Sisters (Random House Large Print (Paper))

Book Description

Four sisters, a Manhattan brownstone, and a tumultuous year of loss and courage are at the heart of Danielle Steel’s new novel about a remarkable family, a stunning tragedy—and what happens when four very different young women come together under one very lively roof.

Candy–it’s the only name she needs—is blazing her way through Paris, New York, and Tokyo as fashion’s latest international supermodel. . . .

Her sister Tammy has a job producing the most successful hit show on TV, and a home she loves in L.A.’s Hollywood Hills. . . . In New York, oldest sister Sabrina is an ambitious young lawyer, while Annie is an American artist in Florence, living for her art. . . . On one Fourth of July weekend, as they do every year, the four sisters come home to Connecticut for their family’s annual gathering. But before the holiday is over, tragedy strikes and their world is utterly changed.

Suddenly, four sisters who have been fervently pursuing success and their own lives—on opposite sides of the world—reunite to share one New York brownstone, to support each other and their father, and to pick up the pieces while one sister struggles to heal her shattered body and soul. Thus begins an unscripted chapter of their lives, as a bustling house is soon filled with eccentric dogs, laughter, tears, friends, men . . . and the kind of honesty and unconditional love only sisters can provide. But as the four women settle in, they are forced to confront the direction of their respective lives. As the year passes and another July Fourth approaches, a season of grief and change gives way to new beginnings—as a family comes together to share its blessings and a future filled with surprises and, ultimately, hope.

With unerring insight and compassion, Danielle Steel tells a compelling story of four sisters who love and laugh, struggle and triumph . . . and are irrevocably woven into the fabric of each other’s lives. Brilliantly blending humor and heartbreak, she delivers a powerful message about the fragility–and the wonder—of life.

Book Description

In eighteen years of marriage, Liz and Jack Sutherland had built a family, a successful law practice, and a happy home near San Francisco, on Hope Street. Then, in an instant, it all fell apart.

It began like any other Christmas morning. But for Jack Sutherland, a five-minute errand ends in tragedy. And suddenly, Liz is alone, in the wake of an unbearable loss.

How can she go on without her husband, her partner, her best friend? How can she grieve when she must console five devastated children, including one with special needs?

Powered by her children's love, Liz finds the strength to return to work, to become both mother and "daddy." One by one the holidays come and go, until a devastating accident sends her oldest son to the hospital—and brings Dr. Bill Webster into her life. Bill becomes a friend to Liz as he slowly heals her shattered son.

With the first anniversary of Jack's death approaching, and with it another Christmas in the house on Hope Street, a new relationship offers new hope, and Liz reflects on the little blessings that give strength when nothing else is left. But she will face one more crisis before she can look ahead to the beginning of a new life.

The House on Hope Street is about learning to live again after you think life is over. It is about cherishing small miracles, and believing in big ones. It is above all about hope.

Adam 12 - DVD.......2006-03-09

Very enjoyable to watch TV from that era - no cell phones, vintage cars. The DVD is very good in terms of color, quality of sound, etc. However, I did encounter freezing at the beginning of an episode. Otherwise, I recommend this product.

SAD BUT VERY GOOD!.......2006-02-13

I found this story sad but very good with nice ending. She suffers alot but I really enjoyed the ending.

Fast paced, touching..........2005-11-23

Danielle Steele is a writer who wields the written word like an artist... using story lines that attract you by their sheer difference from what people experience in their own "tame" lives. Widowhood, single parenting, trauma, and grudging admiration make this story compelling...a tear jerker.... I would recommend it to anyone who appreciates the talent of a successful story teller.

This being the first book I read by Danielle Steel I expected more than what I got since I love the moive verisons of her book. The start gives it hope but near the end you can sense the direction that the book is taking and I like alittle unpredicatable stuff.

Book Description

In her 53rd bestselling novel, Danielle Steel explores how a single shattering moment can change lives forever. The Kiss is at once a moving testament to the fragility of life and a breathtaking story about the power of love to heal, to free, to transform, and to make broken spirits whole.

On a warm June evening, a red double-decker bus, full of pasengers, speeds down a London street. A few blocks away, a man and a woman climb into a limousine, reveling in a magical evening of dancing and champagne. As their driver pulls into an intersection, the couple shares their first, searching kiss. For a moment, etched in time, all stands still—until, in a flash of metal and glass, their limousine is struck at full speed, crushed under the bus's tremendous weight. And a long journey begins—toward healing, toward hope, toward dreams of an infinite future...

