The Wonder of It All: A House of Falconer Novel
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
From New York Times bestselling author Barbara Taylor Bradford comes the long-anticipated final novel in the House of Falconer trilogy.
James Falconer—a tycoon and a self-made man—seems to have the world in the palm of his hand. But the Great War looms, and James decides to fight for king and country. The fighting is bloody and brutal, and James returns a changed man, with wounds both physical and mental. His beloved wife is dead, but a new woman returns to help nurse him back to health.
Georgiana Ward once held James in her thrall, but years have passed and bitterness has set in. Still, the old attraction is there and James is determined to make amends to both Georgiana and his child Leonie—now a grown woman and someone he hasn't seen in decades. Leonie is having none of it, and is embarking on a dangerous journey with a man who might very well destroy her. As James fights to return to the man he once was, he needs to find a way to heal his body, soul, and family.
Told with Barbara Taylor Bradford's inimitable style and flair for period detail, The Wonder of It All concludes House of Falconer trilogy that has followed the story of this remarkable family from Victorian times to the 20th century.

Bradford concludes her House of Falconer trilogy (after In the Lion’s Den) with an affecting story of James Falconer’s WWI service and return to London civilian life at age 48. Sixteen years after his wife and son died in childbirth, Falconer, now a British Army major, fearlessly leads his men into the Battle of the Somme, not caring if he lives or dies. He’s wounded, and both of his legs are severely injured, though he’s eventually able to walk again. He resumes running his profitable London retail chain, but is forced to close some of the outlets due to the economic downturn following the war. Meanwhile, James reignites his relationship with Georgiana Ward, who bore his daughter, Leonie, out of wedlock 28 years ago. Georgina rejects his marriage proposal, however, fearing Leonie will never forgive him for not being present during her childhood. James then meets beautiful and accomplished newspaper columnist Annabel Kelsey. Though the attraction between them is intense, James believes Annabel is too young for him, but his friends and family try to convince him otherwise. Bradford’s tale is enriched by dynamic characters, especially James, who heroically persists in his effort to rebuild his life. It’s a satisfying culmination to a richly drawn historical series.
