    Reviewed in Canada on April 21, 2004
    I loved this book, but I'm reading them backwards. I started with the last book in the series, this one is the second. However I loved it. Some people may get confused with all the different ties between the families, but the book is a classic among romance novels. Highly recommended for a good albeit long read.

    After finishing A Woman of Substance, which I loved! I picked up this sequel, and oh my, the author does love describing every lamp and drape in the room! The story is predictable, and the characters are too, but I still found myself turning the pages, much like when I keep watching one of those cheesy TV dramas just to see how it ends. I did end up skipping a lot of the endless details near the end because it was just too much. If you enjoy lots of descriptions and a bit of romance and family drama, you might like it. Its not high literature by any means, but its a decent read for a rainy afternoon when you want something light.

    Easy to read and carrying on from Woman of Substance so following the family throughout the next generation and their continuation of running the various businesses which was started by their loving grandmother, Emma Harte who is still alive but in the background. Character detail and description of places occur frequently to bring you vividly into the setting as always Bradford Taylor presents so well. And it is so simple to read, put down and pick up and enjoy.