Isabelle Forrester is the exquisite wife of a prominent Parisian banker who has long since shut her out of his heart. For lonely years, Isabelle has lived a life of isolation, pouring her passions into caring for her desperately ill son, Teddy, and into making their Paris home as happy as possible for her teenage daughter, Sophie. Isabelle allows herself one secret pleasure: a long-distance friendship by telephone with an American man, a Washington power broker who travels in the highest circles of politics and who, like Isabelle, is trapped in an empty marriage. To Bill Robinson, Isabelle is a godsend, a woman of extraordinary beauty and intellectual curiosity—a kindred spirit who touches him across the miles with her warmth and gentle empathy. Their relationship is a gift, a lifeline that sustains them both through the heartache of marriages they cannot leave and will not betray. Agreeing to meet for a few precious, innocent days in London, Isabelle and Bill find their friendship changing. Then, amidst the sudden crash of steel against steel, they are thrust onto a new path, a path fraught with pain but also with possibility.

Now, inside the cool, sterile wards of a London hospital, Isabelle and Bill cling to life, their bodies shattered almost beyond repair. In the days and weeks that follow, they slowly, painfully traverse a road to recovery littered with challenges of the body, spirit, and heart. Together, they must find the strength not only to embrace life again but to face what they have left behind. For Isabell, a loveless marriage turns into a brutal power struggle. For Bill, a time of healing exposes wounds that cut deeper than steel and realities that will test him to his core. For both, a tangle of changing relationships and the tragedy of another loss conspire to separate them once again. And this time they could lose each other forever.

In a novel that is as compelling as it is compassionate, Danielle Steel weaves a story of courage in the face of unimaginable loss. With the grace of a master storyteller, she explores the strength it takes to conquer our greatest fears, showing us how the toughest choices can yield the most unexpected rewards...and how the longest, most winding journeys can begin with a single kiss.

From the Hardcover edition.

A memory for the rest of my life.......2006-12-21

This was the first book I've read by Danielle Steel, and I must say I'm glad I did. It was a little bit too repeating sometimes, Danielle tells us the same things over and over again, but it's definitely worth reading it anyway. Once I'd got started, it was hard to stop reading it, and I'm a 100 per cent sure that I will remember this story for the rest of my life.

The book is about Isabelle, a warm-hearted and lovely woman who lives an unhappy life in Paris. Her husband seems to hate her, her youngest child, Teddy, is deadly sick and needs her to take care of him and her daughter Sophie is busy living her own life. Isabelle lives for her sick child and has no other choice then to let Gordon, her husband, treat her however he wants to, because she needs him to pay for Teddy's treatment which he'll refuse to do if she'll cause him any trouble. But Isabelle has got one thing she appreciates more then anything else - she has her daily phone calls with Bill.
Bill is also stuck in a loveless marriage and he's afraid to get a divorce, because he thinks that it might hurt his career. He lives in the US, has two daughters and a wife which is constantly unfaithful to him.

Anyhow, Teddy is getting better so Isabelle decides to do something she's never done before - she's going to make a short trip to London to meet Bill there and leave Teddy with his nurses. Everything turns out just fine and they're having a great time, until Bill's limousine gets hit by a bus. Within a few seconds both of them are put in between life and death and now they have to start their long journey back to their old lives. But is it even possible after the things they've experienced together..?

okay.......2006-06-22

yes, the writer seems to repeat herself a lot in the story. i almost thought there were only two characters after reading the first 100 pages. but then it grew better, and even more appealing towards the last 100 pages. it is a decent novel, and i'm glad i read it. it is not as thought-provoking as the two novels of anita shreve i read, but i certainly enjoyed the reading.

Disappointing.......2005-09-20

I had never read a Danielle Steel book before, and decided to give her a try, given that she is so popular and has so many books published. I was pretty disappointed. I agree with the other reviewers that the plot is unrealistic; however, if a book is unrealistic but well-written and engaging, I would still like it. I think the biggest problem with this book is the author's excessive repetitiveness. Yes, I get that this character is really cold and unloving---that was already covered 50 pages ago! In addition, character traits could have been better conveyed through situations, rather than simply stating, "so and so was a devoted mother" and repeating this fact again and again and again. These flaws in the author's writing kept me skipping through whole sections of the book. This book did not leave me wanting to read more of Ms. Steel's books. It is an ok book if you like romance and very easy, repetitive reading.

