Remembrance: An epic, unputdownable read from the worldwide bestseller

Product Information

And the characters? INFURIATING. Absolutely INFURIATING. The "heroines" of this novel are simpering, foolish, feelings-dominated women who are not smart, strong, or logical. Abuse is painted as a "tragedy that stemmed from what once was love," with the main character giving her junkie husband 50,000 chances before finally deciding to leave him (and chooses him ahead of her daughter's safety). Each of the parts have traumatic things occur and it makes the characters stronger as their lives go on.

At the age of 19 Serena had nowhere else to turn, so she makes the difficult journey to Rome, to her childhood home where she was once the Principessa di San Tibaldo. Now on her return she is just another maid in the household owned by the US Army. ~ Ho trovato in questo libro che non solo serena che è la protagonista sia un bel personaggio ma di come Teddy che dalla prima all'ultima parte sia perfetto, di come sia leale, sincero e un amico, fratello, zio e marito splendido. a b c d Chin, Paula (June 29, 1992). "Danielle Steel". People Magazine. Archived from the original on January 10, 2011 . Retrieved January 8, 2012.Throughout this entire novel, not ONE of the characters felt real. Do you know how much profanity I'm tempted to use here as I attempt to convey my frustration? OK, Steel, you've made it quite clear that a woman should always be perfect (flawless figure, long and lean, shining hair, amazing fashion sense -- piss off, why don't you), ready to have sex multiple times a day at the drop of a hat, and -- if at all possible -- a princess. They also receive diamonds, fur coats, and endless amounts of wealth at the drop of a hat. No biggie. Happens all the time. The book is divided into parts: early years and the survival years. After so much pain and sorrow she's had to get a job and watch her brother in law go to war. Akhirnya, pecah juga telor di th 2021 ini. Tp bukannya ngelarin buku yg belum dibaca, malah reread si Remembrance ini 🤭. Dulu, belasan thn yg lalu, kayaknya ni buku bagus banget. Tp dibaca ulang skrg, biasa aja. Jelek ngga, bagus banget juga ngga. Khas DS, agak2 soap opera yg dibalut sejarah. Serena, yg digambarkan sebagai keturunan bangsawan yg cantik jelita dan berpenampilan aristokrat, kadang suka cetek banget cara berfikirnya dan lemah. Paling kesel pas bagian dia ngga pergi2 juga dr si Vasili yg gila itu. Kasian dgn Vanessa yg menurutku justru lebih pinter dari emaknya. Untungnya DS memberi ending yg indah buat Teddy, kalo ngga kelewatan banget.

Her works consist of novels, non-fiction, picture books, and two series of children's books: the Max & Martha series and the Freddie series. In 2002, Steel was decorated by the French government as an Officier of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, for her contributions to world culture.Kort, C. (2007). A to Z of American Women Writers.
