I'm a big fan of Barbara Taylor Bradford and this book did not disappoint!
This novel transports you to Victorian England where you follow a very charming, likeable main character.
I think this book will be liked by all of BTBs fans, well worth a read.

Bradford has been a household name since she published A Woman of Substance, I have read all of her books since, but none have compared to that first series. But this book comes close, I’m happy to say. The story of a young boy determined to claw his way to the top in Victorian England has plenty of similarities to Taylor’s first book. James is similar to Emma in that he refuses to let his lowly beginning determine his fate. I was reluctant to try this after Bradford’s last series, which I found to be rather lifeless, but I’m glad I read this and I believe the author’s fans will be delighted as wel