Danielle's Version of Princess Diana's Fatal Accident.......2005-06-10

This the first of Daninell's books I read. I learnt that she was the Queen of romance novel since I was a teen. I'm a little disappointed by the book because it's really boring for most of the part. It's like reading an alternative version of Princess Diana's traffic accident. I realize that Daniell likes to repeat herself a lot. There are too many reptitions of descriptions of all kinds. It's also too predictable. To me, everything that Bill did is really cheesy and unreal and his stubborness of rejecting and denying Anabelle after he became paralysed makes me wonder what a tyranny psycho he is that he just wants to inflict pain on the woman who loves him and who has nobody there for her at all. It's really hard to believe any man who acts so unreasonably stubborn on his own version of love and happiness that he can actually be an ideal partner for any woman. Men like that are normally pretty controlling and emotionally abusive. This is the major element in the book that really turns me off. I have to admit that the last part where Anabelle finally convinced Bill to be with her is quite touching. I think Ms. Steel does have her crowds of fans. My boyfriend's mother had been crying all the way thru the book.

The Kiss.......2005-05-27

The Kiss is the second book I have read by Danielle Steel so far. It was great. My first book of hers I read was The Wedding. I highly recommend that one. Both are excellent books. I love romantic books. They suit my personality beautifully. I even have considered trying to write a love story, with my own experiences. Real life is a lot better and more complex then fiction ever could be. But I do like fiction as much as I love biography or autobiography. Any genre is fine by me.

This is an inspirational book. It deals with disability and how people overcome hurdles in their path. It has some touching moments. Some moments I adore. In the hospital. And one person's strength to bring someone between life and death back to life. No matter what the resulting burdens may be, after a horrific car accident with a bus during one long and only everlasting kiss.

Two people in strained marriages. One with an invalid boy and daughter. The other in another loveless marriage and affairs. The only contact they share is moments from time to time during the year, and phone calls. That keep their lives fullfilled. Two people who love each other but cannot take the next step to make their lives better and be together. Mainly due to commitment to husbands and wives. No matter how hopeless or worthless an existence it may be with their partners. Yet slowly things are unravelled and secrets that have lay hidden for years are exposed.

I think I have made a pretty good summary of the book for people who don't know the book I read. I think it is worth reading. The story seems quite simple and it is. But like always, I am surprised how things turned out and the marvellous twists and turns the story takes. To secure Danielle's place in romantic fiction for sometime to come. I would read more of her books. They are lovely.

I wanted to read 'The Kiss' because I felt it was so perfect for me. I love kissing girls. Friendly kisses more then boyfriend/girlfriend type kisses. I know it may sound strange but I think to fully understand it, and my e mails sometimes you may have to meet me. Or a least listen to my voice on tape one day. To pick up on some of the humour I like to inject into my e mails most of the time. And sometimes how I see the world and live my life. As movie-orientated as it is.

Danielle Steel is pretty light reading usually. She's the best! I don't really want to read Barbra Taylor Bradford. Although I do wish they would make a movie of 'The Wedding'. It would be so good. It would be harder to make a movie that affects people with 'The Kiss'. But since I read the book, I'd be happy to watch any resulting movies they might make. I haven't seen any Danielle Steel books adapted to movies. I'm sure they are extreamly sappy. But I can handle it I think.

I don't think I will read all of her books, just the ones that look most interesting to me. 'The Wedding' was special because I have never been to a wedding before. 'The Kiss' was good because I love to kiss girls. Plus I am a pretty affectionate person. I also think quite tactile too. I'd take any opportunity to give someone a hug or show affection. I am full of compliments usually.

Book Description

In her 55th bestselling novel, Danielle Steel explores the seasons of an extraordinary friendship, weaving the story of three couples, lifelong friends, for whom a month’s holiday in St. Tropez becomes a summer of change, revelation, secrets, surprises, and new beginnings . . .

As Diana Morrison laid the table for six at her elegant Central Park apartment, there was no warning of what was to come. Spending New Year’s Eve together was a sacred tradition for Diana, her husband of thirty-two years, Eric, and their best friends, Pascale and John Donnally and Anne and Robert Smith. The future looked rosy as the long-time friends sipped champagne and talked of renting a villa together in the South of France the following summer. But life had other plans . . .

Just two weeks after New Year’s, tragedy strikes the heart of their close circle, as Robert Smith suffers a sudden, unexpected loss. Without hesitation, Diana and Eric, Pascale and John rally to his side, united in their support, love, and shared grief. Convinced that a change of scenery is just what Robert needs, they urge him to join them on the Riviera in August. But as they soon discover, the ramshackle old mansion they rented in St. Tropez--sight unseen--is far different from the exquisite villa and sun-drenched gardens touted in the brochure. Cobwebs hang from the ceiling. Beds collapse beneath them. All while a would-be housekeeper in a leopard-skin bikini and six-inch heels sashays through the house with a trio of yapping poodles at her heels. But the biggest surprise of all is the woman Robert invites to the villa as his guest--a lovely, much-younger film actress with mile-long legs and a million-dollar smile. Diana and Pascale hate her on sight. But the men are dazzled. And amid the crumbling furniture and the glorious sunsets, the strained relationships and the acts of forgiveness, more surprises are in store for the villa’s occupants. With the last days of summer fast approaching, each couple finds themselves changing in unexpected ways, as old wounds are healed, new love discovered, and miracles unfold...all beneath the dazzling sun of St. Tropez.

