Very romantic story. I first read it at age 15 and really loved it, read it again as an adult and thought it was silly. Why wouldn't he want to look for her grave? But okay, allowing for that, and how easily the main characters get everything they want or think they want, this is a fun little romance. Danielle Steel is a dreadful writer but this book is OK, if you have to read one by her this is the least nauseating. I think she had help with this one, at least I read that that was the case.
The Promise, Danielle SteelYoung architect Micheal Hillyard and artist Nancy McAllister are determined to get married despite his wealthy mother's disapproval. Then minutes before their wedding, a terrifying accident and a cruel deception separate Micheal and Nancy--perhaps forever. Each pursues a new life--Nancy in California, Micheal in New York. But eventually nothing--and no one--can keep them apart as they keep their vow never to say good-bye.عنوانها: «پیمان»، «آخرین عشق»، «بر بالهای عشق»،
Awesome read! nice love story about forgiveness and overcoming many things..well written (paperback!)
I found this very readable and gripping yet ultimately unromantic because: 1. Nancy and Michael spent the majority of the book apart and only interacted for about seven out of 32 chapters. They're separated by Michael's snobbish mother, Marion, who received her own HEA and absolutely zero punishment for her interference*. WTH?! Marion didn't think Nancy would be an appropriate wife for Michael. So after the two were injured in a car crash (they'd been on their way to get married), Marion offered...
My favorite love story from my teen years. Long, long, long ago!
Re-readYep, still in love with this. I wish there was an epilogue, though. :/-----January 28, 2014The last time I read this was a decade ago and that was before my paperback copy was never returned to me. Luckily, I found an e-book. Thank you techy gods! I think I decided to re-read this because I was curious to know whether or not the twentysomething me would still love it. I was only a high school sophomore then so what the heck did I know about "good" books anyway. At first, I thought it woul...
Gotta admit that at the beginning I did not like this novel much ,but as I kept on reading it just caught me with the specific details and the dramatic changes that happens to almost every character in this novel .Danielle Steel sure is a great and talented writer to write such a fascinating novel ,this was my first book to read by Danielle Steel but it sure is not going to be the last.
Ahhhh. Nostalgia. This was my very first ever book by Danielle Steel and my teenage self thought it to be absolutely swoon-worthy. I decided to revisit it forty years later. How did it hold up, you ask? Well, teenage me would have given it 10 out of 5 stars. It was that memorable to me at the time. My current self recognizes it to be a bit dated, so 4 out of 5 stars. Overall, the story arc is still so appealing to me. I have read several of Danielle Steel's books since that time--always hoping t...

In the book the Promise by Danielle Steel we are taught many life lessons, we learn that no mater what incidents happen in life it goes on and eventually you'll get through it, your taught that if you care about something or someone enough the love will never fade away. The main characters in the book Nancy and Michael are young and madly in love with each other, Michael's mother though is not a fan of Nancy and doesn't approve of her as Michael's girlfriend or wife. Late one night they decide t...
The PromiseAuthor: Danielle SteelMichael Hillyard and Nancy McAllister are madly in love. Michael met Nancy at a Boston Gallery where her work was being shown. She is an artist and he is a famous architect. He asked her out and fell madly in love with her. Nancy wasn't too quick to jump into a serious relationship. Her mother had left her as a young child in an orphanage. She just abandoned her. Nancy had not really healed from it. She doesn't want to trust or love anyone. Michael kept asking he...
tw: rape remark, car accidentPersonally I prefer the older Danielle Steel. This one was published in 1999, hence why I consider it her older work. Her older work has more of a story. Less tell and more show. The conversations amongst the characters are better. Everything about her older work is just better. But sadly, this one wasn't the best I've read.(view spoiler)[ I think my problem with the book and why I didn't love it was because of how forgiving Michael was to his mother. This woman cost...
