Search - The Ghost

I love this book. This is the only Danielle Steel book that I've read. It weaves in and out of the past and present. Easy to read.

I'm not a fan of Danielle Steel but I really enjoyed this book. Wonderful romance!

Architect Charles Waterston has a job he loves, a charming and beautiful wife, and an idyllic life in London. But when everything comes crashing down around him--his wife leaving him for another man and his sudden transfer back to the New York home office--Charles takes a well-deserved ski vacation in Vermont. When an unexpected snowstorm strands Charles in a small town, he takes refuge in a small bed-and-breakfast. The proprietor, an elderly widow, also owns a family home in the woods, which Charles decides to rent. Soon after moving in, Charles senses a ghostly presence. While investigating in the attic one day, Charles discovers the diary of Sarah Ferguson, who left her abusive husband in England for a better life in the New World. Charles soon finds himself drawn to Sarah, and he even visits the local historical society in an attempt to learn more about her. There he meets lovely, timid Francesca Vironnet, the historical society curator and librarian, who has fled France with her young daughter. Through Sarah's journals and Francesca's kindness, Charles is able to heal his heart and learn to love again. Complete with Steel's trademark poignancy but minus the glitz and glamour so evident in many of her novels, The Ghost is an outstanding and awesome read. One of her best!

With a wife he loves and an exciting London based career,architect Charles Waterston's life seems in perfect balance.Nothing in his comfortable existance prepares him for the sudden end to his ten year marriage or his unwanted transfer to his firm's New York office.With nothing left to lose,Charles takes a leave of absence from his job to drive through New England,hoping to make piece with himself.

A terrific book!!!!
