Fiction. Literature. Historical Fiction. HTML:

At the age of thirty-three, Edward Deravenel, having survived harrowing years of betrayal, threats from ruthless enemies, countless lovers, and a war that ravaged his country, is finally king of his company. It's 1918, an influenza pandemic is sweeping the country, and Edward has a family and a business to protect. He must thread his way between his loyal brother, Richard, and his treacherous middle brother, George, an alcoholic bent on self-destruction . . . but not before he tries to ruin Edward and his good name. Meanwhile, the wrath of his ever-jealous wife, Elizabeth, is reaching a boiling point as suspicions about Edward's relationships with other women arise.
Politics of inheritance are intense, and different family factions vie for honor over the years. An heir is needed to keep the Deravenel name alive, but tragedy and death remain obstacles at every turn. The choices include a loyal caretaker, a jealous rumormonger, a charming young woman, a sickly boy, and the scion of the family Edward ousted from power years before.
Barbara Taylor Bradford triumphs once again with a novel about passion, treachery, marriage, and family, and the compromises we're forced to make for power and love.

although I didn't read the first book, ravenscar dynasty, I was able to pick up where it was left off. however, it's lull at the start but luckily picks up in the mid onwards. towards the end felt rushed, as though the author wanted to have a closure to the end of the saga. ( )

Couldn't even finish reading it - I though I liked her writing but this was boring!!!! ( )

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.

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. ( )

Edward was een edel mens en had een optimistische instelling.Toch kon hij, wanneer hij een boos gezicht moest opzetten, heel angstwekkend op zijn omgeving overkomen. Voor zijn vrienden en anderen was hij gemalle;ijk toegankelijk, zelfs voor wie het laagst in aanzien stond. Dominic Mancini

Wee mij, ik zie de ondergang van mijn huis! Nu heeft de tijger de slanke ree gepakt, En dra vergrijpt verwaten tirannien Zich aan de onnozele, eerbiedloze troon: Welkom verdelging, bloedvergieten, slachting! Ik zie, als op een kaart, de grenslijn reeds! William Shakespeare: Richard III, Akte II, Scène I
