Description

Emma Harte is one of the richest women in the world. At seventy-eight years of age, she commands an empire stretching from Europe to America to Australia.

Self-reliant and ruthless, she uses money as a weapon, adversity as a tool. Emma Harte’s roots had been very different. An ill-treated skivvy on a great Yorkshire estate, pregnant and unwed at fifteen, her only talent was her implacable will.

Her triumphant march from rags to riches takes her from a small food shop to vast department stores – thence to international business power; and takes her, too, through two marriages and one great love affair to her final struggle against her avaricious children.

Already a hugely successful television mini-series, this dynastic north-country novel combining money and power, passion and revenge, is an unforgettable story of a strong woman’s determination to succeed in a man’s world. Vintage Barbara Taylor Bradford.
