Wellread111's reviews

Good observations by the Author-and the dad of 4 (Four). Clever advice on many fronts especially- buying tips for Twins. And how to be home-prepared for the new arrival. And to Prepare your other children, as well. Some info re: C-Cesarean section births here in book referred to here is Only needed if babies (baby) in Breech position. That's Not Correct: also when mom has a narrow hips or other organs standing on the way of vaginal birth. Negative is that there are so many grammatical errors, that it disgusted me (I am picky in that regard). But the Guide is well-worth reading it and have at home.

The story is just that, precisely. One cannot be in two places at the same time. And author (Danielle Steel) here loses one main character- Hattie in lieu of the other- Melissa. She should've dedicated separate story for each of them.

Excellent novel and historically correct. If a bit over-dramatized thoughts and acts by heroine- Meredith. Written truly well and very engaging: I read it in three days...i recommend it to all thinkers out there. I liked this book by Danielle Steel.

As previous reviewer described, a true English Princess by name of Charlotte is sent away from heavily bombarded and polluted air of London to a rural place where Nazi's presence is not as murderous and the environment is green and enjoyable. She is to be cared for by entrusted elderly noble couple- Lord and his wife. The secret of Charlotte identity is only known to Royals in London and to Lords where she stays until after the war... I loved the first part of the novel, where Charlotte grows to become a young woman, marries the son of Lords - Henry and has his child. Then all the precious good ends in her new family: Henry dies in war, following his father...and Princess herself perishes as she gives birth to her baby. And a girl-housekeeper raises that child as her own, with deep love and care. The second part when Anne, Charlotte's daughter, marries son of the Lord at the Court of the Queen I truly despise: the son of the Lord's character is empty, he doesn't work in any meaningful way to keep his independence, has no goals in life and cares about nobody, Just enjoys the happy times with various women...And Annie marries him, anyway. I recommend this book, but half-heartedly.

The story has some new informative material and photos, but is difficult to read. It goes way too deep into the roots of each family's tree. Where, if you're not Anglican, it nearly impossible to remember all the inner connections and names of those related to Prince Philip and to Princes Elizabeth. Making the book slightly boring, at least at the beginning. I do not recommend it.
