Book Review:
Barbara Taylor Bradford, the beloved author of ''A Woman of Substance,'' returns with another sweeping family saga in ''Being Elizabeth.'' The novel follows Elizabeth Turner, a young woman destined to inherit her family's centuries-old business empire. At just twenty-five, she must navigate the treacherous waters of a male-dominated corporate world while dealing with the complexities of her personal life—including a scandalous affair with her childhood friend Robert, who is already married. Bradford masterfully weaves together themes of ambition, love, betrayal, and the struggle for power. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Yorkshire moors and the glamour of London, this novel is a testament to Bradford's enduring talent as the ''Queen of the Genre'' as proclaimed by the Sunday Times. Fans of family sagas with strong female protagonists will find much to love in Elizabeth Turner's story.
