En grå dag i mars 1905 möts hela släkten Lackand för att gå på Martha Lacklands begravning. Där träffas Lettice Brotherton Lackland och Lucas OHara. Letty studerar medicin på Queen Eleanor, precis som hennes mamma, Sophie Lackland, gjorde trettio år tidigare. Luke är barnbarnsbarn till Lilith Lucas och har gjort karriär vid teatern. Detta möte blir en vändpunkt för både Luke och Letty. Dragningskraften mellan dem går inte att förneka, men Luke brottas med bitterheten över hur familjen Lackland behandlat hans äldre släktingar och Letty slits mellan sina skådespelarambitioner och läkarstudierna. När Luke insjuknar i lungtuberkulos och isoleras på sjukhuset ställs allt på sin ända; vem ska leda hans teaterkompani, och när får han träffa Letty igen? Claire Rayners krönika över Lackland-släkten sträcker sig från början av 1800-talet till långt in på 1900-talet. Serien består av 12 delar som både kan läsas fristående och kronologiskt.

Var det möjligt för en kvinna i 1870-talets England att bli läkare? Sophie Lackland bar på denna till synes omöjliga dröm, men när ett oväntat arv dök upp fick hon möjlighet att ta det sista steget. Hon kämpade ner alla hinder som omvärlden satt upp för henne, alla utom ett. Hennes kärlek till Gil ett hinder som hon själv byggt upp ... Claire Rayner (1932-2010) var utbildad sjuksköterska och arbetade på flera olika sjukhus i London. Hennes stora intresse för medicinska och sociala frågor resulterade i ett stort antal artiklar och fackböcker. "Släkten Lackland" är hennes stora genombrott som skönlitterär författare.
