Summary: The beginning of an excellent trilogy.
Review: This is by far one of the best books I have ever read. The characterizations are vivid, the plot lines are rich, and it is a perfect set-up for the two sequels that follow. This book is on the caliber of "Gone With the Wind".

Summary: I'M A NEW FAN-
Review: This is my first book by BTB and won't be my last. I chose this strictly because I had seen three other books that related to this one, two which were part of the trilogy. I figured I would give it a try, as I love epics. I was definitely not disappointed. The characters were so vivid and real to me, I couldn't put the book down. At over 700 pages hardback, it is quite a read, but I have done it in less than a week. I absolutely couldn't get anything done until I found out what happened. I love the way she set it up- she got you hooked, then let you dangle for oh, 699 pages!!!If you are a fan of Sara Donati's "Wilderness" books, you will definitely love this. I can't wait until tomorrow to get the sequel.

Summary: Great book on "rags to riches" about /and for women.
Review: This is the first book in a trilogy concerning Emma, her daughter, and her granddaughter.
Emma went from "rags to riches" through hard work and perseverence without stepping on anyone elses toes.
If you want a fast-moving, honest, down-to-earth success story, this is the one book you should read.
Barbara Taylor Bradford has a great way with words and descriptions.
Be sure to read the sequels to this book.

Summary: My favorite book
Review: This is undoubtedly the best book I have ever read. Emma Harte has become my role model. She started with nothing and ended up being wealthy in love and money, by sheer determination, perseverance and hard work. What an amazing author. I have read the next two in the trilogy and although they are also excellent, nothing can compare to this brilliant book.

Summary: Completely engrosses the reader to a point of obesssion!!!!!
Review: This novel has to be one of the best written books I have read in a long time. The intricate descriptions were very compelling. The reader feels as if they are right there in the room with Emma. The story is so fascinating. You find yourself wondering what Emma will pull out of her hat next and what fate has in store for her. This novel is about love, compassion, greed, revenge, and the power of endurance. I love it!!

Summary: Overwhelming inspiration for young women
Review: This was my first real read at age 14. Today at 39, I am the owner of a very sussessful business. Although a fictional character Emma Hart and her story have been an inspiration to me in my own endeavors. I plan to give a copy to each of my four daughters. When you have true stregnth of charachter anthing is possible.
