Product Description

Product Description
Nineteen-year-old Annabelle Worthington was born into a life of privilege, raised amid the glamour of New York society, with glorious homes on Fifth Avenue and in Newport, Rhode Island. But everything changed on a cold April day in 1912, when the sinking of the Titanic shattered her family and her privileged world forever. Finding strength within her grief, Annabelle pours herself into volunteer work, nursing the poor, igniting a passion for medicine that would shape the course of her life. But for Annabelle, first love, and a seemingly idyllic marriage, will soon bring grief - this time caused by the secrets of the human heart. Betrayed and pursued by a scandal she does not deserve, Annabelle flees New York for war-ravaged France, hoping to lose herself in a life of service. There, in the heart of the First World War, in a groundbreaking field hospital run by women, Annabelle finds her true calling, working as an ambulance medic on the front lines, studying medicine, saving lives.And when the war ends, Annabelle begins a new life in Paris - now a doctor, a mother, her past almost forgotten...Until a fateful meeting opens her heart to the world she had left behind. Finding strength in the most unlikely of friendships, pulling together the broken fragments of her life, Annabelle will return to New York one more time - this time as a changed woman, a woman of substance, infused with life's experience, building a future filled with hope ...out of the rich soil of the past. Filled with breathtaking images and historical detail, Danielle Steel's new novel introduces one of her most unique and fascinating characters: Annabelle Worthington, a remarkable woman, a good woman, a true survivor who triumphs against overwhelming odds. For Annabelle's story is more than compelling fiction, it is a powerful celebration of life, dignity and courage - and a testament to the human will to survive.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Danielle Steel's best books ever, 25 Nov 2008
By Sissel M. Østdahl "smaureen" (Norway) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: A Good Woman (Hardcover)
Once again Danielle Steel has shown why she is one of the most read authors in the world today.

"A Good Woman" is the story about 19 year old Annabelle Worthington, a young girl growing up among New York's upper classes, loved, protected and privileged. Until tragedy strikes and in the course of three years her life is shattered.

Annabelle, who has always been interested in medicine and has done volunteer work both in hospitals and among immigrants at Ellis Island, goes to France to volunteer in World War I. She works as a medic near the front, has a child out of wedlock in appalling circumstances and later becomes a physician and settles in Paris with her little daughter after the war.

Although Annabelle is a rich woman with a large inheritance in America, the fact is of no particular interest in the book. This is the story about a very special person. Pretty, yes, but also intelligent, strong and brave. In spite of the wealth and sheltered upbringing, she has more than her fair share of life's adversities and goes through it all with her head held high. Her life is forever changed and her secure world and naïve view of people never to be restored.

From the horrors of war to the glamour of post war Paris, the British aristocracy and dazzling New York - all in true Danielle Steel style - the main thing is Annabelle's story. What happens in her life and mind. What makes her the 32 year old doctor and mother who visits her home country for the first time ten years after she left in disgrace.

One of the best books Danielle Steel has ever written, filled with wisdom and funny bits of delicious humour.
