A good story that spans three generations of women. Each one as stubborn as the other. They each find their path in life and go after it in their own way.

I read this book after watching the tv adaptation starring Victoria Tennant as Audra, Kevin McNally as Vincent & Elizabeth Hurley as Christina. We get to follow three strong women throughout the book and as usual the females are strong and willfull. I adore this story and can highly recommend it to anybody who loves reading about strong successful women.

Good Book.

Saya baru peerama kali membaca novel author ini. Sebenarnya his-fic spt yg diceritakan author lumayan menarik, dari kurun waktu pasca Perang Dunia I hingga berakhirnya Perang Dunia II. Andai saja relationship para tokohnya ada jatuh bangunnya dan tidak berbau selingkuh, mungkin saya bisa memberikan bintang diatas rata².

Jadi kisah dimulai dari Audra saat ibunya meninggal dan dirinya masih remaja. Dan kemudian Audra dan abang²nya dipisahkan dgn kejam oleh bibi mereka yg ternyata memiliki dendam pd ibunya. Audra kemudian menikah dgn Vincent, seorang pria tampan ambisius. Rumah tangga mrk diwarnai kebahagiaan sekaligus percekcokan krn perbedaan visi mrk ttg siapa yg mencari uang, juga prioritas Audra yg berlebihan utk masa depan anak semata wayangnya, Christina.

Babak berikutnya menceritakan kehidupan Christina remaja hingga berumahtangga, stl sblmnya menjalin hubungan percintaan yg gak seimbang dgn politikus ambisius yg sdh beristri. Dan karier yg dibangun Christina terlalu mudah dan too good to be come true.

Konflik ada tapi sptnya gampang sekali penyelesaiannya semuanya. Saya juga gak mudeng kenapa hrs memasukkan perselingkuhan spt yg dilakukan Vincent tapi herannya gak mengganggu rumah tangga mereka. Lalu hubungan Christina dgn Miles yg sdh beristri, sangat mengganggu dan toxic bagi saya, krn jelas kelihatan sekali keegoisan si Miles ini. Endingnya jg begitu saja, menggampangkan sih mnrt saya. Yaudahlah, lumayan sajalah novel ini.

A great saga that kept me turning the page from the first page to the last.

Great storyline

I thoroughly enjoyed this book about 3 generations of women. Love reading Barbara Taylor Bradford' s books. Always great love stories and strong women.

Tyckte om den väldigt mycket, för att den va så mysig!(lite jobbig ovkså)❤️

This started as something that sounded very interesting. And turned out to be nothing that I expected.
There aren't many, if any, likeable characters. The main ladies are all perfect, in everything. They reminded me of Sim-characters that I sometimes create. Stunning looks (well, all the main ladies are described as perfect beauties, and Vincent of course is perfectly handsome man who every woman falls for.) Also, they are excellent at EVERYTHING they do, no matter if its arts, cooking, spending money, just existing. And of course, everybody loves all the main characters. Except that one aunt who we are supposed to hate. I got very annoyed very soon because of the perfectness of each character. You cannot sympathise a character if they are too freaking perfect. There has to be some flaws. These characers have none. It is ridicilous.
Kinda reminds me that the author has watched too much of the Bold and the Beautiful and this is her own version of it.

And the ending. It comes out of nowhere and there is no result to anything. It just... happens. We are supposed to be reading the lives of 3 generation of women, and we only get unrealistic lifestory of one, ridicilous "perfect woman, perfect life" almost shortstory of the other, and then few pages of the third.

This book was not good and it goes back to where it came from. The "take free!"-section to the library.

Read it too long ago to be able to write a meaningful review, but I do recall enjoying the story, as I do all those from this author!

Loved this book

I have always enjoyed BTB writing. Although some of the books are overly romantically dramatic, I always like her characters .
