About this title

About the Author:

Barbara Taylor Bradford was born in Leeds, and by the age of twenty was an editor and columnist on Fleet Street. Her first novel, A Woman of Substance, became an enduring bestseller and was followed by many more. Her books have sold more than eighty-five million copies worldwide in more than ninety countries and forty languages, and ten mini-series and television movies have been made of her books. She lives in New York City with her husband, television producer Robert Bradford.

From Booklist:

The lives of the Ingham and Swann families have been intimately entwined for more than 160 years—the former as the royal owners of their estate home, Cavendon Hall; the latter as those who keep their masters’ secrets. On the eve of WWI, there is a particularly dastardly secret to be protected: Lady Daphne, the most beautiful of Lord Ingham’s four daughters, is raped by her closest friend’s brother. Worse luck, the attack results in a pregnancy, thereby further dashing Daphne’s chances of being married to an as-yet-unnamed duke. Salvation comes in the form of long-lost cousin Hugo, recently widowed and returning after a successful career in America to reclaim his Yorkshire roots. Luckily for all, Daphne and Hugo fall deeply in love, and their union further helps the Inghams and Swanns weather the tragedies to come when England goes to war. The popular and prolific Bradford knocks another fast-paced family saga out of the park with charming characters and manor-house mayhem. --Carol Haggas
