Inheritance

Ben Martin is charming and successful: an academic who has raised money for children's charities and worked with women's agencies in sub-Saharan Africa, a devoted husband. But when his brother Francois, an artist based in Lisbon, finds out about Ben's affair with a student, Rita Kalungal, he finds himself feeling responsible both for his brother's actions as well as Rita; and Rita begins to realise that her involvement with Ben has far-reaching consequences on herself and her family, and others.

Ben Martin este fermecator si de succes: un academic care a strans bani pentru organizatii caritabile pentru copii si a lucrat cu agentii pentru femei din Africa subsahariana, un sot devotat. Dar cand fratele sau Francois, un artist stabilit la Lisabona, afla despre aventura lui Ben cu o studenta, Rita Kalungal, el se simte responsabil atat pentru actiunile fratelui sau, cat si pentru Rita; iar Rita incepe sa-si dea seama ca implicarea ei cu Ben are consecinte de anvergura asupra ei, a familiei si a celorlalti.
