( ) One of the worst books that I have ever read. The only reason I kept going was because I thought there had to be some conflict, a story line or even some ends tied up. It was a throw away, I just couldn't see myself sharing the book with anyone. It was just one bad thing after another with characters dying all the time and you never find out who was the antagonist. I was surprised considering other books by Bradford are books that I have enjoyed. Edward Deravenel staat aan het hoofd van een bloeiend familie-imperium, dat succesvol handelt in olie. De Eerste Wereldoorlog is geëindigd en een mooie toekomst ligt voor hem open. Toch moet Edward impopulaire maatregelen nemen die ten koste gaan van de hechte familiebanden. Meer... Als Edward sterft en zijn jonge zoons op raadselachtige wijze zijn ontvoerd en verdwenen, staat zijn dochter Bess voor de haast onmogelijke taak het bedrijf te redden en te zorgen voor het voortbestaan van de Ravenscar Dynastie. De Ravenscar familiesaga: macht en geld, passieen verleiding, ambitie en verraad zijn de regels van het spel. I'm a bit of a fan of Barbara Taylor Bradford's books but this book just didn't do it for me. Very repetitive - repeatedly through the book she recaps so much of what has already happened or reminds you that Grace is the granddaughter of Cecily - she tells us this several times in the book., etc. It gets annoying - it's like she doesn't think the reader will remember from page to page what has happened. Reminded me very much of the way Danielle Steel writes. Not impressed. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
