Nostos Nest | Real Stories of Burnout, Personal Growth & Mental Health

A Woman Of Substance

I first read A Woman of Substance as a teenager, and it’s stayed in my mind ever since. Barbara Taylor Bradford’s sweeping story of Emma Harte – a young woman who rises from hardship to build a life of strength, independence, and purpose – is as timeless as it is inspiring. It’s a story about resilience, identity, and finding your way home to yourself, even when the world underestimates you. A perfect fit for the spirit of Nostos Nest.

A Woman Of Substance [40th Anniversary Edition]: The bestselling, unforgettable epic family saga of drama, betrayal and revenge.

The unputdownable multi-million copy bestseller charting the rags to riches story of Emma Harte

With new Foreword from Fern Britton.

A WOMAN’S AMBITION…
In the brooding moors above a humble Yorkshire village stood Fairley Hall. There, Emma Harte, its oppressed but resourceful servant girl, acquired a shrewd determination. There, she honed her skills, discovered the meaning of treachery, learned to survive, to become a woman, and vowed to make her mark on the world.

A JOURNEY OF A LIFETIME…
In the wake of tragedy she rose from poverty to magnificent wealth as the iron-willed force behind a thriving international enterprise. As one of the richest women in the world Emma Harte has almost everything she fought so hard to achieve-save for the dream of love, and for the passion of the one man she could never have.

A DREAM FULFILLED-AND AVENGED.
Through two marriages, two devastating wars, and generations of secrets, Emma’s unparalleled success has come with a price. As greed, envy, and revenge consume those closest to her, the brilliant matriarch now finds herself poised to outwit her enemies, and to face the betrayals of the past with the same ingenious resolve that forged her empire.
