Blessing in Disguise: A Novel | Danielle Steel
4 posts | 6 read | 1 reading | 3 to read
In Danielle Steels remarkable new novel, one of her most memorable characters comes to terms with unfinished business and long-buried truths as the mother of three very different daughters with three singular fathers. As a young intern at an art gallery in Paris, Isabelle McAvoy meets Putnam Armstrong, wealthy, gentle, older, and secluded from the world. Isabelles relationship with Putnam, and her time at his chteau on the Normandy coast, are the stuff of dreams. But it turns real when she becomes pregnant, for she knows that marriage is out of the question. When Isabelle returns to New York, she enters a new relationship that she hopes will be more stable and traditional. But she soon realizes she has made a terrible mistake and again finds herself a single mother. With two young daughters and no husband, Isabelle finally and unexpectedly finds happiness and a love that gives her a third child, a baby as happy as her beloved father. And yet, once again, life brings dramatic changes. The three girls grow up to be very different women, and Isabelles relationship with each of them is unique. While raising her girls alone, Isabelle also begins building a career as a successful art consultant. Then one final turn of fate brings a past secret to light, bonds mother and daughters closer, and turns a challenge into a blessing.

Isabelle McAvoy had a colorful life as an art buyer, a mother of 3 daughters, and a mostly-single parent. It‘s a great story of courage, dedication, and fortitude in times of tragedy. There are always blessings, even if one has to look harder to find them.

If this book had been written by any other author, it probably would have been a 4 star book for me. I've come to expect so much from DS that this one didn't quite make it as a four-star level book for me. I did enjoy it, it was a good "story" but lacked any real depth for me. It read a bit like a fairytale with extreme tragedies along the way to ending with everyone happy & the main character "gets a man". Good but, not my favorite DS.

This is the story of Isabelle, an art consultant, in New York City. She has three relationships and three daughters from those relationships. Her life has always been surrounded with art which she loves We get to see each relationship and how she comes about to have a child in her world of art.
This book is by Danielle Steel so of course it is interesting. It has shows how women have strength and don't need a man in their world.
