BOOK SYNOPSIS:
In Danielle Steel’s epic new novel, the lives of four generations of women in one family span fortune and loss, motherhood, tragedy and victories.
From the glamorous San Francisco social scene of the 1920s, through war and the social changes of the ’60s, to the rise of Silicon Valley today, this extraordinary novel takes us on a family odyssey that is both heartbreaking and inspiring, as each generation faces the challenges of their day.
The Parisian design houses in 1928, the crash of 1929, the losses of war, the drug culture of the 1960s—history holds many surprises, and lives are changed forever. For richer or for poorer, in cramped apartments and grand mansions, the treasured wedding dress made in Paris in 1928 follows each generation into their new lives, and represents different hopes for each of them, as they marry very different men.
From inherited fortunes at the outset to self-made men and women, the wedding dress remains a cherished constant for the women who wear it in each generation and forge a destiny of their own. It is a symbol of their remaining traditions and the bond of family they share in an ever-changing world.
REVIEW:
This is a sweet story from one of the best in the world, Danielle Steel. In this wonderful read we meet the Deveraux/Allen family. As the family goes through generations of good and bad including war, births, money struggles and so much more the thing that thrives generation after generation is The Wedding Dress.
This book reminded me so much of Jewels, the book Steel wrote in 1992. A family heirloom that is handed down through the generations and if only the heirloom could tell the stories it has seen.
Again, Danielle Steel has written a book that will stand the test of time and like her heirlooms will be passed along the generations of readers.
