Summary: Architect Charles Waterston has a job he loves, a charming and beautiful wife, and an idyllic life in London. But when everything comes crashing down around him--his wife leaving him for another man and his sudden transfer back to the New York home office--Charles takes a well-deserved ski vacation in Vermont. When an unexpected snowstorm strands Charles in a small town, he takes refuge in a small bed-and-breakfast. The proprietor, an elderly widow, also owns a family home in the woods, which Charles decides to rent. Soon after moving in, Charles senses a ghostly presence. While investigating in the attic one day, Charles discovers the diary of Sarah Ferguson, who left her abusive husband in England for a better life in the New World. Charles soon finds himself drawn to Sarah, and he even visits the local historical society in an attempt to learn more about her. There he meets lovely, timid Francesca Vironnet, the historical society curator and librarian, who has fled France with her young daughter. Through Sarah's journals and Francesca's kindness, Charles is able to heal his heart and learn to love again. (From Amazon.com)
Review:
jennet gave me a personal recommendation of this book, and since I actually own it, I naturally had to read it. It seems that Danielle Steele's books fall into one of two categories: those that are too trashy for their own good, and those that are actually well written! This one was fortunately one of the latter and I really enjoyed it. It combines a past and present love-story very nicely and the characters are well rounded. Thanks for the recommendation sweetie!
