Product Description

From Library Journal

Just how much power does our heroine have? Not enough to ward off tragedy when it comes calling. But, having sold 56 million books, Bradford obviously has the power to attract readers.

From AudioFile

At 47, Stevie Jardine is a widow, mother of four, and the CEO of one of London's most illustrious jewelry empires. She finds fulfillment from her career, friends, and family, but her happiness is marred by a dark secret. When a random act of violence leaves her beloved daughter in a coma, Stevie must put aside her pride and revisit a painful past. Janet McTeer's performance sensitively explores family mysteries, betrayals, and loyalties. Her voice is whispery and intimate, as if sharing delicious secrets with listeners, leading them into a world of elegant gems, haute couture, and remarkable women. Barbara Taylor Bradford's compassion and understanding of human nature infuse her work with just the right touches of conflict, love, and redemption to satisfy her many fans.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Unimaginative--Time Waster, Jan 2 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Power Of A Woman (Mass Market Paperback)
I was very disappointed with this book. The characters were not very well developed and I felt that the author spent more time describing the character's opulent surroundings rather than put any thought into the plot or the characters' personalities. I kept thinking it would get better but it didn't.

1.0 out of 5 stars PURE CORN, Sep 4 2000
By Shannon G. (Albany, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Power of a Woman (Audio Cassette)
This novel is a waste of time. I expected it to be more character-driven, with people I could like if there was more substance to them. I enjoyed the characters of Stephanie and her daughter from what few characterizations were given, but I still needed more. The people in this book are all ultra-rich which just makes the reader depressed that she/he isn't rich too. It seems like all the characters do in this novel is travel from country to country, which I cannot relate too. They also don't seem to change that much by the end of the book. The plot is boring and corny, with many other subplots popping up (like one of Stephanie's sons having an obsessive ex-girlfriend) that never get anywhere. The author also made it sound like Stephanie's daughter Chloe's father was going to be a big suprise in the end. It wasn't, just another rich guy. It would have been great if Bradford had made him someone who was average. Overall, I didn't like the book. It was too sappy and depth-deprived.
