Review
Praise for Barbara Taylor Bradford: 'The storyteller of substance.' The Times 'Queen of the genre.'

The Guardian 'Memorable and moving!a sure-fire winner' Express

Product Description
The next installment in the dramatic new Ravenscar series from the international bestselling author of Woman of Substance. As Edward Deravenel stands alone on the rocky Ravenscar beach he counts his blessings. The war to end all wars is over; he and his brothers have survived. Now he can build Deravenels, the family business empire, into all he has dreamed of. Yet there is a thorn in his side -- his reckless younger brother, George. George's gambling and unpaid debts are beginning to cause rumours and unease. And Edward realises that his brother is capable of not just recklessness but blackmail and betrayal. The fortunes of the house of Deravenal suffer a terrible reversal as one disaster follows another, and tragedy strikes. Ravenscar A House. A Legacy. A Dynasty. It is Edward's daughter Bess, his golden girl, who carries the family name forward, making an alliance that will secure the empire and the inheritance, and start a new dynasty. And it is Bess's son Harry who stands in his grandfather's shoes at a similar age and vows to rebuild Deravenels to greatness -- as long as he can have the son and heir he longs for. Whatever it takes!

1.0 out of 5 stars no stars, 14 Mar 2008
By Mrs. C. Hall "chris" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Heirs of Ravenscar (Paperback)
I hoped that this sequel would make up for the dreadful Ravenscar Dynasty but it is awful. It follows the story of the end of the Plantagenets and the rise of the Tudors but set in the 2oth century; so if you know a little history the storyline will be predictable. I would say the only enjoyment is wondering how she is going to bump them all off! It is no longer possible to behead your wife. Please Barbara go back to your old style.

1.0 out of 5 stars Heirs of Ravenscar, 2 Aug 2008
By M. Burton (Essex) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Heirs of Ravenscar (Paperback)
I give this book one star mainly because it never got started. Theres over 300 pages and it never got started. It felt like I was reading a persons day to day life, not very interesting. Some parts of the book were enjoyable to read but overall it just never took off and never kept my interest for long

2.0 out of 5 stars most disappointing, 2 Jan 2008
By Jacqueline Rohmann (Germany) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Heirs of Ravenscar was a great disappointment. The standard of writing was abysmal: as soon as there was a risk of characters becoming too complicated, they were simply killed off. No attempt was made to follow through any lines of the plot, so that the frequent time leaps left the reader floundering, with previously important aspects simply ignored - take for example Ned's problems with his wife and her unacceptable behaviour, which having played a major role in the book simply fizzles out and no longer features. No credibility, no consistency - the author has seriously let the readers down.
