Author Barbara Taylor Bradford is best known for her best-selling novels which include “A Woman Of Substance” which was published in 1979. This novel sold 30 million copies. It was also adapted for TV, and Bradford went on to write seven sequels.
Bradford was far from a one-hit wonder. Besides “A Woman Of Substance” and the sequels to this novel, Bradford wrote dozens of other novels. In fact, she wrote a total of 40 novels throughout her writing career.
Now comes the sad news that Bradford has d*ed at the age of 91 years old.Yahoo! reports the kind tribute that Bradford’s publisher and editor Lynne Drew wrote. Drew shared, “Dominating the bestseller lists, she broke new ground with her sweeping epic novels spanning generations, novels which were resolutely not romances, and she epitomised the woman of substance she created, particularly with her ruthless work ethic.”
Drew went on to describe Bradford as “perennially curious, interested in everyone and extraordinarily driven.” She added that Bradford was “an inspiration for millions of readers and countless writers.”
