First Danielle Steele book I read. The appearance of the book is so creepy because of small characters and its thickness but the author made the plot good enough to indulge myself into the story.It has the same story with all the WWII-inspired plots that revolved around loss and hope but Steele created an in-depth plot her work that made my imagination vivid. Her difference however, is the story's numerous twists and turns and sub-stories that revolved around 3 generations of the Van Gotthards c...
I didn't think I would enjoy this book as I am not so keen on books set in the 2nd world war. I was incredibly pleasantly surprised. Very enjoyable.
I've received many DS books as gifts over the years but this is the first one I've tried to read. I struggled manfully. A google search will render many articles on why DS books are rubbish so I won't go into it too much but, essentially, I found the characters vapid and unsympathetic. There was only one who held some interest and when he was killed off I didn't feel compelled to continue.
Daniel Steele I know 🙄 BUT this is an incredible story which is partly why it’s in my favourites folder the real reason it’s here is because it is the “first” novel I ever read! This book provided me with my first chaotic reading experience you know the can’t put you down, this is the last page else tomorrow is going to be terrible kind of reads ...... I was at boarding school sitting in the middle of the night in a bathroom because it was the only place there was light 🤣 I was hooked from this
This was the last bookm I read. It was historical, sad, interesting and touching. The things Ariana went through, she is tough. U learn a lot by the way. I love World War II stories especially from German. It tells the tells of what people went through to be great today. From Kassandra and Walmar, to Ariana, Manfred, Ariana reaching the states, meeting the Leibmans, being mistreated and surviving, her Noel and Tamara. U just put yourself in her shoes and u see that for to fit, u need to be stron...
Wonderful read! interesting and engaging storyline.. (paperback!)
I had read this off my grandmother's shelf when I was in high school, and I fell in love with the story. WWII, romance, generational saga - what was not to love? I had forgotten the details a bit, and when searching for some choices for a staff picks display, I ordered it to re-read.I'm so happy I did. I definitely look at the book a little bit differently now, almost 20 years later. I've read A LOT more WWII fiction, but this is probably one of the books that made me fall in love with the histo...
I used to read this author's books many years ago. last year I was given 3 boxes full of her books which I have been slowly working my way through! I find its very easy to recognise a Danielle steel book and I have to say she always delivers. I thought I had read this book years ago but once I started the book I obviously had forgotten the storyline as it was all new to me. I enjoyed the storyline and it was very easy it to read. the only thing I find is that you tend to know. the outcome way be...
Really good book! Didn’t think I would be into this genre, but the book was surprisingly hard to put down. Made me super emotional, almost started crying in peet’s coffee when I finished it.
Multiple points of view all tied into one story. Nazi germany and everything happening around it. We read through the point of view of an entire family and it just blows my mind. Great writing.
This is the very first time i read a book from Danielle Steel and i absolutely loved “The Ring” !. I’ve always found history so interesting and captivating. We all have learn in school or read about world wars ,they were difficult,destructive,misarable,painful and scary,we all know that ,but with this book I can feel this,like if I lived in that cruel ,dark time of history. U can understand through the characters and the history of this book how much pain, damages and scars a war can bring ...Mo...
It is a very typical formula as her other books are. Germany, a family divided, and it has a somewhat happy ending. I always enjoy her books, her early ones or her later ones. Steel's a good author
I read this book probably 30 years ago. Almost as much time has passed since she wrote the book as she covered in the book. So 40 years covered in the book and it's been about 40 years since she wrote this book. I read it a second time in college, so this will be the third time that I've read it. My response to the book the third time through was much different than it was the first two times. The first time I thought it was a really good read. Between the first and third reads I've read more hi...
