Search - The House

First off, try this book just to admire the beautiful period portrait of Danielle Steel on the back cover! A bit reminiscent of Barbara Cartland! And I promise you will like the story too. The book is about a house, a small castle actually, a gift of love built in 1923. Now, in the present, an elderly client leaves a generous sum of money to his workaholic lawyer and tells her to use the money for something wonderful, so she buys the old mansion. Sounds corny, but the author makes it work. Add a handsome architect who arrives on the scene to assist with the remodeling and you have the beginning of a romance. But it is the house that will steal your heart!

As usual predictable read; however read it in one day. Kept me interested; good story.

This an easy read about and independent woman who realizes that she doesn't have to loose who she is to get married and have children. I thought it was a good book.

Enjoyed this book quite a bit.

Great reading

I liked the general story of this book, but I did not like the fact that the author repeats herself constantly. This was the first Danielle Steele book I've read, and I was not impressed. The first half of the book could have been reduced to 40 pages if she didn't keep reiterating herself over and over... it made me feel like either she thinks her readers are stupid and have to be reminded of things, or she just needs to remind herself as she wrote. As I said, I was not impressed.
