I have been disappointed with so many of Steel's recent books, that I questioned whether to bother buying this one. For the first time in a long time, I was not disappointed. Although it was a quick read, Annabelle's character was well developed. I liked that, even though she was dealt many horrible blows, she was able to overcome them. I think Danielle Steel needs to stick with historical fiction for awhile. Like "Zoya," "A Good Woman" has a heroine that I quickly became attached to and wanted to see her life turn out good. One thing, though....she needs to get rid of the red hair!!Show Less

However, throughout the book I just couldn't feel the pain and anguish for Annabelle that I should have. Her struggles were easily overcome and things just always worked out. Plus, she is wealthy and could do whatever she wanted. I just wasn't that into her story.Show Less

    A Good Woman

    Danielle Steel writes another excellent book that you can't put down until you finish reading!

    I loved the book!

    I usually don't read non-fiction books and this may be the first Danielle Steel book I have ever read but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I actually picked it up because I saw the Eiffel Tower on the cover and since I have been to Paris it caught my attention. I found the book an easy read and it kept my attention. I didn't want to put it down and I looked forward to getting back to reading it whenever I could. I was emotionally involved with the character and felt her pain and unfair treatment. I enjoyed it so much I didn't want it to end and hope it will someday be a movie where the script will follow the book as close as possible.

    Terrific read

    I consider 'A Good Woman' one of the best that Danielle Steel has written. The heroine suffered through many obstacles during her lifetime. When a character jumps out of the pages and you feel her emotions and tribulations in life; you realize that the book gives you the enjoyment of closeness with the character. 'A Good Woman' gave me that type of closeness to Annabelle. It was difficult to put the book down. I plan to continue reading Danielle's books and hope to find a book that is well written in comparison to 'A Good Woman'

    FINALLY.....

    I stopped reading Danielle Steel because the story lines all seemed the same and the characters as well. This book, however, was a GREAT book. I strongly recommend it. I couldn't put it down and read it in only two days.

    Heart wrenching story!

    A novel rarely makes me cry but this one did! This book lingered with me for awhile even after i was done reading it.

    I liked the storyline

    I liked the story line and the heroine. I finished it quickly. Sometimes, Danielle would repeat herself too much. I almost felt as if she didn't put enough trust in her readers.

    I love Danielle Steel, I feel her earlier work was better.

    emotional

    i cried so much during this book it was embarrassing. at first it was kinda boring, ok really boring, but i stuck with it. mainly because i dont like to leave a book unread once i start it. however, im glad i did finish it because it was truly inspirational. the main character becomes a strong woman because of everything she goes through. it was honestly awful, everything that happened to her. its a good book for whoever likes sad stories with a hopeful ending.

    good book

    I just finished reading this book and was very satisfied. the story was very good, with many unexpected twists and turns. the ending also left you feeling good. If you want to read this book, my advice is not to read the rest of the reviews on here, as they give away the plot! its much better when you go into it clueless. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes novels. get this book, but dont read the rest of the reviews, inconsiderate people give away the plot!
