Ambitious, engrossing, the plot is equal parts evil, rivalry, and romance. Characters so real you will truly want to know them better!
Another wonderful read for Barabra Taylor Bradford fans.

Really enjoyed this book. I think this series just got better and better with each book. This final book in the series was a quick read. Appreciated the family tree at the beginning.
Another Harte saga book bringing us almost up to present day. All the descendants of Emma wrestle with family dramas, black sheep and attempted murder
part of a series and really enjoyed

The Harte saga continues, better than ever!
If you like the books about Emma Harte, you will love this one.
pretty good...the saga of the Harte Family is getting a little far away...but the story of this book is still good.
Can this be, as advertised, the final episode in the Harte family saga? A Woman of Substance (1979), the story of Emma Harte's triumph over poverty and illegitimacy to found England's greatest department store, and its four sequels were huge bestsellers. Now Emma's great-granddaughter, Linnet O'Neill, must defend the empire and family against evil uncle Jonathan Ainsley. But words such as "granddaughter" and "uncle" don't do justice to the complexities. It takes four and a half pages of front matter to enumerate the Harte, Kallinski and O'Neill clans whose intertwining lives drive the saga. Emma's descendants offer a helping hand to new in-lawsand the readerby uttering sentences such as these: "Through his great-grandfather, Winston the First, Emma is Gideon's great-great-aunt. But she is also Gideon's great-grandmother, because Emma was my grandmother." Weddings and funerals keep the local caterer busy and offer crescendos of activity, if scant emotion. Although Ainsley's malevolence hovers behind the story and leads to near disasters, there's never a doubt that the strong women will triumphthough not without struggle. Series devotees will take heart at the ending, which hints that Ainsley's evil will survive his death and the struggles will continue offstage even if Bradford lays down her golden pen.
