Meredith Stratton seems to have everything she could want as a successful businesswoman and owner of six elegant inns all over the world. Suddenly she begins to suffer from a strange illness that has no physical cause. With the help of a psychiatrist, Meredith peels back the layers of her most careful creation- herself. Tracing her roots back to another country, she discovers not only the key to her past but to her future happiness and fulfillment as a woman. Her Own Rules explores the inexplicable twists of fate and, above all, the healing power of love. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Love Story with a Mysterious TwistThis is a love story with a mysterious twist. It slips back and forth from present to the past, and the heroine discovers that the sad childhood she had has more to it than she actually remembers. She was a part of history. This story has a historical basis for her sad childhood. I was intrigued and went on-line to check out the news of the subject and discovered that my memory was correctly tweaked and found articles about English children in orphanages. A great listen! Rating:  - Not so goodI was anxious to read this book after noting the good reviews it had recieved, but was very disappointed. The entire book dealt more with the details of remodeling Inns than it did with the characters. Too much time wasted telling a story that was mediocre at best. The ending was also tedious. dead end after dead end leaving no time for a proper conclusion. Rating:  - touchingBarbara Taylor Bradford really touched me with this book. I normally read mysteries, thriller, and suspense. This book held my attention through out the book. I really felt Merediths' pain and struggle. I recently saw the movie on channel 8, the producers did the novel no justice. For those who saw the movie and did not read the novel, please read the novel. This is must read. Rating:  - idealistic but funThis book was fun to read but Barbara Taylor Bradford usually leads us way beyond the everyday realities of life. Her heroine (as usual) is beautiful and bright and is an awesome business tycoon (even though she has no education, training, or experience in these matters). She becomes a perfect mother, friend, and homemaker. Unlike most of us, her very sad past never seems to daunt her ability to rise above all. This is a perfect book for idealists. Rating: - Typical Barbara Taylor Bradford!!!!A very fast read. Good book. Element of mystery. Always look forward to her next book |
