Description
Soon to be a Channel 4 series starring Brenda Blethyn (Vera) and Jessica Reynolds (House of Guinness)
One girl. One secret. One unstoppable ascent.
In 1905 a young kitchen maid leaves Fairley Hall. Emma Harte is sixteen, single and pregnant.
By 1968 she is one of the richest women in the world, ruler of a business empire stretching from Yorkshire to the glittering cities of America and the rugged vastness of Australia.
But what is the price she has paid?
‘Few novelists are as consummate as Barbara Taylor Bradford at keeping the reader turning the page. She is one of the best at spinning yarns’ Guardian
‘An extravagant, absorbing novel of love, courage, ambition, war, death and passion’ New York Times
