Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In Danielle Steel’s epic 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.

    Such a lovely story, I love how it expanded for generations and generations to come. So beautiful. I read it in one day. Keep writing and sharing beautiful stories that make me smile, cry and cheer.

    Her writing has deteriorated over the last several years. Her books are fluff, you can read every 10th page and know you aren’t missing anything important. Everyone is beautiful, wealthy, happy....until they are not, but no worries, they will be again.

    This is the first time I experienced a book that had so very many “print” problems. There were many incomplete or missing sentences, making it distracting AND annoying. How can people possibly be charged ANY price much less full price for this product.....I need and deserve a refund. DS would NOT want her “product” projected so shabbily. Snoflakes

    Her writing has deteriorated, it’s written by an eighth grader, never develops the characters or the various historical events the characters go through. Just a really really awful book.
