'Few novelists are as consummate as Barbara Taylor Bradford at keepng the reader turning the page. She is one of the world's best at spinning yarns.' Guardian

Hopelessly contrived, soapy little romance between interior-decorator Maggie, a 43year-old recent divorcee with two estranged college-aged children, and her soulmate Jake, a 28-year-old Tom Cruise look-alike whose own bad marriage - to Amy, who's too negative, who doesn't look on the bright side - has also collapsed. Before the 'roundthe-Christmas-tree close, there'll be terminal illness (for bad-attitude Amy), a fatal car crash, an unexpected (but not unwanted, of course) pregnancy, and a trip to Paradise and back. Literally. Love Story mixes with Embraced by the Light mixes with lots of phony psychologizing - and, yes, huge-seller potential. (Kirkus Reviews)
