Quite enjoyed this book， but found the characters a bit stuffy， not sure if that was what the author was aiming for。 Story was good though。

The Wonder of It All AUDIO by Barbara Taylor Bradford was a totally enjoyable listen。 Set in England after World War I， the main character was James Falconer， a man who was born to humble circumstances but had risen to be the mogul he was currently。 He had served in the war and nearly lost both his legs， but fought through it and was almost back to himself。 He had lost his beloved wife in childbirth， after several miscarriages， years before， and was casually seeing an earlier love， one who had b The Wonder of It All AUDIO by Barbara Taylor Bradford was a totally enjoyable listen。 Set in England after World War I， the main character was James Falconer， a man who was born to humble circumstances but had risen to be the mogul he was currently。 He had served in the war and nearly lost both his legs， but fought through it and was almost back to himself。 He had lost his beloved wife in childbirth， after several miscarriages， years before， and was casually seeing an earlier love， one who had borne him a child。 He wanted them to marry; she did not。 So， he broke it off with her。 It was the Depression era and although he owned many enterprises， his retail and his wine importing/exporting were not doing well， so he worked continually to see them through the crisis。 It was a very formal book， but intriguing， none the less。 James was a man of honor and a well-written character。 The listener/reader saw him from many angles and the final opinion was always the same。 For most of the book he was in his late forties and had was taking his age too seriously。 His friends and sisters wouldn’t allow it and so kept him in the loop of the changing world。 His adult daughter， his only child， had no use for him as he had stopped seeing her when she was thirteen and he had gone into a deep depression after the death of his wife。 She didn’t understand or it had never been explained to her so she held a grudge。 She was another interesting character， with a myriad of issues。 This was a time of deep change in the world and this story reflected that。 There was not really a plot， rather it was a slice of life story， stretching over several years， with memories intruding， sometimes at less-than-convenient times。 I enjoyed both the listen and the read。 It was narrated by Joan Walker who did a superb job， making one feel as if she were there。 Her mild accent was perfect and she ably kept the multiple characters in check without resorting to cheap theatrics。 It was a good read， but it was a better listen。 I was invited to read a free e-ARC and listen to an audio ARC of The Wonder of It All by St。 Martin’s Press， and Macmillan Audio， both through Netgalley。 All thoughts and opinions are mine。 #Netgalley #StMartinsPress #MacmillanAudio #BarbaraTaylorBradford #TheWonderOfItAll 。。。more

The last book of Barbara Taylor Bradford’s Falconer series， the Wonder of it All， finds James Falconer home from WWI。 He is a war casualty and is recovering from serious physical wounds 。 Additionally， his wife has died， causing him great emotional pain on top of his poor physical condition Georgiana Ward steps up to the job of tending his needs while healing and the possibility of rekindled romance lingers。 James’ now almost grown up daughter ， Leonie ， wants nothing to due with the father who The last book of Barbara Taylor Bradford’s Falconer series， the Wonder of it All， finds James Falconer home from WWI。 He is a war casualty and is recovering from serious physical wounds 。 Additionally， his wife has died， causing him great emotional pain on top of his poor physical condition Georgiana Ward steps up to the job of tending his needs while healing and the possibility of rekindled romance lingers。 James’ now almost grown up daughter ， Leonie ， wants nothing to due with the father who abandoned her in childhood。 James is a wealthy man and would like Leonie to be his heir。 Leonie is steadfast in her refusal of reconciliation。 Ms Bradford is an author whose stories I always look forward to reading。 Her characters， particularly her female characters， are noteworthy and well depicted。 Not so with this book。 It was an audio version and somehow lacked the depth of character and plot I expected。 Mostly， this is a romantic tale complete with moderately detailed love scenes。 While I did listen until the end， I didn’t feel very connected to the outcome of what I consider an average book。 Three generous stars for this one。 Thank you to NetGalley and MacMillan audio for providing me with this book in exchange for an honest review。 It will be published on December 5 and those who have read the first two parts of the trilogy will be anxious to read the final installment。 。。。more

I love family sagas and this is what attracted me to this book。 I decided to the previous two （Mater of His fate and In the Lion’s Den） and follow with this one。I enjoyed the overall story of the Falconers， a real rags to riches story。 It is entertaining and light， pleasant to read。The first books are offering more of a historical backdrop with， in my view， more depth into describing the cultural， political and societal situation at the time。 I thought this third book was less rich in historical I love family sagas and this is what attracted me to this book。 I decided to the previous two （Mater of His fate and In the Lion’s Den） and follow with this one。I enjoyed the overall story of the Falconers， a real rags to riches story。 It is entertaining and light， pleasant to read。The first books are offering more of a historical backdrop with， in my view， more depth into describing the cultural， political and societal situation at the time。 I thought this third book was less rich in historical background and was much more focussed on the Falconer empire and his private life。 The plot was lighter but I liked the characters and the atmosphere of the book。 I enjoyed the read。 Definitely a good idea to read all the books to get the entire story。 。。。more

