Rose McCarthy is the editor in chief of a fashion magazine. Her three daughters are as different as night and day. While two of her daughters live in the US, Nadia lives in France. She did a year abroad studying in Paris and stayed. She is married to a writer of novels and screenplays. Her husband is very French, including the French way of multiple affairs. But he’s really done it this time! Had an affair with a young starlit who is now pregnant. Worse yet, they are flaunting their affair in public! Yes, he loves Nadia and doesn’t want a divorce. Can she forgive him? Ever trust him again? Or does she go the way of many Americans and divorce him?
I have read almost every one of Danielle Steel’s novels and this one did not disappoint. The contrast of values between Nadia, her sisters, her mother and the 2 countries reinforces that one should live life based on their personal values, not the judgement of others.
*I received an advanced copy of the book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
