The sweeping, rags to riches page-turner about the Hardacre family. Follow generations of the Hardacres from Victorian times to the 1950s.

The No. 1 international bestseller that has captivated generations of readers. This is the original spellbinding blockbuster that inspired the new television period drama series The Hardacres.

Hard-working but poor, Sam Hardacre struggles to make ends meet. But he has ambitions for a far better life for himself and his family. Through drive and determination he builds a business empire and amasses a fortune. But the Hardacres discover that money doesn't always buy happiness.

Sam's wife, Mary began life as a penniless street urchin. It's a far cry from her new role as mistress of a grand house in Yorkshire. Their sons, Joe and Harry, bring them both joy and heartache. Meanwhile, daughter Jane is born into a life of privilege, with no experience of their earlier poverty. These three siblings and their offspring will know love and hate, passion and tragedy.

The lives of the Hardacres are shaped by the extraordinary events of the Boer War, the Great War, the Wall Street Crash, the Second World War, Hitler's Germany and the London Blitz. This sweeping family saga will keep you gripped until the last page.
