"The Women In His Life" Taken from the flap of the book: At the center of Barbara Taylor Bradford's new international bestseller stands Maximilian West, billionaire tycoon, corporate raider extraordinaire, a man of almost mythical power and intense glamour, blessed with irresistible charm. Seemingly a man who has everything - success, money, women - in reality he is riven by internal conflict and personal unhappiness. The mystery of the inner man has never been penetrated by the women who have loved him: Anastasia, his first wife and the mother of his two children; Camilla, the beautiful English actress who captivates him; Adriana, the American career woman, who would compete with him; Blair, his mistress and mother of his illegitimate daughter, scheming to be his wife. Even Maxim is at a loss to understand himself and his actions, and it is only at a moment of great personal crisis that he is forced to confront and come to terms with his turbulent past. A compelling and dramatic novel filled with the emotion and tension which readers have come to expect from Barbara Taylor Bradford, the story sweeps from London and New York in the present, to war-torn Berlin of the thirties and forties, Paris, Tangier and Madrid from the fifties to the late 1970s, and back to Berlin for the extraordinary climax in 1989. Before Maxim can resolve his destiny he must face his true identity. And there is only one woman in the world who can reveal the truth.
