Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
When you have everything, what more can you ask for? Rosie Thomas poses this question for her heroine in A Woman of Our Times, the author's most gripping and involving novel since Other People's Marriages. As in that book, Thomas achieves a perfect union between her strongly drawn characters and smooth-as-silk plotting, and the reader is quickly involved in Harriet's struggle to maintain her business empire and deal with her tangled love life. Harriet has progressed from small shopkeeper to become a City favourite as her business steams ahead. She's been linked in the columns with film star Caspar Jensen but an involvement with Simon Archer, who invented a game of chance 40 years ago in a prison camp, will still significantly affect her life. Thomas is just as comfortable with the boardroom clashes as she is with the passionate involvements of her protagonist. Although we've seen heroines like Harriet before, there is more than enough individuality here to mark her out as a powerful central character. --Barry Forshaw --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
From the author of "Strangers", "The White Dove" and "Bad Girls, Good Women", this is a story of money and the effects it can have. Bored Harriet meets an ex-POW who gives her a game of his own invention. She realizes its potential and soon earns a fortune - but she is changed fundamentally.
