Title: A Woman of Substance it isn't
Review: I read "A Woman Of Substance" about 20 years ago, and LOVED It. When I read that there was a new book in the series, I was thrilled. But let me say that "Emma's Secret" is NOT on the same level as the first book!This book starts out with a death of a woman and the request to her granddaughter to find Emma Harte. So off the England the reader goes where they meet the newest generation of the Harte family who frankly lead soap opera lives. About 3/4 in the book the reader finds themshelves in War-Time London with Emma Harte, who has seem to lost her fire since reading the first book. Then after only a few chapters we are back with the young people for the secret to be known to all.This book was not good at all in my opinion. It didn't not need to be written. The only reason that I gave the book two stars were for the war-time chapters. In truth, Ms. Bradford should had let the Harte family go out on the hight note.
Is the review positive or negative?
