Summary: A Woman of Substance it isn't
Comment: I read "A Woman Of Substance" about 20 years ago, and LOVED It. When I read that there was a new book in the series, I was thrilled. But let me say that "Emma's Secret" is NOT on the same level as the first book!
This book starts out with a death of a woman and the request to her granddaughter to find Emma Harte. So off the England the reader goes where they meet the newest generation of the Harte family who frankly lead soap opera lives. About 3/4 in the book the reader finds themshelves in War-Time London with Emma Harte, who has seem to lost her fire since reading the first book. Then after only a few chapters we are back with the young people for the secret to be known to all.
This book was not good at all in my opinion. It didn't not need to be written. The only reason that I gave the book two stars were for the war-time chapters. In truth, Ms. Bradford should had let the Harte family go out on the hight note.

Summary: Emma's Return Leaves You Hanging
Comment: After months of waiting, I just picked up Emma's Secret last night. It took me a whole day, but I managed to read the entire epic with minimal distraction. All I can say is WOW!
Aside from getting a peek a Emma Harte's life during the war years, this book is really about the next generation. And Barbara Taylor delivers another classic page-turner in the spirit of A Woman of Substance.
Few authors, if any can build a story like Mrs. Bradford. She is classy, descriptive and makes you feel as though you were right there in the room with the characters. Emma's Secret is no different.
But what is different from this book, as compared with others from her recent past is the element of suspense and uncertainty. Unlike earlier books that stand alone, this one resolves a family secret, then leaves a major mystery for undoubtedly another sequel.
Anyone who enjoyed A Woman of Substance (which has probably sold more copies than Shakespeare), will be entertained by Emma's Secret. It is Barbara Taylor Bradford at the very top of her game!
Rating: 5
Summary: A Great Follow Up
Comment: Emma's Secret is one of the best books I've ever read. Barbara Taylor Bradford has out done herself with this addition to the "Woman of Substance" saga. Read it.