By turns wise and moving, heartbreaking and wickedly funny, Danielle Steel’s new novel is about forgiving without forgetting, about the sorrow that shadows our lives and the hope that saves us. And it is about once-in-a-lifetime friendships . . .the kind that heal, sustain, and change us forever.

Solid Story - Good Entertainment.......2007-07-25

I don't know what some of the people reviewing this book are hoping for here - Chaucer? Danielle Steel provides in this book a good storyline and some believable and very entertaining characters. I listened to the audiobook version (unabridged) and loved it. It is good entertainment while driving, and it's one I own and listen to over and over again. As far as light literature goes, Ms. Steel delivers.

AWESOME BOOK, SAD AND ENTERTAINING AT THE SAMETIME.......2007-02-02

This book is so amazing. It's funny and sad all at the sametime. Danielle Steel worte another amazing book. 3 couples(all best friends in their 60's) plan a great vacation on New Year's Eve in St. Tropez. The sadest part after all that planning the next day a great friend had died of a heartattack and died. So, after a year of her death the 5 friends set out to what they thought was a dream house which turned out to be an old brochure of what the house used to look like. HAHA.BAD. The house they thought was so perfect was a run-down house that hadn't been cleaned or lived in for a very long time!haha. But the funniest pasrt was the house "MAID" she dressed like she was still living in the 80's. After a month of staying in St. Tropez, Robert(the guy who's wife died) found out one of his friends was friends with famous actors and actresses. He then found his next fling. A stunning actress.

This book is heartbreaking and fascinating through the whole book. You will cry but its all worth it in

Book Description

With a wife he loves and an exciting London-based career, architect Charles Waterston's life seems in perfect balance. Nothing in his comfortable existence prepares him for the sudden end to his ten-year marriage—or his unwanted transfer to his firm's New York office. With nothing left to lose, Charlie takes a leave of absence from his job to drive through New England, hoping to make peace with himself.

Christmas is approaching when Charlie leaves New York, heading to Vermont to ski. But a sudden, blinding snowstorm strands him in a small Massachusetts town. There, as if by chance, Charlie meets an elderly widow who offers to rent him her most precious possession: a remote, exquisite lakeside chateau. Hidden deep in the woods, it once belonged to a woman who lived and died there two centuries before. Her name was Sarah Ferguson. And from the moment Charlie sets foot inside the chateau's graceful depths, he feels her presence, and longs to know more about the life she led.

It is Christmas Eve when Charlie first glimpses her, a beautiful young woman with jet black hair. He thinks it is a neighbor playing a joke on him, until he finds her diaries hidden away in an old trunk. As he begins to turn the brittle, dusty pages, Sarah Ferguson comes alive. Intrigued and unafraid, Charlie immerses himself in the diaries, eager to learn more about the woman for whom the house was built. Sarah's first entry is dated 1789, the year she arrived in America. Without self-pity or sentiment, she writes of her harrowing journey from her native England, having fled the brutality of her aristocratic husband. Settling in Massachusetts, Sarah finds an unfamiliar land seething with the turbulence of the Indian wars. Determined to start a new life in the vast new world, Sarah finds freedom—and danger—as she builds her home in the wilderness and meets a man who will transform her life. His name is François de Pellerin, a French nobleman adopted by Indians and drawn into the battle for the growing nation. Their fateful union is a testament to a love so powerful it reaches across the centuries. And for Charlie Waterston, caught between Sarah's world and his own, their story is a gift—one that gives him the courage to let go of his past, and the freedom to grasp a future that is right before his eyes.

The GHOST, not a poetry book.......2007-10-08

I'm not sure why all the other reviews are for a poetry book..this book is not a poetry book at all. I think there's a computer error here and another books reviews are showing up on here.
Anyway, for a REAL review on The Ghost. I just finished this book last night. It was a very very good book. There is a few parts that are a slight bit boring, but they don't last long at all. I also like how it's telling two stories, one about Charlie and his troubles with life (work, his wife etc) and then midway through he finds Sarahs (a girl from the 1780's) journals and he reads them and it tells us all about her as well. Both of their stories are very moving and interesting. The only thing I didn't like was how it went from Charlie to Sarah, I mean it was fitting with the story cause Charlie couldn't read ALL of the journals at once without stopping but it made it difficult to remember where the other left off. But it kept your suspense going if he stopped reading the journals for a while, you wanna keep reading to see what else happens with Sarah. Not quite a tear jerker, but it can be very touching and sad at times. This is only the second book from Danielle Steel that I have read and I'm hooked. The first one I read was "Accident" which was also great. I'm now starting my 3rd book of hers and it's only been 3 weeks since i started with the first. If you're only going to read a few of her books, there might be better ones (i'll find out evenutally) but I would recommend this one to anyone looking for a romance/drama/suspense type of book. There's a reason why Danielle Steel has sold over 360 million copies in her career!!

