And the characters? INFURIATING. Absolutely INFURIATING. The "heroines" of this novel are simpering, foolish, feelings-dominated women who are not smart, strong, or logical. Abuse is painted as a "tragedy that stemmed from what once was love," with the main character giving her junkie husband 50,000 chances before finally deciding to leave him (and chooses him ahead of her daughter's safety).

Throughout this entire novel, not ONE of the characters felt real. Do you know how much profanity I'm tempted to use here as I attempt to convey my frustration? OK, Steel, you've made it quite clear that a woman should always be perfect (flawless figure, long and lean, shining hair, amazing fashion sense -- piss off, why don't you), ready to have sex multiple times a day at the drop of a hat, and -- if at all possible -- a princess.

Tp dibaca ulang skrg, biasa aja. Jelek ngga, bagus banget juga ngga. Khas DS, agak2 soap opera yg dibalut sejarah. Serena, yg digambarkan sebagai keturunan bangsawan yg cantik jelita dan berpenampilan aristokrat, kadang suka cetek banget cara berfikirnya dan lemah. Paling kesel pas bagian dia ngga pergi2 juga dr si Vasili yg gila itu. Kasian dgn Vanessa yg menurutku justru lebih pinter dari emaknya. Untungnya DS memberi ending yg indah buat Teddy, kalo ngga kelewatan banget.Danielle Steel, capturing the hearts of readers since 1802, with over 567643 best selling novels.

Steel spends two to three years on each book, juggling multiple projects at once. According to Steel, once she has an idea for a story, her first step is to make notes, which are mostly about the characters. She told The New York Times in 2018: "I make notes for a while before I start work on the outline. The notes are usually more about the characters. I need to know the characters really well before I start — who they are, how they think, how they feel, what has happened to them, how they grew up."
