Description

In this riveting novel set in Paris, the world's favourite storyteller, Danielle Steel, explores a high-profile affair that reverberates throughout an entire family reminding us that mothers and sisters come together when things fall apart. A year they would never forget . . . Rose McCarthy is the legendary editor-in-chief at one of New York's top magazines. Following the death of her husband, she and her four daughters have become even closer. All have successful careers: Athena is a TV chef, Venetia a fashion designer and Olivia a court judge, while Nadia, the youngest, is a talented interior designer living in Paris. Nadia considers her life perfect - married to bestselling novelist Nicolas Bateau, who adores her and their two daughters - until the tabloids leak a story of Nicolas's affair with a dazzling young actress. Heartbroken and publicly humiliated, Nadia looks to her family for comfort and support as she attempts to put her life back on course. As mother and daughters spend more time together, they come to realize the things that matter most in life.
