I have been reading Danielle Steele for years.. I stopped after awhile, because sometimes they stories seem to be cut from the same cloth. So it was with great reserve that I bought this. I really am glad this is out of her comfort zone a little. Historical settings, great story line I really did enjoy it. So if you, like me grew up on Danielle Steel, and needed a "break" this is a great book to come back to.

I have always been a big Danielle Steele fan and this was another great story. Like all of her books there is love, tradgedy, healing, and happiness. Her characters are all very real and likeable that is why I keep reading her books.

I absolutely love this book. I have re-read it about five times, because it plays over and over in my mind as a movie. Although it is fiction, it reads as a memoir.

If you love books about WWII, this is a wonderful read.

I loved this book because of it's connection with WWII. I love Danielle Steel books and I also am very interested in the Holocaust so this book was one of my favorites from Danielle Steel. The book shows a lot of emotion and details of the historic event and will definitely make you feel the sadness of the events that happen. This is a book anyone that loves Danielle Steel should read. It has her same style of writing but something that sets it apart from her other books.

This is a love story like no other. A beautiful Jewish woman and a French officer find love and are rejected by family. Full of suspense, love, romance and the results of war and German death camps. The struggle of a family and their encounter with fate.

Set in the summer of 1915, a time of both prosperity and unease. For Beata it was also a summer of awakening. Danielle Steel writes another wondeful book. This is a large print book.
