Barbara Taylor Bradford's The Emma Harte Saga begins with this record-shattering New York Times bestseller that traces Emma Harte's legacy through multiple generations of indomitable women.
From the servants' quarters of a manor house on the brooding Yorkshire moors to the helm of a profitable international business, Emma Harte's life is a sweeping saga of unbreakable spirit and resolve. Rising from abject poverty to glittering wealth at the upper echelons of society, there is only one man the indomitable Emma cannot have--and only one she yearns for. The novel was also the subject of a popular 1984 miniseries starring Jenny Seagrove and Deborah Kerr.

"Tailor-made for fans of McCullough's Thornbirds." --Publishers Weekly
