Ladybird Fly

1948-1992

This final book of the trilogy sees the Dohlen sisters, Gabby and Doly, deprived of their husbands, property and income. They have to learn to cope in a post-war world. Emil, meanwhile, has his own problems to solve, battling his foolish business decisions.

The two sisters survive by using their wits and resorting to unique and entertaining solutions to their problems, but in entirely different ways. Gabby, a born operator, triumphs spectacularly while Doly enjoys a rural idyll, supported by friends but lacking cash. Emil finally learns how to run a legitimate business.

The Dohlens breathtaking exploits, often wickedly funny, reveal their true inheritance -
The Dohlen Inheritance
- which we can all aspire to.
