About this book

Barbara Taylor Bradford's A Woman of Substance traces Emma Harte's life across multiple generations. The novel follows Emma from the servants' quarters of a Yorkshire manor house to the leadership of a profitable international business, chronicling her rise from poverty to wealth in upper society. Emma's story unfolds against the backdrop of twentieth-century history, shaped by her unbreakable spirit and resolve. Central to her journey is her relationship with one man she cannot have, and another she yearns for. The novel explores themes of money, power, passion, and revenge. This New York Times bestseller was adapted into a 1984 miniseries and later into a BritBox series.
