A moving story!
I always look forward to reading Danielle Steel�s latest book. I have been reading them since I was twelve and they provide a nice break from reality. Palazzo by Danielle Steel sweeps readers to Italy where Cosima Saverio at the age of twenty-three takes over the family business as well managing her two younger siblings. I enjoyed the European setting. The descriptions of Rome and Venice were beautiful including the family palazzo. I could understand Cosima�s desire to keep it in the family. The vivid pictorials of France were equally compelling. I liked Cosima, Allegra (Cosima�s younger sister), and Olivier (Cosima�s love interest). They were friendly, likeable characters. Of course, there are two bad guys that cause all sorts of trouble for their relatives. Palazzo is an easy story to read. I quickly finished it in a couple of hours. It had a satisfying ending (which is expected from a Danielle Steel novel). I would have loved some of the handbags described in the book. I could understand why Saverio bags were so coveted (the workmanship sounded exquisite). Palazzo is a moving story with family drama, second chances, romance, and new beginnings.
