Summary

In Danielle Steel's remarkable new novel, one of her most memorable characters comes to terms with unfinished business and long-buried truths as the mother of three very different daughters with three singular fathers.

As a young intern at an art gallery in Paris, Isabelle McAvoy meets Putnam Armstrong, wealthy, gentle, older, and secluded from the world. Isabelle's relationship with Putnam, and her time at his chateau on the Normandy coast, are the stuff of dreams. But it turns real when she becomes pregnant, for she knows that marriage is out of the question.

When Isabelle returns to New York, she enters a new relationship that she hopes will be more stable and traditional. But she soon realizes she has made a terrible mistake and again finds herself a single mother.

With two young daughters and no husband, Isabelle finally and unexpectedly finds happiness and a love that gives her a third child, a baby as happy as her beloved father. And yet, once again, life brings dramatic changes.

The three girls grow up to be very different women, and Isabelle's relationship with each of them is unique. While raising her girls alone, Isabelle also begins building a career as a successful art consultant. Then, one final turn of fate brings a past secret to light, bonds mother and daughters closer, and turns a challenge into a blessing.

An enjoyable easy to listen to audible book

Not her best but certainly not the worst. About average Danielle Steel. 35 years ago I read every book she brought out with anticipation until she was bringing out so many they became much of a sameness. Occasionally you would get an exceptional read. This book wasn't an exceptional read but enjoyable and easy flowing. She has such talent when given time. I wish she would write one book a year rather than three which would allow her to excel.

Satisfying listen

Like a comfortable comforting pair of old slippers this is Danielle Steel at her storytelling best.
No surprises here as old familiar themes of motherhood, loss, romance. Betrayal, secrets, realisations, family ties and friendship bring the strands of the story together. Beautifully narrated and perfect for a binge listen; you will feel bereft when it’s over.
Danielle Steel writes at least four books a year and some aren’t as good anymore but this one comes highly recommended and I’ve listened to all of her titles on Audible.
Thoroughly enjoyable and satisfying. Thanks Danielle.
