I love this author and will continue on to book #3 soon. This one focuses more and more on the grandchildren and it does not disappoint. Over 800 pages but it never drags.

The story was as gripping and enjoyable as expected. However, there were some storylines/easter eggs laid that were never developed which were a little irritating. Most of all, though, how it was all sewn up in haste in the last 5% of the book was deflating to say the least. I enjoyed how the book transitioned us to Paula's story, but the rushed ending seemed slapdash and not at all up to the standard we are used to from BTB.

Suite de «L'espace d'une vie», ce roman aurait aussi bien pu ne pas être écrit vu le peu qu'il apporte. On y retrouve tous les membres des familles Harte, O'Neill et Kallinski, les rêves et les amours des uns mais aussi les jalousies et les méchancetés des autres. Contrairement au premier roman qui s'étend sur une vie, cette brique de 700 pages couvre à peine deux années où les évènements sont un peu trop «arrangés». Inintéressant tant sur le fond que pour le forme!

Quite a story, long book and the author is able to spend a lot of time on the details of her character's lives. Once I got into the story, I couldn't put it down.

I'm liking this series. Anxious to get the next one.

Enjoyed

Another epic saga of the rich and faaabulus (needs to be said with a nasal annhhh sound for full effect). This follow-up to the wonderful Woman of Substance novel is a bit more predictable. I felt like I knew how the story was going to unfold, and I did. But I surely enjoyed the journey. BTB's books are a great escape for me. Fabulous wealth and jewels abound alongside tragedy and great challenges, and good will always win.

Heute Vormittag habe ich den 2. Band (Des Lebens bittere süße von Barbara Taylor Bradford) beendet.✌

Hold the dream

When I started reading this book I wasn’t sure I was going to like. However, the more I read, I found I unable to put down.

One of my favourite books in life. So simple yet so captivating

Bellissimo, intrigante, travolgente. Letto in due giorni

Great continuation of a classic!

Very good can't wait to see what happens in the next book it does have trigger warnings on it about death and rape also loved the relationship between Paula and shan