Excellent.......2005-04-17

This anthology presents an excellent cross section of poems, from classical cultures to the twentieth century. There can never be a completely comprehensive collection of erotic poems to satisfy all tastes, since poetry is also subjective. It's an excellent reader for anyone to use as a starting point and further explore those poets and poems that they appreciate the most. I really enjoy the Everyman's Library editions, and this volume is well worth adding to your collection.

A Study of Erotic Poetry.......2005-02-23

I find myself perplexed. What is desire?
The impulse to make someone else complete?

When I purchased the Everyman Love Poems book I was excited about purchasing additional selections. I must say this book was not exactly what I expected and even the author makes a note about these poems being sensuous and passionate but not erotic as we would imagine erotic to be today. This could make you happy or cause you disappointment. I found many of the poems to be more exotic than erotic. While many are striking and interesting, there are not many that inspire immediate desire. The poems seem to be more of a study of poetry than a presentation for pleasure. The poems are more romantic and interesting with short moments of sensuality.

Many of the poems seem to focus more on environments than erotic experience, although there are many references to the body and emotions. They seem to be more of an afterthought than the main theme in many of the poems. Poems like The Imperfect Enjoyment by Lord Rochester and Twin Hills by Vidyapati are the exception.

In my body you search the mountain
for the sun buried in its forest.
In your body I search for the boat
adrift in the middle of the night.
~Octavio Paz

Erotic Poems is also a collection of poems written mostly by men (and many are translated by men) and therefore seems to lack the diversity I was seeking in an erotic poem collection. While I love reading poems by men, I missed the female perspective. I could also not understand why they included Aurelius by Catullus or Hello There by Philodemus.

While Peter Washington organized the poems in a chain of thematic association, it would seem better to have poems with more variety and to include more poems by female poets. Sylvia Plath (1932-1963) makes her appearance with Zoo Keeper's Wife and I rather liked the lines about how she pretended to be the Tree of Knowledge. Himalayan Balsam is also a beautiful poem by Anne Stevenson.

You will find numerous poems by Robert Graves and Charles Baudelaire. You will also find poems by D.H. Lawrence, Walt Whitman, Thom Gunn, Li Ch'ung, Anon, Pablo Neruda and William Blake.

There are poems for a variety of tastes, however most of the poems seem to be classic selections that focus on descriptions of nature or emotions instead of erotic encounters. While there are quite a few moments of sexual beauty, I seem to prefer the poems in Passionate Hearts by Wendy Maltz. It seems this collection of Erotic Poems is a classic representation of what Erotic Poems used to be. If you are looking for modern erotic poems, you may be disappointed. What is interesting is that with some patience, this book reveals a commonality of desire. It is more a study of longing and desire veiled in metaphors with an occasional "enters warm yes" moment. This book seems to inspire a lust for language and a need to locate your dictionary.

I think if you read this book, you will definitely want to look for The Erotic Spirit edited by Sam Hamill and A Book of Love Poetry edited by Jon Stallworthy. You may also enjoy Perfectly Said by Brian Douthit or A Night Without Armor by Jewel.

~The Rebecca Review

Passionate collection of sensuality.......2002-08-06

I bought this book 2 years ago now. The poems are sensual every every particular way.
At the beginning of the book it states that if you're looking for "erotic" as in sexual then this wouldn't be for you, such as if you're expecting pornographic poems, then this wouldn't be the book you're after.

However if you're into more sensual reading and enjoy poetry in general, then this little book is one you'd want to add to your collection. It has passion, desire, and sensuality all rolled into one little book. Beautifully written and very well composed.

A little gem of a book........2000-08-04

There are poems from ancient tradition and from modern, short brash work, intense emotive pieces and snappy and witty tongue in cheek pieces. The book is a beatiful publication with a great introduction to a wide selection of poets. It explores the full gamut of what is eroticism from shy romantic fantasy all the way through to full frontal in your face sexuality. Great to read in bed with your partner, even better on your own on the bus on the way home from work.
