The unputdownable multi-million copy bestseller charting the rags to riches story of Emma Harte With new Foreword from Fern Britton. A WOMAN'S AMBITION... In the brooding moors above a humble Yorkshire village stood Fairley Hall. There, Emma Harte, its oppressed but resourceful servant girl, acquired a shrewd determination. There, she honed her skills, discovered the meaning of treachery, learned to survive, to become a woman, and vowed to make her mark on the world. A JOURNEY OF A LIFETIME... In the wake of tragedy she rose from poverty to magnificent wealth as the iron-willed force behind a thriving international enterprise. As one of the richest women in the world Emma Harte has almost everything she fought so hard to achieve-save for the dream of love, and for the passion of the one man she could never have. A DREAM FULFILLED-AND AVENGED. Through two marriages, two devastating wars, and generations of secrets, Emma's unparalleled success has come with a price. As greed, envy, and revenge consume those closest to her, the brilliant matriarch now finds herself poised to outwit her enemies, and to face the betrayals of the past with the same ingenious resolve that forged her empire.

Seller's Description:
Very good. Connecting readers with great books since 1972! Used books may not include companion materials, and may have some shelf wear or limited writing. We ship orders daily and Customer Service is our top priority!
This is an interesting novel with lots of character and setting descriptions, but that's just what makes it tedious to read. Pages go by and the story line has not advanced much at all. Over and over we get various descriptions of Emma Harte's character traits. OK, may we need to be told this a few times so we don't forget, but not every time some new character is introduced into the story line who is going to be confronted by Harte's strengths and weaknesses.
"The plot is fairly simple and you get it figured out real quick what devil is driving Ms Emma Harte. Watching how this devil gets played out is what the story is all about. If you want a long leisurely, middle-of-the-winter-with-nothing-else-better-to-do novel, then this one would work. For all I've said, it is readable, just takes a while.
"Better suggestion is to get the 5 hour DVD. It has all the story and is much more interesting. You won't want to stop until the end of the DVD!
