BOOK SYNOPSIS:
In this spellbinding tale from Danielle Steel, a princess is sent away to safety during World War II, where she falls in love, and is lost forever.
As the war rages on in the summer of 1943, causing massive destruction and widespread fear, the King and Queen choose to quietly send their youngest daughter, Princess Charlotte, to live with a trusted noble family in the country. Despite her fiery, headstrong nature, the princess’s fragile health poses far too great a risk for her to remain in war-torn London.
Third in line for the throne, seventeen year-old Charlotte reluctantly uses an alias upon her arrival in Yorkshire, her two guardians the only keepers of her true identity. In time, she settles comfortably into a life out of the spotlight, befriending a young evacuee and training with her cherished horse. But no one predicts that in the coming months she will fall deeply in love with her protectors’ son.
She longs for a normal life. Far from her parents, a tragic turn of events leaves an infant orphaned. Alone in the world, that child will be raised in the most humble circumstances by a modest stable manager and his wife. No one, not even she, knows of her lineage. But when a stack of hidden letters comes to light, a secret kept for nearly two decades finally surfaces, and a long lost princess emerges.
REVIEW:
4.25 Hearts Who has read a book by Danielle Steel and been disappointed? If you have then you need help! Danielle Steel is THE author of our lifetime for women’s lit. She has written so many books and none of them disappoint her fan base and the children (maybe grandchildren) of her original fan base.
In this story we travel back to WWII and meet Princess Charlotte of England who is sent away for her safety during the war. Yes there is romance and adventure but this is more about the telling of a woman’s story and about romance.
Another wonderful story from Steel. Worth every moment of sitting on the couch, cuddled in a cozy blanket with a glass of wine.
