Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

The Wedding is Danielle Steel's 48th novel of the lives and loves of America's beautiful people, and fans of Steel's recipe for glamour won't be disappointed. The Wedding's heroine is the young, "long, lean and beautiful" Allegra Steinberg, Hollywood attorney to and confidante of the stars, whose books include Bram Morrison, "one of rock music's great heroes", and the dashingly handsome actor Alan Carr, whose number "half the women in America would have given their right arm for". All seems well in Allegra's Ferre wearing, Mercedes-driving world. Her charming father, Simon Steinberg, is apparently happily married to her beautiful mother Blaire Scott, and the nominee for a clutch of Golden Globe awards as one of Hollywood's most successful movie producers. Allegra's "clean-cut and preppy" boyfriend Brandon Edwards seems to be all that she could want.

However, in the space of several whirlwind days jetting from east to west coast, Allegra makes an unpleasant discovery about her father, and has a fateful encounter in New York with the "long and lean" writer Jeff Hamilton which will change her life forever. Steel sets in motion an emotional roller-coaster which engulfs a dazzling collection of glamorous friends, family and lovers, as the search is on for wedded bliss. --Lucy Snowe



Product Description

Simon and Blaire are a couple who have defied the Hollywood cliches, keeping their marriage together for decades. Their daughter, Allegra, an attorney for the stars - a career which consumes much of her energy - has little time for her own life, until she finds herself planning her own wedding.

5.0 out of 5 stars Her best book ever., 26 Jun 2004
This review is from: The Wedding (Paperback)
The book is set in Hollywood environment and follows the life of successful and attractive entertainment lawyer, Allegra Steinberg and the lives of her parents and siblings. Allegra seems to have everything she could desire including the handsome and successful Brandon Edwards on her arm. However, when Allegra flies to New York for business a chance encounter with a writer and a whirlwind week getting to know him better, causes her to re-evaluate her life and the people in it. As this happens the "long and lean" writer re-enters her life for the better, and as a result a long lasting and rewarding relationship begins. Soon Allegra finds herself planning a wedding and as all generations of the Steinberg family deal with problems in the past present and future the real reason of the wedding emerges- a fresh start.
This is easily the best Danielle steel book I have read to date, and one of the reasons it is so enjoyable is because aside from the fact the characters are millionaires ! Everything in the book can be easily related to. For anyone who is a typical romantic, this is the book for you too, it's enough to satisfy anyone !! A good investment in both time and money.

4.0 out of 5 stars So realistic it will scare you, 8 Sep 2000
By A Customer
I thought the book was wonderfully written and made Danielle Steel shine through once again as an author. It included romance, and tears all in the same story. It made me believe that there really is love out there for everyone and that it will find you and not you it. Loved the characters and found them all to be strong in character. The part of the story that i loved the best was when Sam had Matthew and found her motherly insticts to strong to hand him to another person, even if that person was to be her sister. I'm not a mother but i can only imagine the strong feelings and emotions that goes into making a decision like that. Wonderful and easy read. I found I couldn't put it down when i started reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Brilliant!!, 29 May 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Wedding (Paperback)
Are you in need in some time to chill out with a glass of wine and a good book? This is just the thing believe me!! From someone with a little more than a lot of experience in reading, Danielle Steel's latest is one you will really enjoy! I found this book so real and yet so dreamy! This book is about the struggles of a young women with a fulltime career, trying to deal with the stresses and the strains of planning a wedding-sounds familiar?? As little events build up in the weeks before their wedding Jeff and Allegera struggle to cope without killing each other. At times you don't know whether to laugh or cry!! A really good read and I suggest you have some tissues on hand!!
