Product Description

Review

Praise for Barbara Taylor Bradford: 'The storyteller of substance' The Times 'Queen of the genre' Sunday Times 'Few novelists are as consummate as Barbara Taylor Bradford at keeping the reader turning the page. She is one of the world's best at spinning yarns' Guardian 'Memorable and moving!a sure-fire winner' Express


Product Description

The dramatic new Ravenscar novel from the international bestselling author of Woman of Substance. As the First World War draws to a close, all seems golden for young Edward Deravenel, charismatic head of the family empire and master of Ravenscar. Yet beneath the surface lies discord. Elizabeth Deravenel, his beautiful wife, is jealous and her lies and gossip damage the family name. Worse still is Edward's brother George. His reckless behaviour and treachery lead to blackmail and betrayal. The fortunes of the house of Deravenel begin to suffer. It is up to Edward's daughter Bess, and her son Harry to secure the Ravenscar inheritance -- whatever it takes! Ravenscar: A House. A Legacy. A Dynasty.

1.0 out of 5 stars no stars, 14 Mar 2008
By Mrs. C. Hall "chris" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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)   
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

1.0 out of 5 stars The Lazy Author's Guide to Making (more) Megabucks, 14 Mar 2008
By Ms. K. Fielden (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Heirs of Ravenscar (Hardcover)
Oh dear!! Quite the most abysmal read I've had for a long time. Miss Taylor Bradford is well-known for her "blockbusters" - but this is the laziest piece of fiction mixed with "historical fact" in a weird kind of mish-mash - maybe she's trying to invent a new genre - "How to be Write a Novel where the Dear Reader Does Not Care About Any of the Main Characters" (and what a boring bunch these Deravenels are!) obviously ripping off the Plantagenets and the Tudors (I mean - Edward D even had a mistress called Jane Shaw - check your history books!). As for Harry Turner wanting to divorce pious, saintly RC Catherine, of Spanish extraction, to marry the (ahem) "sloe-eyed beaty Anne Bowles".... Dear Lord, it's put me off buying another book by this woman. Ever.
(God knows what the editorial team really thought about it... I'm guessing she's successful enough for them not to be, shall we say, completely honest.)
