But when Pattie makes a sudden visit to Brad, it only takes her one look at Brad to convince her of her suspicions.

The book is in 3 parts. I loved the first part, and the build up of Serena's and Brad's relationship, Serena and Teddy's (younger brother of Brad) friendship. But during the second part the book lost all its interest to me. Serena's entire character development was destroyed for me. Principessa Serena Di San Tibaldo kehilangan segalanya pada usia 14 thn. Kedua orang tuanya dibunuh oleh Mussolini karena pengkhianatan sang Paman. Nenek Serena terpaksa mengirim Serena ke sebuah biara di Amerika. Ketika perang berakhir, Serena kembali ke Italia hanya utk mendapati rumah neneknya dan rumah orang tuanya sudah berpindah tangan.

Life moves on, and as teenage years turn into adulthood, lo and behold, what do i accidentally come across on TV during the Easter holidays, but Danielle Steel's "The Ring"! WOW!! What I had been waiting for, all those years ago! This TV movie didn't quite meet up to my expectations of how the story would look on screen, but its an excellent effort. The cast is pretty good - (Manfred is lovely!!) and lets just say, at the beginning, during and after I often found tears running down my cheeks.

Steel married for a fifth time, to Silicon Valley financier Thomas James Perkins, but the marriage ended after four years in 2002. [28] Steel has said that her novel The Klone and I was inspired by a private joke between herself and Perkins. [29] In 2006, Perkins dedicated his novel Sex and the Single Zillionaire to Steel. Steel's novels, often described as "formulaic," [37] tend to involve the characters in a crisis that threatens their relationship. The novels sometimes explore the world of the rich and famous [37] and frequently deal with serious life issues like illness, death, loss, family crises, and relationships. Also, there are claims that her popular story lines are based on the events of her life. [5] Despite a reputation among critics for writing "fluff", Steel often delves into the less savory aspects of human nature, including incest, suicide, divorce, war, and even the Holocaust. [17] As time has progressed, Steel's writing has evolved. Her later heroines tend to be stronger and more authoritative, who, if they do not receive the level of respect and attention they desire from a man, move on to a new life. [22] In recent years Steel has also been willing to take more risks with her plots. Ransom focuses more on suspense than romance, and follows three sets of seemingly unconnected characters as their lives begin to intersect. [38] Toxic Bachelors departs from her usual style by telling the story through the eyes of the three title characters, men who are relationship phobic and ultimately discover their true loves. [37] Her first novel, Going Home, was published in 1973. The novel contained many of the themes that her writing would become well known for, including a focus on family issues and human relationships. Her relationship with her second husband influenced Passion's Promise and Now and Forever, the two novels that launched her career. [11] With the success of her fourth book, The Promise, she became a participant in San Francisco high society. [11] 1981–1996: Fame and expansion to new genres [ edit ]Steger, Pat (August 11, 1999).
