Easy, quick read to escape to for a few hours. I liked the story and the transporting back to a time of revolution in Russia really added to the story. It will make you wonder for a bit about what stories there are about your grandparents that you never heard. Personally, the most interesting I can think of, I never heard, but seen pictures of my grandmother young and tipsy dancing on a table in Hawaii. So who knows what stories they hold that we never hear. The romance is interesting in thisOkay I finished this book last night and I really don't know if I'm just high on love right now to be touched by a bitter romance novel, or it's just well the way Danielle Steel makes you feel emotions. I guess both. But it doesn't matter BECAUSE I WAS CRYING FOR 15 MINUTES STRAIGHT! My God, I literally got goosebumps last night. The plot took it's time to develop and was great, but I never expected it to have such an impact on me!It's about the story of Granny Dan, aka Danina, who was a
I read this book when I was fourteen. It was the first Danielle Steel book I saw in my life and Degas painting I had a lot of attention. So after much insisting my mother finally bought it. I never thought at that time that I would meet a beautiful story about ballet, nostalgia and imperial Russia of the last tsars.Although it's in the first person by a witness narrator, it makes clear that the story is about her grandmother, or as she knew, Granny Dan an "eccentric" woman who cooked biscuits on
I have not read a Danielle Steel Book since college, so when my 86 year old mother in law shared thisbook with me saying that she couldnot put it down, I was reminded of how much I enjoyed Ms. Steels books 30 years ago.I loved a line from the book, Why do we think old people have always been old? Unfortunately, it is often at funerals when we discover who people were as they were becoming who we knew them to be. This is true of Granny Dan who lived an extraordinary life as a prima ballerina in
She was known as Granny Dan to her adored granddaughter, the one who loved to go skating with her and play, but when she passed away this granddaughter realized she knew nothing about her life. Then she received a call from the nursing home where she lived the last year of her life, telling her that a box remained in the back of Granny Dan's closet. Inside the box was a worn pair of toe shoes, a Russian program to a ballet, a gold locket, and many letters written in Russian. She decides to have
Entertaining and (very) easy enough to start and finish it on a three hour plane journey. Wouldn't necessarily recommend it to anybody as I found it quite repeating. I did fall in love with the main character though and her life story, which this book was all about.
How can a book with so little pages hide such a big story? The feeling this book gives you is one of life and joy - how wonderful it is to be a happy person with positive energy.. and (even better) have a granny so special that you really miss her own unique ways of just being herself.Danina was a unique character: hardworking, happy and honestly good to everyone. Her dilemmas were easy to connect to and I was so sad with the way the writer ended Danina and Nikolai's relationship.. it was like
