Helpful Score: 1
Great book - this was a book about twin women set during WWI. I felt this was a better DS book since it had two main characters. It never slowed down like some of the DS books seem to...RECOMMENDED!
Yet another wonderful Danielle Steele story to add to anyone's collection!!!

Steel's 46th heartbreaker delves into the seemingly inexhaustible dramatic depths of Titanic lore, idyllic love, and delectable stars. Olivia and Victoria Henderson are beautiful, young, wealthy twins who live in upper-crust Croton-on-Hudson in upstate New York at the turn of the century. Despite their life of ease (playing tennis with the Astors, being courted by a Rockefeller), they do face the daily grind of caring for their beloved Pa, who has never recovered from Mrs. Henderson's death. Then along comes another forlorn widower, sexy Charles Dawson, whose wife perished at sea. "Damn shame she came back on the Titanic," says Mr. Henderson--who doesn't know what the Lusitania has in store for his family. As the plot thickens with the onset of World War I and the suffrage movement, Victoria--the demon seed of the dynamic duo--gets into a spot of trouble. Big enough that dutiful yet daring Olivia must bail her out in a way that it would spoil everything to reveal. If A Farewell to Arms was adapted to an ABC Monday night movie, it might bear a resemblance to Mirror Image. But in Hemingway, or on TV, there were never such devoted sisters. As the narrator puts it, reflecting on the feelings of one sister for the other, "She was her partner, her confidante, her friend, her cohort in all mischief ... the other side of her life, her heart ... the other side of the mirror
"Mirror Image" is one of those books that you just wanted to keep reading, no matter what else was going on around you. Steel did a fairly good job of keeping the reader guessing as to how and when certain characters would find out certain things. Remember, folks, that this story was not taking place in the 21st century. You have to put a character's actions and attitudes into perspective!
This was the first book I have read by Danielle Steel. I really enjoyed it. I didn't want to put it down and wanted to stay up all night to finish it. I can't wait to read more by this author!
A novel that explores one of life's most powerful and mysterious relationships-the bond between idenical twins mirror image,Danille Steel's forty -sixth best selling work tells the story of the lives of two sisters and takes you on an unforgettable journey.
Typical Danielle Steele, if you liked her other books, you will like this one too.
To look at one was to see the other. For family it was a constant guessing game. For strangers, the surprise was overwhelming. For the twins Oliva and Victoria Henderson, their bond was my stterious and marvelous-a secret realm only they inhabited. They were the beloved daughters of a man who never fully recovered from his wife's death bearing them in 1893. Shy, seroius Olivia had taken over the role of mother, managing not only theri plush estate, but her rebellious twin's flights of fancy. Free-spirited Victoria embraced the woman's suffrage movement and wanted to change the world. Then, in their 21st year Victoria's life was about to become a public scandla. Handpicked by the twin's father to save her reputation, Charles Dawson thought he could make an unwanted marraige work. But in an act of deception, the twins took an irrevocable step, sending one of them to the battlefields of France, the other into a marraige she longed for but could never have.

To look at one was to see the other. Fo r family, it was a constant guessing game. For strangers, the surprise was overwhelming. For the twins Olivia and Victoria Henderson, their bond was mysterious and marvelous-a secret realm only they inhabited. They were as different as could be, Olivia was shy and serious, while Victoria was a free-spirited suffragette.

From Manhattan society to war-ravaged France. 'Mirror Image' moves elegantly and dramatically through a rich and troubled era. With startling insight, Danielle Steel explores women's choices: between home and adventure, between love for family and passion for a cause, between sacrifice and desire, in a fascinating portrait of vastly different identical twins who follow their destinies against a vivid backdrop of a world at war.

An interesting, if not always believable, tale of mirror twins who swap lives. Set during World War I, with transcontinental action.
Great condition.
