From Publishers Weekly

Bestseller Bradford (The Ravenscar Dynasty; Voice of the Heart) presents the serviceable second chapter in her Ravenscar trilogy, a dynastic epic spanning the 20th century. In 1918, 14 years after assuming control of the family company, 33-year-old Edward Deravenel has built it into the greatest trading company in the world, with business interests ranging from French wine to Persian oil. Edward is also blessed with the sprawling Ravenscar estate and a son he hopes will eventually take the company helm. However, Edward has enemies on all sides, most notably his treacherous younger brother, George, and jealous wife Elizabeth. Even Edward's trusted youngest brother, Richard, may not be all he seems. A series of scandals threatens to ruin Edward's heirs' claim to the company, though much of the action feels muted. The plot gains much needed direction and momentum after Edward is felled by a heart attack, his two young sons disappear and the company's fate falls on the shoulders of his oldest daughter, Bess. The last third carries the book and makes up for the plodding earlier sections. This isn't one of Bradford's better books, but it should tide over her fans. (Nov.)

From AudioFile

John Lee's skill in creating voices for a large cast is fully engaged in this lengthy novel of family intrigue. Taylor Bradford's sprawling novel about the Deravenel dynasty spans most of the twentieth century, giving Lee the opportunity to showcase his talent for dialogue in a variety of settings. While Lee's performance is flawless and his characters are clearly distinguished, Taylor Bradford's characters remain two-dimensional and the plot ultimately unsatisfying. This novel is a sequel to THE RAVENSCAR DYNASTY, so the flatness of the characters and their lack of charisma may stem from the fact the sequel doesn't fully stand on its own.

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Heir: A Novel (Hardcover)
My first introduction to Barbara Taylor Bradford was with her trilogy of Emma Harte and her subsequent generations. I felt like I was a part of this family and became emotionally involved with the characters, as the writing was excellent. Based on this experience, I was excited when Barbara Taylor Bradford's novel on a completely new family "The Ravenscar Dynasty" was published.

The Ravenscar Dynasty is based on the Deravenel family, concentrating on Edward Deravenel, who becomes a powerful tycoon running the family business. This book was not as endearing as the Emma Harte trilogies, and did not draw me to her characters, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I was thrilled when "The Heir" was published as I thought I would able to carry on with Edward and get to know him better. Not so.
I am very disappointed in "The Heir". The basis of the book seemed to be premised on death - Edward dies of a heart attack a little over half way through the story, his oldest daughter Bess is a young adult at this point, and as she was fairly prominent in the story, I thought that with Edward passing on, the story would then be about Bess, hence the title of the book, "The Heir". Not to be.
Not only do we as a reader lose Edward, we lose his best friend Will Hasling, both his brothers and all of his sons. Over the two books, I came to care about Grace Rose and Amos Finnister, but they are taken from the pages and not mentioned much. One never really gets to know Edward's wife Elizabeth or any of his children.
After Edward's death, we do not get to spend much time getting to know Bess. Not only does she lose her father, but shortly thereafter, she loses her uncle, plus her two young brothers. I am thinking at this point, this now makes way for Bess to be head of the family to become more involved in the company, but Barbara Taylor Bradford decided to kill off each and every man who could possibly be her mentor in the company. Bess eventually marries a member of the powerful Turner family and after that each chapter jumps head months and years. With brief mention of Bess's death giving birth to her son Harry Turner in childbirth, the story then starts to follow Harry now grown up and quite frankly, a cad. The last part of the book surrounds his life and I do not like him at all. He leaves his first wife as she was only able to provide a daughter, not a son that he so desperately wants. He has a mistress on the side, and when circumstances finally allow him to marry her, she can only provide a daughter, has numerous miscarriages and stillbirths, and when no son appears, he turns cranky and pulls away. She eventually meets her death, thus allowing him to take up with his secretary, who does give him a son. End of story.
I did not like this book at all. One never got to know the characters well enough to care about them. Each chapter jumps ahead too much.
I hope she stops at this book, as I cannot see myself caring further about Harry Turner. Even if the story concentrates on his son, it won't be the same, as the book really should have been about Edward Deravenal or at the least, his daughters, Grace Rose and Bess.
I will no longer be excited when a new book of Barbara Taylor Bradford comes out, as I expected much more and was disappointed. Has she lost her touch??
