About the author

Barbara Taylor Bradford was a British-American novelist whose dramatic family sagas and stories of ambitious women made her one of the most commercially successful authors of modern popular fiction. Raised in Leeds, she developed an early love of reading and decided as a child that she would become a writer. After leaving school at sixteen, she began her career in journalism, first working in the typing pool of the Yorkshire Evening Post before becoming a reporter. In her early twenties she moved to London, where she built a successful career as a fashion editor for Woman's Own magazine and later wrote widely syndicated newspaper columns. Although she experimented with suspense fiction, her breakthrough came with the novel A Woman of Substance in 1979, a sweeping story of a determined young woman rising from poverty to great success. The novel became an international bestseller and launched a long series of novels featuring strong female protagonists who achieve success through perseverance, ambition, and business skill. Over the following decades she wrote forty novels translated into dozens of languages and sold in tens of millions of copies worldwide. Several of her books were adapted for television miniseries and films, further expanding her readership. Her work earned numerous honors, including appointment as an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in recognition of her contribution to literature.

Reviews

[Vivien Harris · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very enjoyable and thoughtful book. Very pleasant to read. Very cleverly thought out.

[Himanshi · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book in its own little - cute way reminded me of Tehmina Durrani's, My Feudal Lord. As much as this was crisp I love how it incorporated themes of love, subjugation, violence, friendship and relationships. The plot twist at the end was crazy good. Loved the book. I feel really sad to hear about the author's recent demise. I pray for her soul. And absolutely recommend this book to everybody!
