Pressestimmen
“Rife with dastardly internecine struggles, smoldering illicit passion, and cowardly insidious betrayals…[the Deravenels] pack as much intrigue as any Shakespearean royal drama.”—Booklist
"Fans will be thrilled by the third Ravenscar book, a modern, corporate version of Tudor England.... Bradford is the master of grand, sweeping family sagas."
--RT Book Reviews
"Bradford transports us to a world of opulence, power and riches.... It never disappoints."
--Bookreporter.com
Kurzbeschreibung
At age twenty-five, Elizabeth Deravenel Turner finds herself in a position few women her age could image: the head of Deravenels, a business empire that spans the globe. It’s a company whose reach is wide and whose secrets are deep. Deravenels has roots that go far back in her family’s history—and she knows the price that many had to pay to see it reach the success it is today.
Elizabeth is the youngest executive in the company she now leads. Surrounded by rumors and disloyalty, she is aware that there are many people who would give anything to take down the company—and her with it. With her enemies circling, she finds herself at a crossroad of choices involving her mind, her heart, and her destiny. As scandal surrounds the one man she’s ever loved, Elizabeth discovers how the next move she makes could have deadly and final consequences…

Disappointing
7. September 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I have been a fan of Barbara Taylor Bradford from her very first book. While a few of her books have been short and sweet, I have never been disappointed in her plot lines, her heroines or writing. This book is truly a disappointment.
Elizabeth is a one dimensional character with a single flaw, she is marriage phobic. In the previous two books of this series, there is action, excitement and unexpected plot twists. This book has none of those things. It is boring, dull and predictable. The last twenty pages is an attempt to finally have something unexpected happen but it falls flat because it comes out of left field and ends predictably.
This is the last book of hers that I will read. What a waste of time.

A real disappointment from a favorite author...
28. Januar 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Barbara Taylor Bradford's "Woman of Substance" is one of my top 10 favorite books of all times. What a disappointment to read this poorly written, slow and laborious endeavor from someone who is capable of so much more!
When I got 3/4 of the way through the book, I mentioned to a friend that I was still waiting for something to happen. Well, I finished it, and nothing ever did happen. The book keeps acting as though something is ABOUT to happen, with referrences to a rival woman and other sub-plots, but nothing ever actually happened.
What a disapointing book - and a complete waste of time!

history revisted, badly
4. Oktober 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
What a disappointment. While I have enjoyed previous offerings by Mrs. Taylor Bradford, I do maintain a mostly moderate expectation of her works. They are generally acceptable summer or light reading. But this book, and it's earlier series companion books, has little to reccommend it.
"Being Elizabeth" is supposedly about a young, exceptional businesswoman making a name for herself, while rescuing her family enterprise from sure disaster. What this story is in actuality, is the story of Elizabeth I of England. Take the monarch out of the late 1500 and early 1600's and plop her, her cronies and antagonists into modern day and you've got yourself "Being Elizabeth". Not even the names were changed (much) to protect the fact that this story was long written before Mrs. Taylor Bradford was even born.
A waste of time, money and the good will of readers. Quite insulting to those truly expecting a "novel". Please avoid.
