I love and enjoy reading long stories and big novels but this book really bored me. I found it very difficult to get into the story from the very beginning and struggled to keep reading. I finally gave up half way through, which was more than enough. It is not really worth buying.

I read this book because it was one of the books discussed in "The Reading Group" by Elizabeth Noble. I'm afraid I was disappointed.
It is a saga following the life of a young, poverty stricken girl. Starting as a servant in the Fairly mansion, it details her rise to the eventual accumulation of extreme wealth through business - and the Fairly family's downfall.
Overly descriptive and drawn out. Would have been decidedly better in 400 pages. And, horror of horrors, there's a sequel, bringing ...

an extreme, realistic, story of one woman rising from nothing to everything with everyone trying to stop her, it is one of the most fantastic books i have ever read. The beggining is slightly slow but once you get in to it you cant get out. The story is fantastically gripping, and of revenge against one family who made Emma Harte's child hood a misery i strongly reccomend this book to anyone.

This is a stunning story following the story of Emma Harte from her humble, poor beginnings and the story leading to the founding of her empire. You really feel as though you are there every step of the way from when she leaves where her home is to finding her way and how she finds help with Blackie and her continuing strength against all odds.
This is a beautiful story and pretty much one you won't forget, this is by far Barbara Taylor Bradford's best work.

This is an immensely descriptive account of one woman's life as she rides out all that it has to offer her, both the good and bad times. The use of words is so vivid and evocative that you are transported into the story, living and breathing with the characters. The scenery and settings are described down to the last detail making it all the more real.
A tremoudous read that grips you tightly and doesn't let you go till the end.
