I gave Women of Substance a 4-1/2 star rating. I knew the book was large and the beginning dragged on. The author, I thought, went into too much detail about every little thing. I did skip over many paragraphs. Too much info that wasn't necessary. But boy, am I glad I stuck with this book. I read it every chance I had. Emma was an amazing women, very determined and had many husbands, children and grandchildren.
When reviewing a book I do not like going into details about the story. But let me tell you this this book is worth reading. Especially if you like reading about how the rich and the poor live years ago. Enjoy!
