It kept me thinking how everything will happen, but it was great. I really liked it. :D

A Daniele Steel é uma das escritoras sobre quem tenho muita curiosidade em conhecer mas dada a sua extensa publicação tem sido dificil conhecer e acompanhar, contudo nos poucos livros dela que já consegui ler há um fio condutor de emoções que ela mantém inalterável e que me faz gostar dos seus livros. Neste caso vemos uma mulher que viveu uma grande paixão e sofreu por coisas que não pode controlar e que passa muito tempo fechada em si até se permitir acordar e viver e amar novamente. Adorei as personagens e foi uma excelente leitura para férias. ----Danile Steel is one of these writers that I want to know but because of her extense publications is dificult to follow, still in the few I've read there's a thred of emotions that bind them all and that makes me love her books and it's people. In this case we have a woman that as soufered by a big passion and has shout herself out of the world until she discovers that there is life and love when you least count with it. Love everyon in it and was a wonderfull vacations read.
