A review by mjbeens
A Woman of Substance by Barbara Taylor Bradford

1.0

There's a good story in here somewhere, a story built on feminism and ambition, and some drama in there too for good measure, it's just buried under hundreds and thousands of unnecessary words. This book is some 800 pages long.. never a bad thing of course but it really could have done with some cutting down. The writing style is very romance novel style, reading it felt like an American soap opera.

I got to page 415 (out of 830) at which point I declared NO MORE! I tried, I really did, but I am just going to cheat and read Wikipedia for the remaining storyline so that I am informed enough for book club!
