The happiness and love she found will it be for a lifetime or will she only be given moments to treasure in rememberance?? The book is in 3 parts. I loved the first part, and the build up of Serena's and Brad's relationship, Serena and Teddy's (younger brother of Brad) friendship. But during the second part the book lost all its interest to me.

Steel spends two to three years on each book, juggling multiple projects at once. According to Steel, once she has an idea for a story, her first step is to make notes, which are mostly about the characters. She told The New York Times in 2018: "I make notes for a while before I start work on the outline. The notes are usually more about the characters. I need to know the characters really well before I start — who they are, how they think, how they feel, what has happened to them, how they grew up."

For much of her career, Danielle Steel was best known as a couture-clad San Francisco writer and society gal with a handful of husbands and a soccer-team's worth of kids. But the author—who has sold nearly 600million books—now lives mostly in Paris, happily husband-less...'San Francisco is a great city to raise children, but I was very happy to leave it. There's no style, nobody dresses up—you can't be chic there. It's all shorts and hiking boots and Tevas—it's as if everyone is dressed to go on a camping trip. I don't think people really care how they look there; and I look like a mess when I'm there, too.'

In 2002, Steel was decorated by the French government as an Officier of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, for her contributions to world culture. And the characters? INFURIATING. Absolutely INFURIATING. The "heroines" of this novel are simpering, foolish, feelings-dominated women who are not smart, strong, or logical. Abuse is painted as a "tragedy that stemmed from what once was love," with the main character giving her junkie husband 50,000 chances before finally deciding to leave him (and chooses him ahead of her daughter's safety). Ho divorato questo libro in un giorno, ho amato ogni singolo avvenimento, sia bello che brutto, ho vissuto con loro gioia e dolore, e ho rivisto un Serena miliardi di donne che lottano con tutte se stesse per far vedere agli altri chi sei davvero, di resistere in situazioni assurde perché si sentono in colpa, sole ma di come alcune riescono poi a trovare il coraggio di salvarsi ma questa salvezza non sempre è eterna.

The book is divided into parts: early years and the survival years. After so much pain and sorrow she's had to get a job and watch her brother in law go to war. Serena witnessed the death of her parents at the hands of her uncle, brought away to Venice by her grandmother, she soon loses the only family she knows as she is shipped off to a New York convent for her safety during the war. But when Pattie makes a sudden visit to Brad, it only takes her one look at Brad to convince her of her suspicions. Akhirnya, pecah juga telor di th 2021 ini. Tp bukannya ngelarin buku yg belum dibaca, malah reread si Remembrance ini 🤭. Dulu, belasan thn yg lalu, kayaknya ni buku bagus banget. Tp dibaca ulang skrg, biasa aja. Jelek ngga, bagus banget juga ngga. Khas DS, agak2 soap opera yg dibalut sejarah. Serena, yg digambarkan sebagai keturunan bangsawan yg cantik jelita dan berpenampilan aristokrat, kadang suka cetek banget cara berfikirnya dan lemah. Paling kesel pas bagian dia ngga pergi2 juga dr si Vasili yg gila itu. Kasian dgn Vanessa yg menurutku justru lebih pinter dari emaknya. Untungnya DS memberi ending yg indah buat Teddy, kalo ngga kelewatan banget.
