AUDIO BOOK CHOICE IS.....
THE HEIR
BY BARBARA TAYLOR BRADFORD
ABOUT THE AUDIO BOOK:
At the age of thirty-three, Edward Deravenel, having survived harrowing years of betrayal, threats from ruthless enemies, countless lovers, and a war that ravaged his country, is finally king of his company. It’s 1918, an influenza pandemic is sweeping the country, and Edward has a family and a business to protect. He must thread his way between his loyal brother, Richard, and his treacherous middle brother, George, an alcoholic bent on self-destruction . . . but not before he tries to ruin Edward and his good name. Meanwhile, the wrath of his ever-jealous wife, Elizabeth, is reaching a boiling point as suspicions about Edward’s relationships with other women arise.
Politics of inheritance are intense, and different family factions vie for honor over the years. An heir is needed to keep the Deravenel name alive, but tragedy and death remain obstacles at every turn. The choices include a loyal caretaker, a jealous rumormonger, a charming young woman, a sickly boy, and the scion of the family Edward ousted from power years before.
Barbara Taylor Bradford triumphs once again with a novel about passion, treachery, marriage, and family, and the compromises we’re forced to make for power and love.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Barbara Taylor Bradford was born in Leeds, and by the age of twenty was an editor and columnist on Fleet Street. Her first novel, A Woman of Substance, became an enduring bestseller and was followed by twenty-two others, most recently The Ravenscar Dynasty. Her books have sold more than seventy-five million copies. She lives in New York City with her husband, television producer Robert Bradford.

I am interested to see how they could do everything during the spanish flu pandemic. (I tried to watch the videos, but they weren't there for me- it could be my computer)

I would like to read her other book,Just Rewards.

I listened to the audio. The person reading it has a very plesant voice. It was really good, I enjoyed listening to it.

Wow at 76 years old and 82 million books sold in 90 different countries … absolutely no matter how you measure it that is SUCCEES. She is one of wealthiest women writers in the world. The one thing that I found really interesting in the video is seeing her type on a typewriter … isn’t that a hoot! You sure don’t see many people using them today. I have never read any of Barbara’s novels and it may be because it’s a genre that I usually don’t read; however the video and this review has peaked my interest so I will drop my name in your “Plaza Suite Diamond Drape Hat” and hope for the best.

I enjoyed the audio tape which held excerpts from the Ravenscar Dynasty. The narrator's voice was well-suited to the material.

I watched the promo and loved the CBS morning intereview. I like that her detemination, strength and ambition spill over into her books. If all of her 24 previous books have been bestsellers, she must be doing something right. I would like to be entered in this book giveaway.

http://bookinwithbingo.blogspot.com/2011/01/are-you-listening-day-heir-preview-and.html Giveaway for audio of 'The Heir'
I would like to start off with her first book, 'A Woman of Substance'. Having heard about in the interview and read about on her website, it seems to speak of the qualities that the authr has herself.

The narrator's voice is very easy on the ears. I realy liked the opportunty to hear some of her writing read. The author writes of family intrigue in a bewitching manner.

I think it's an interesting time period...especially with all the flu epidemics etc. Thanks!

Loved all the Emma Harte books! Glad she's still writing good stories!

I remember reading "A Woman of Substance" when it was first published---I think it's time to re-read it now thirty years later.
farrll@crosslake.net
This book really interests me because our family just went through an "inheritance war" of it's own.
farrell@crosslake.net
This was supposed to be my first comment but it didn't seem to "take" earlier.
The reader's voice on the audio just seemed to draw me into the story---and it seemed to be just "British" enough for the book.
farrell@crosslake.net
Thanks for the giveaway. The audio books sound really good. Please enter me in contest. Tore923@aol.com

My husband's great grandparent died during the flu epidemic and his granddad, at only 18 months was raised by other relatives. I love to take a look at the world during that time.

The narrator has such a distinctive voice & would make listening to this book very easy.

I love books from this time period and would love to read how they overcome the challenge of the flu pandemic during this time with no vaccines for flu! (even if fictional)

To date, she's written 25 novels! Quite an accomplishment.

The narrator has such a smooth, rich voice that I forgot I was listening to an audio and felt more like I was there watching it happen.

This sounds like another of her hit books. She certainly is busy and a great story teller, too.

A Sudden Change of Heart is really good.

I listened to the audio excerpt and this sounds good.

I listen to audio books a lot and would like to listen to one of hers.
tanyag22@embarqmail.com
I'd love to read (or hear) about the trouble maker in their family. The biggest drama always happens at home!
I am interested in the story it sounds intriguing

I would want to win this just because of the author. I have read most all of her books. I remember reading the first one and from that time I waited for the next one to come out. The Heir has what I like in a book. The good guy struggling to do right and one or more bad brothers tearing it down. But.. I like to see how good overcomes the evil. ybutler@oppcatv.com
I would like to read the Breaking the Rules new book. I have not read this one but I know it will be as good as all the others.
Hearing about the audiobook with the voice reading with the emotions it has in it appeals to me. ybutler@oppcatv.com
The lead character is my namesake.
theyyyguy@yahoo.com
The book is interesting. The inheritance war is interesting. This era of our history with all the changes going on and the pandemic is interesting. My dad grew up during this period. I have always been interested in it. garrettsambo@aol.com

Please check your videos, as I had a hard time getting it to work and then could only watch some of it. However, what I did see was ok and the voice was very soothing.
