This could be my favorite Danielle Steele book ever written! I love the dicotemy of the hopeless romantic, Olivia, and the adventurous, Victoria. Their decisions are not always the most conventional and I had to get past some of them. But I found myself engrossed in their stories. I was rooting for them to get everything they wanted and I was devestated by their losses. Such passion and suspense! One of the best historical fictions I've found! ( )

Very good book although a bit unbelievable at times. Really enjoyed it. ( )

I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device). ( )

I really enjoyed this book. How twins will do anything for each other. I cried, and laughed, all in the same chapter. ( )

Danielle Steel is one of my mom's favorite authors, but I'd never given her a chance because I had better stuff to read than chick flicks. This was surprisingly easy to read and rather interesting. I'll check out more of her stuff. ( )
