Product Description
Product Description
In her 55th bestselling novel, Danielle Steel explores the seasons of an extraordinary friendship, weaving the story of three couples, lifelong friends, for whom a month’s holiday in St. Tropez becomes a summer of change, revelation, secrets, surprises, and new beginnings . . .
As Diana Morrison laid the table for six at her elegant Central Park apartment, there was no warning of what was to come. Spending New Year’s Eve together was a sacred tradition for Diana, her husband of thirty-two years, Eric, and their best friends, Pascale and John Donnally and Anne and Robert Smith. The future looked rosy as the long-time friends sipped champagne and talked of renting a villa together in the South of France the following summer. But life had other plans . . .
Just two weeks after New Year’s, tragedy strikes the heart of their close circle, as Robert Smith suffers a sudden, unexpected loss. Without hesitation, Diana and Eric, Pascale and John rally to his side, united in their support, love, and shared grief. Convinced that a change of scenery is just what Robert needs, they urge him to join them on the Riviera in August. But as they soon discover, the ramshackle old mansion they rented in St. Tropez--sight unseen--is far different from the exquisite villa and sun-drenched gardens touted in the brochure. Cobwebs hang from the ceiling. Beds collapse beneath them. All while a would-be housekeeper in a leopard-skin bikini and six-inch heels sashays through the house with a trio of yapping poodles at her heels. But the biggest surprise of all is the woman Robert invites to the villa as his guest--a lovely, much-younger film actress with mile-long legs and a million-dollar smile. Diana and Pascale hate her on sight. But the men are dazzled. And amid the crumbling furniture and the glorious sunsets, the strained relationships and the acts of forgiveness, more surprises are in store for the villa’s occupants. With the last days of summer fast approaching, each couple finds themselves changing in unexpected ways, as old wounds are healed, new love discovered, and miracles unfold...all beneath the dazzling sun of St. Tropez.
By turns wise and moving, heartbreaking and wickedly funny, Danielle Steel’s new novel is about forgiving without forgetting, about the sorrow that shadows our lives and the hope that saves us. And it is about once-in-a-lifetime friendships . . .the kind that heal, sustain, and change us forever.

SUNSET IN ST. TROPEZ
As Diana Morrison laid the table for six at her elegant Central Park apartment, there was no warning of what was to come. Spending New Year's Eve together was a sacred tradition for Diana, her husband of thirty-two years, Eric, and their best friends, Pascale and John Donnally and Anne and Robert Smith. The future looked rosy as the long-time friends sipped champagne and talked of renting a villa together in the South of France the following summer. But life had other plans...
Just two weeks after New Year's, tragedy strikes the heart of their close circle, as Robert Smith suffers a sudden, unexpected loss. Without hesitation, Diana and Eric, Pascale and John rally to his side, united in their support, love, and shared grief. Convinced that a change of scenery is just what Robert needs, they urge him to join them on the Riviera in August.

Save your money!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sunset In St Tropez (Paperback)
I decided to purchase this book using a free voucher as I'd read books by the same author a few years ago and generally found them well written and easy to read. I'm very glad that I didn't waste any money on this book - it was one of the worst books I've read in a long time. Yes, I did finish it, but only to see what happened in the end! Danielle Steele touches on a subject that either has been, or will become, an issue for many of us - that of the loss of one of a close-knit group of friends, their reaction to the death and, eventually, her "replacement". Unfortunately I found the grammar rather poor; indeed I found myself re-reading passages on a number of occasions as they failed to make sense the first time through. The author keeps repeating herself unnecessarily, too. From a publishing point of view, the book is printed over almost 300 pages. However, the font is so large that I'm sure production costs could have been minimised if, say, it had been kept to 200 pages. Not up to her usual standard.

5.0 out of 5 stars
great holiday reading,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sunset in St.Tropez (Hardcover)
this book has you hooked from the beginning with believable charactors. I loved the way it showed all sides of the situations that arose during the story with a pleasing ending for all. The friends charactors were great making them your friends as well. My favourite charactor was the female cleaner so vividly descripted and had me laughing as i visualised her outfits. Like her other books she has you reaching for the hankies at one point and laughing at another. A book with lots of twists and I can't wait for her next one.

light read,
By N C Challinor (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sunset in St. Tropez (Mass Market Paperback)
Sunset in St.Tropez is not too bad but not one of her best. When Robert looses his wife it was very sad, but halfway through the story when they go on holiday it starts to get predictable. It is a light read but not as exciting and grabbing as some of her novels.
