Sinossi
A diciotto anni, Annabelle Worthington ha tutto quello che si potrebbe desiderare. Giovane ereditiera dell'alta società newyorkese, è cresciuta in un ambiente dorato, circondata dall'affetto di una famiglia unita. Ma, nell'aprile del 1912, un drammatico incidente distrugge per sempre il mondo che ama: suo padre e suo fratello muoiono nel naufragio del Titanic. Disperata, la ragazza trova la forza di reagire, dedicandosi al volontariato e scoprendo una passione per la medicina che la accompagnerà per tutta la vita. Quando poi sposa il suo migliore amico, Annabelle spera che il destino le stia offrendo una seconda occasione per essere felice. Ma anche questo matrimonio in apparenza idilliaco le porta solo dolore, a causa dei terribili segreti che l'uomo nasconde. Travolta senza colpa da uno scandalo più grande di lei, Annabelle fugge verso il Sud della Francia dove, tra le macerie della Prima Guerra Mondiale, riesce finalmente a realizzare il suo sogno di diventare medico. Al termine del conflitto, decide di ricominciare da capo, a Parigi. Ma, all'improvviso, l'incontro con una persona speciale la induce a riaprire il cuore a tutto ciò che ha così faticosamente tentato di lasciarsi alle spalle...

I can always depend on Danielle Steel to tell a good believable story. While reading A Good Woman I had to always remind myself of the period that the story took place to keep from condemning the characters of their antiquated opinions. Annabelle was a good child and an even better woman overcoming
Well Written “A Good Woman” was a very well written book. It took the bad luck of a woman who was constantly having unfortunate life turns and weaves a story of achievement. The characters were sharp and very relatable. A one day read that I loved !! My highest recommendation.
A Good Woman by Danielle Steel was is a pretty good book but very slow and tragic. I usually read most her books in a day but this one just did not keep my interest as much as many of her other books. It was not a bad story at all but the poor main character (Annabelle) had a really tragic and harsh Leggi tutto
To follow. Good ol’ DS
Let me first start off by saying that this is the first Danielle Steel book I have ever read and I absolutely hated so much about the book! Not sure if I'll give her a chance again! Some books I can say are just boring and impossible to get through, this was not like that. It was just so bad for so
una lectura ligera, la historia algo predecible, pero se disfruta.
I stopped reading every single Danielle Steel novel about a decade ago, save for a couple in recent years. I just got tired of the same old formulaic writing that enables her to crank out multiple novels every single year. For the most part, a reader can guess before even cracking open the binding f Leggi tutto
