In October of 2007, Barbara was appointed an OBE by the Queen for her services to literature.
Acclaim for the Cavendon series:
‘The four young women centre stage are a feistier lot than their
Downton counterparts…These are likeable, well-drawn characters
whose fortunes you follow with keen interest…neatly captures the
brittleness of the decade that danced and stumbled towards the
Great Depression.’ Daily Mail ‘Sweeping, fascinating and dramatic…
there’s even a nod to Emma Harte. The power and emotion come
through on every page’ Romantic Times Book Reviews ‘A classic saga
of loyalty, secrets, passion and intrigue…if you’ve been suffering
withdrawal symptoms from Downton, this is for you’ Daily Mail ‘A
stately home, a dangerous secret and two families whose fates have
been intertwined for generations…a gripping period piece set on the
brink of the Great War. Exquisite escapism of the highest order.’
The Lady ‘A glorious family saga for Downton Abbey fans…This is
Barbara Taylor Bradford in her element, full of drama, passion,
romance and danger.’ Sarah Broadhurst, lovereading.co.uk