I was excited to get an ARC via NetGalley from Barbara Taylor Bradford， having loved her Emma Harte series （A Woman of Substance）。 However， this one left me baffled。 I felt it was very weak writing and droll。 Characters were too proper and not engaging at all。 I didn't like the characters， shat a spoiled brat Leonie was， and James Falconer seemed to be just too sweet。 While I plodded on to the end it was a struggle。 Sad to say， I was disappointed in this story。 That being said， I still will look I was excited to get an ARC via NetGalley from Barbara Taylor Bradford， having loved her Emma Harte series （A Woman of Substance）。 However， this one left me baffled。 I felt it was very weak writing and droll。 Characters were too proper and not engaging at all。 I didn't like the characters， shat a spoiled brat Leonie was， and James Falconer seemed to be just too sweet。 While I plodded on to the end it was a struggle。 Sad to say， I was disappointed in this story。 That being said， I still will look for more books by Barbara Taylor Bradford。 Many thanks to #netgalley #barbarataylorbradfor #thewonderofitall for the opportunity to read and review this book。 。。。more

"The Wonder of it All" is the third in “House of Falconer” series by Barbara Taylor Bradford。 While other reviewers have said that this is last in the series， I can find no credible evidence one way or the other so I will just have to wait and see。 The ending certainly leads one to believe that there will be another。 I am not sure that this would be a stand alone story。 I think the reader would be missing too much of the story to pick it up at this point。 James Falconer has recently returned wou "The Wonder of it All" is the third in “House of Falconer” series by Barbara Taylor Bradford。 While other reviewers have said that this is last in the series， I can find no credible evidence one way or the other so I will just have to wait and see。 The ending certainly leads one to believe that there will be another。 I am not sure that this would be a stand alone story。 I think the reader would be missing too much of the story to pick it up at this point。 James Falconer has recently returned wounded from the war physically and emotionally。 This sets the story line for a journey of healing and self discovery。 Upon James’ return he feels that he must put the rebuilding of his business first。 Due to the economic challenges of the time he devotes all his energy to his business for his family， his workers and his community。While I am a huge Barbara Taylor Bradford fan， this book left me flat。 At times it was too descriptive and I skimmed over those parts。 On the other hand there is so much repetition of information of and about the characters that it became annoying。 The other thing that bothered me was that some things were never followed up on so you are left hanging。 While the ending was neatly packaged and some what satisfying it was ‘meh’。I would like to thank the author， St。 Martin’s Press and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

Barbara Taylor Bradford weaves hope， family heritage， suspense and mystery while connecting emotionally with readers through rejection， acceptance， and forgiveness。 As always， vivid descriptions and period detail provide a true sense of place and the development of strong male and female characters with integrity， ambition， and drive appeals to generations of readers。 Worth the wait！

The Wonder of It All is the third book of The House of Falconer series by Barbara Taylor Bradford。 I regret that I had not read the other two books but nonetheless was able to follow the story of James Falconer。 I found the audio book very well done including the storytelling， narration by Jean Walker， and musical compliments。 It felt as if I was listening to a Masterpiece Theater movie with the language and cultural interactions between characters befitting of its time （WWI）。 This is a story ab The Wonder of It All is the third book of The House of Falconer series by Barbara Taylor Bradford。 I regret that I had not read the other two books but nonetheless was able to follow the story of James Falconer。 I found the audio book very well done including the storytelling， narration by Jean Walker， and musical compliments。 It felt as if I was listening to a Masterpiece Theater movie with the language and cultural interactions between characters befitting of its time （WWI）。 This is a story about rebuilding and redemption。 James Falconer returns home from The Great War a changed man。 He had gone off to war a self-made， likeable， respected， even tempered man， however with the loss of his wife and wounds from war， he is now suffering both physically and mentally。 He is nursed back to health by Georgiana， a nurse， whom he knows from his "old life"。 As he heals， he seeks to right the wrongs and reconnect with his now grown daughter。 The reader is taken on that journey by the lovely writing of Barbara Taylor Bradford。 The Wonder of It All is reminiscent of John Jakes and his "Love and War" series。 I enjoyed it and plan to go back and read the first two books in the series。 Thank you to Saint Martin's Press and NetGalley for providing me a copy of the audio book。 It was a pleasure。 。。。more

I enjoyed the book as the characters are easy to identify and the plot keeps the reader interested until the end。 I did feel the author spent too much time describing every dress， suit， room and furniture。 I felt it wasn’t necessary to have to do that to get the idea of the surroundings。 With that said I will read the other books to finish the series。
