Master of His Fate | Barbara Taylor Bradford
7 posts | 4 read | 4 to read
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Barbara Taylor Bradford comes the first book in a stunning new historical saga. Victorian England is a country of sharp divides between rich and poor, but James Lionel Falconer, who spends his days working at his fathers market stall, is determined to become a merchant prince. Even as a child, he is everything a self-made man should be: handsome, ambitious, charming, and brimming with self-confidence. James quickly rises through the ranks, proving himself both hardworking and trustworthy, and catching the eye of Henry Malvern, head of the most prestigious shipping company in London. But when threats against his reputation and his life - begin to emerge, James will have to prove that he truly is the master of his fate. Through scandal and romance, tragedy and triumph, the Falconer and Malvern familys lives intertwine in unexpected ways in this expansive and intricately detailed new novel filled with drama, intrigue, and Bradford's trademark cast of compelling characters.

So glad a friend of mine suggested this book to me. I liked it a lot. It reminded me of "The Clifton Chronicles" by Jeffery Archer. Can't wait for the next one to see what happens next.

First week of February and I am able to set outside and read. Thought I would do it today, 73 degrees, because by Friday the high will be 45 degrees. If you don't like the weather in Arkansas, stick around because it will change within a day or two 🤗

SassyBookworm Sound like our weather here in Kentucky! 😂 5y
Monica5 @SassyBookworm I guess both states have crazy weather😀 5y

Mehso-so

My first BTB book, and it just wasn‘t for me. I would give it a pan, but I felt that a bit harsh.

The characters did not feel real to me, their conversations stilted and unnatural for the most part. There were stretches of encyclopedic prose defining things that were already clear to me...irritating and unnecessary.

Beginning of a series that I probably won‘t continue. No offense to her fans. 2/5⭐️

tammysue Her books are always a hit or miss for me. I really enjoyed this one 6y
robinb @whatshesreadingnow I think that may have been her first one. I‘m really wondering if at 85 she‘s still writing her own books. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I really wanted to like it. Just too simplistically written...I felt like she wasn‘t giving her audience credit for having a brain. 6y
