About this listen
A WOMAN'S AMBITION…
In the brooding moors above a humble Yorkshire village stood Fairley Hall. There, Emma Harte, its oppressed but resourceful servant girl, acquired a shrewd determination. There, she honed her skills, discovered the meaning of treachery, learned to survive, to become a woman, and vowed to make her mark on the world.
A JOURNEY OF A LIFETIME…
In the wake of tragedy she rose from poverty to magnificent wealth as the iron-willed force behind a thriving international enterprise. As one of the richest women in the world Emma Harte has almost everything she fought so hard to achieve-save for the dream of love, and for the passion of the one man she could never have.
A DREAM FULFILLED-AND AVENGED.
Through two marriages, two devastating wars, and generations of secrets, Emma's unparalleled success has come with a price. As greed, envy, and revenge consume those closest to her, the brilliant matriarch now finds herself poised to outwit her enemies, and to face the betrayals of the past with the same ingenious resolve that forged her empire.

A Woman of Substance
This Audio book was as good as reading the original, which I must have read over and over in years gone by (so much so the front cover wore out) but which I lost in floods in 2010/11. This book was a reminder of how books used to be written; proper English, big and expressive words. Bea Holland did a fantastic job as narrator and I’m glad she gave up trying to affect the Australian accent in the end. Truly a great sweeping saga!

Absolutely the best novel I have read!
This novel is by far the best I have ever read (or listened to). My mum named me after Emma before I was born and being 30 years old now, I finally read the book. It is so incredibly heartwarming, touching and inspiring. Cried and laughed on numerous occasions. Wonderful narration also. 10/10 would recommend!
