I read this book quite some time ago but remember it to have some very sad parts. The inside cover says this 'Fine Things is a tale of survival, drama, and powerful caring... It is a tale of loss, survival, adn the price we sometimes pay for loving.'
I sniffled through this book. =0) Worth the read.
Internationally renowned novelist Danielle Steel, continues to surpass her previous triumphs with Fine Things, her 17th consecutive best seller. Fine Things is a very different book for Danielle Steel; it's setting is contemporary, its central character a man we come to know and love as she tells his story. (as per inside of book) I loved this book. It was a book that I couldn't put down. Very very touching story.
Story of how a man's life is turned topsy turvey by fate, and how he deals with facing life without the woman he loves, while remaining strong for his children
A book of men and women swept up in bewidering changes and seeking solutions to problems never faced before.
the story of a man whose life is turned topsy-turvy by one of fate\'s sharp turns,and he must suddenly face life without the woman he loves, while remaining strong for his children.
I have read this book twice and both times it had me in tears. I think that it is a very good book and Danielle Steel is a very talented writer.
Seemed slow at first but wait it out...I'm glad I did - tear jerker.

As usual Danielle Steel has a great story.
This is different for Danielle Steele. A man is the main character who overcomes all the tragedy. Made it interesting. A character I'd really like to know. A good guy.
I love a good Danielle Steel.
