Search - The Ghost

Danielle Steel writes an interesting novel that so fluently moves between the past and present. She did an incredible job of weaving the two stories together, making Charlie and Francesca learn to love through the story of Sarah and Francois. Both of the stories were fairly simple. The characters of Sarah and Francois were much more exciting and likable, but Charlie and Francesca grew as the story continued. However, She could have shortened the beginning of the book. It was evident that Charlie was miserable on the first page, but for some reason, Ms. Steel thought it was necessary to drag this point out. Definitely worth the time! The one really surprised me!

I really liked this one very much! I love a great ghost story and this one is a very good read. The setting is beautiful - in the woods in New England in the winter!!! A very cozy read.

Danielle Steel creates a little different story in THE GHOST. The setting is New England at Christmas. A sudden snowstorm strands an architect in a small town bed and breakfast. The elderly owner is a colorful character who just happens to own a haunted lakeside chateau in the deep woods. There is a real ghost in this tale and I enjoyed the parallel stories that the author weaves. Past and present is brilliantly joined in a fascinating tale of healing and courage. Not the usual stuff here. I fell in love with the ghost and the chateau. Of course, there is a romance. While the architect is doing a little research on the resident ghost he enlists the assistance of the local librarian who, unfortunately has her own baggage to discard before any sparks can fly. Great story. You will enjoy this one.

I'm a fan of Danielle Steel and did thoroughly enjoy this book.

"The Ghost" is a wonderful book. The writing was fluid and separate stories were bound seamlessly by love and emotional healing. I enjoyed Sarah Ferguson's story the most and was looking forward to excerpts about her life.

On the down side, I thought that the first section about Charlie's divorce was a little too long. I couldn't bear hearing more about Charlie's pitty party in the wake of the divorce. I was also hoping for a little more romance in the book.

All in all though, the book was a great, light read. It is a good book to snuggle with on a cold winter night.

i started reading this book and realized i had read it a long time ago. it is a good book.
