Free (Kindle) Angel by Barbara Taylor Bradford [Orphaned Friendship Epic Drama Novel]

[ATDrake]

Angel by bestselling novelist and OBE Barbara Taylor Bradford (Wikipedia) is her apparently standalone sweeping contemporary drama novel chock-full of glamour, intrigue, passion, betrayal, and romance, between four orphaned young boys and girls who forge a strong friendship and find their lives intertwined as they rise from poverty to positions of power in adulthood and experience the obligatory tragedy and triumph along the way as they go from innocence to corruption, free courtesy of publisher RosettaBooks, who are e-printing it from its original 1993 edition.

This is RosettaBooks' daily Valentine's Day Countdown giveaway selection for Feb 8th.

Currently free, just for today @ Amazon (available to Canadians, but apparently HarperCollins still owns the rights for this in most places worldwide).

And this has been the selected 3rd (non-repeat) free ebook thread of the day.

A bit by default, but it's nice to be offered another former bestselling novel from a bestselling author, and one that focuses on enduring male and female friendships and found families as well (generally a little rare in the grand sweeping dramatic sagas we get during romance-oriented promotions), even if only a subset of Gentle Readers can (officially) get it.

Enjoy, and Happy Lunar New Year of the Monkey! <-- weirdly, we lack a dancing banana smiley like most other forums have, so I guess we just have the dancing lock to celebrate with -->

Description
Orphaned at a young age, the lives of Rosie, Gavin, Nell, and Kevin are irrevocably intertwined. Rising from poverty, all four go on to stunning success: Rosie as an award-winning costume designer; Gavin as a world-renowned Hollywood actor; Nell as the head of a global public relations company; and Kevin as the head of the NYPD Crime Intelligence Commission and a leader in the fight against organized crime.

Told with the broad scope and narrative power characteristic of Barbara Taylor Bradford, this book is the story of a family formed by fortune, not blood, as they lose their innocence, follow their passions, triumph over adversity, and ultimately transform their own lives.
