Bestselling British-American author Barbara Taylor Bradford passed away on Sunday at the age of 91. She died peacefully at her home after a brief illness. She wrote 40 novels and sold 91 million books worldwide during her prolific career.

Bradford’s debut novel, “A Woman of Substance,” catapulted her to fame and became an instant success upon its release in 1979. The story, which traces the journey of Emma Harte from servant to business empire leader, resonated with millions, encapsulating themes of resilience and triumph over adversity.

Born in Leeds, England, in May 1933, Bradford started her career as a typist for The Yorkshire Evening Post before becoming a reporter. After moving to London at age 20, she ventured into fiction writing. She authored several unfinished manuscripts before achieving breakthrough success with “A Woman of Substance.”

The novel garnered critical acclaim and inspired a double Emmy-nominated miniseries in 1985, starring Liam Neeson and British actress Jenny Seagrove as Emma Harte. After mourning the loss, Seagrove remembered Bradford as a “dear friend” and a “powerhouse of glamour and warmth.”

Charlie Redmayne, CEO of HarperCollins, lauded her as a “truly exceptional writer,” emphasizing that “A Woman of Substance” profoundly impacted its readers and continues to do so.

Bradford, who had resided in the United States since 1964 following her marriage to American film producer Robert Bradford, will be buried next to her late husband in New York’s Westchester Hills Cemetery. She leaves a legacy celebrated for her storytelling prowess and memorable connection to her Yorkshire roots.
