Destiny
I worked for a bookstore in Aloha and saw this book. I have very ecletic tastes in books and have read a lot of historical fiction and Danielle Steele but wanted to try my hand at something different.
At first I was outraged by what was happening to the main character, Helene, to the point I almost quit reading as she gets molested.... later on the scenery and times change. From rural Alabama to glittering Paris Helene becomes a remarkable woman and meets a remarkable man, Edouard. When they see each other they experience "love at first site".
this story is not a romance - it is a true love story, filled with the life of the jet set and the love that knows no bounds... this story is haunting.
This review is for a different book than one pictured here!This review is for Destiny by DON BROWNA fantastic Book! One of the best stories I've read in a long time! I enjoy historical fiction, especially stories about past wars, so this was "right up my alley"! This author was unknown to me, but, after this book, I want to read everything he has ever written! That is how much I enjoyed this book. The story was set during World War II and followed 3 main characters and their families, in both
Loved it!
Read it a long time ago. Couldn't put it down and still remember it.
I read this about 25 years ago and have never forgotten it. The characters and their lives captivated me, and inspired me to want to travel and have more experiences in life. I love it when books do that :)
Really loved this. So not what I usually read but it sucked me in

Written in 1987 and I still can't forget this book. I haven't read it since the 80's so my taste may have changed... I will have to re-read this to see if I still feel the same.I worked for a bookstore in Aloha and saw this book.

I began reading this book thinking it would be the typical romance book I like to pick up in between reading series. I was very wrong. I finished this book in two days. Work and sleep got in the way of devouring it all in 24hrs. I got swept up in the characters and wanted them all to get the happy ending I thought they deserved. I realized early on that something would become a problem. (Helen is his niece) I also totally thought I knew how it would be resolved and everything end well.
