Editorial Review:
A celebration of an indomitable spirit, here is New York Times bestselling author Barbara Taylor Bradford's dazzling saga of a woman who dared to dream--and to triumph against all odds...In the brooding moors above a humble Yorkshire village stood Fairley Hall. There, Emma Harte, its oppressed but resourceful servant girl, acquired a shrewd determination. There, she honed her skills, discovered the meaning of treachery, learned to survive, to become a woman,
and vowed to make her mark on the world.In the wake of tragedy she rose from poverty to magnificent wealth as the iron-willed force behind a thriving international enterprise. As one of the richest women in the world Emma Harte has almost everything she fought so hard to achieve--save for the dream of love,
and for the passion of the one man she could never have. Through two marriages, two devastating wars, and generations of secrets, Emma's unparalleled success has come with a price. As greed, envy, and revenge consume those closest to her, the brilliant matriarch now finds herself poised to outwit her enemies, and to face the betrayals of the past with the same ingenious resolve that forged her empire.

Great for a quick tape of the best Bradford book. Note that it's "British" english.
Rating:  - You'll Keep Coming Back
Even if you have read this novel, you may want to pick it up again. The compelling story is not one easily forgotten.
Rating: - Top 10 Book
A Woman of Substance was probably one of the best books I have ever read - I have read it twice now. Definitely a must read book!
Rating: - A Woman of Substance...Indeed
This book changed my life. I read it when I was 15 years old. I am 30 now and I still talk about it. I found the movie on DVD and was very impressed. Emma Harte gave me the strength to be something great.
Rating: - Loooooooooooove this book!
I read this book over 13 years ago, and I tell you, it still remains one of my faves. Even though I was barely 13 when I read it, the book gave me hope and made me believe that anyone could become something, no matter their background and especially like Emma's.
