Product Description

From the Back Cover

A journey through five eventful decades, Jewels, Danielle Steele's twenty-ninth work of fiction, is the story of a family whose lives are woven into the fabric of history.

On the eve of Sarah Whitfield's 75th birthday, she stands at the window of her chateau in France, waiting for her family to join her. Her memories take her back to the 1930s in New York, to her early marriage and subsequent shameful divorce. She is persuaded by her parents to join them on a trip abroad in the growing turmoil of pre-war Europe.

There she meets William, Duke of Whitfield. Older than Sarah, and fourteenth in line to the British throne, he sparks her intellectual curiosity and makes her laugh. They make their home in a beautiful crumbling French chateau until they are parted by the war. Afterwards they are able to return to the chateau and establish the jewel collection which leads to the House of Whitfield, jewellers to the crowned heads of all Europe. Together they produce a family of four, each of whom is drawn into the family business.

Jewels is the story of a great house of gems, a rare family, and an extraordinary marriage. Once again, Danielle Steel explores the lives of people facing challenges we recognise as our own, against the backdrop of war, passion and international intrigue. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book that I have ever read, 28 July 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Jewels (Paperback)
From the moment I picked up this book I was completly engrosed in the lives of the characters, so much that I actually yearned to be a part of it myself. It will take you through a roller coaster of emotions and is truly the best she has ever written.

4.0 out of 5 stars Charming, 27 July 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Jewels (Paperback)
One of Danielle's best books. I found it stimulating and worth reading again and again. I enjoyed the way Sarah's life is followed from a young girl to when she is an old woman. The problems she experiences with her children will probably be understood by any parent.
