5.0étoiles sur 5 A Brilliant Read, Juil 2 2004
Par K. Morgan (United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: A Woman of Substance (Mass Market Paperback)
A Woman of Substance is the story of Emma Harte, an English woman who starts life out in poverty-like conditions and rises above it to become one of the richest women in the world. The story starts out in New York in 1968 where the reader is introduced to Emma and her granddaughter Paula. It then progresses to England in the current day (1968) where Emma settles down to do some family business. The book then goes back to Emma's childhood in England in the early 1900's. Emma is a maid at Fairley Hall, a job she hates but must perform to help the family finances. Something then happens that causes Emma to have to leave home and fend for herself. Being a strong person she doesn't dwell in self-pity. Instead she uses her mind and her natural talent at business to start the store that will later turn into a major empire.

A Woman of Substance is a well-written book. I must agree with other reviewers that the first part is a bit confusing and doesn't really do much except to set up the scene to take the reader back into Emma's childhood to see her rise to fortune. I honestly didn't think I would like this book during Part 1 but kept reading. Ultimately I was glad I didn't give up on this book as it is extremely entertaining and well worth the time to read. There are a lot of characters in the book to keep straight. Once figured out though the characters all have an important part in the book.

I can't say enough about this wonderful book. It is just brilliant. It has everything from poverty to fortune, love to hatred, revenge, friendship, laughter, tears. Every emotion possible is revealed during the 900 plus pages of this book.

A Woman of Substance is a must read book. Definitely a book to put on the keeper shelf to revisit in the future.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A Very Finely Told Story by Bradford-Her Best Work!, Juil 11 2002

This review is from: A Woman of Substance (Mass Market Paperback)
The "Woman of Substance," and the other sequels following it are wonderful works! The story is based upon the poor Emma, who is a poverty-stricken child, living in rags, and yet comes out of it a wonderful young adult, working her way to empireship with her store business across the country. She works her fingers to the bone to achieve her goals, is a formidable woman, and always gets what she sets out to accomplish through her relentless perserverance. A worthwhile read, and VERY HARD to put it down once you get into the story!

This review is from: A Woman of Substance (Mass Market Paperback)
I have been wanting to read a Woman of Substance for a long time. It actaully took three tries for me to get past the first couple of chapters. I felt this was another retread of Gone With the Wind, rather than anything new.

I will admit that I finished the book and found it an ejoyable read, but had the following quandries about it. The opening scene seems hard to follow and offers little character development. It makes the book more confusing, rather than enhancing it. The story was forgetable. I had to keep remininding myself who the characters were. Finally, Emma, the protagonist is simply not a likable individual. I had little intesrest in her, did not feel her motivation was clear and founs her to be rather cold- not a heroine I enjoyed.

If you likes the business aspect try Jeffrey Archer's As the Crow Flies instead. That is a far superior tale of one man's quest to create an ENglish shopping empire.
