Book Review of The Cavendon Women

The Cavendon Women
BettySunshine avatar reviewed on + 43 more book reviews


I used to really enjoy Barbara Taylor Bradfords books. I love family sagas and she used to be one of the best at writing them. But not anymore. Like Danielle Steel, her books seem to now be written following some formula. The last two of her books that I read (this being the second one) were predictable and had little real story to them. In this one, the four Cavedon sisters are the most beautiful women in the world. Then they meet their soul mate and they are instantly madly in love. This book lacked emotion and frequently did a quick wrap-up so they could move on to the next episode. I was ready for an easy read and it did fulfill that. But it was just too light for true enjoyment. I want to care about the characters and in this story I did not.

I received an ARC of this book from GoodReads First Reads program in exchange for an honest review.
