Just seventeen years old, Henry IX, known as William, is a king bound by the restraints of the regency yet anxious to prove himself.

A DUAL INHERITANCE by Joanna Hershon
Autumn 1962: Ed Cantowitz and Hugh Shipley meet in their final year at Harvard. These two young men form an unlikely friendship, bolstered by a fierce shared desire to transcend their circumstances. But in just a few short years, not only do their paths diverge—one rising on Wall Street, the other becoming a kind of global humanitarian—but their friendship ends abruptly, with only one of them understanding why.
Can a friendship define your view of the world? A Dual Inheritance asks this question, as it follows not only these two men, but the complicated women in their vastly different lives. And as Ed and Hugh grow farther and farther apart, they remain uniquely—even surprisingly—connected.
