Summary
Four cassettes， 6 hours
Life was good for Liz and Jack Sutherland。 In 18 years of marriage， they had built a family， a successful law practice， and a warm， happy home near San Francisco， in a house on Hope Street。 Then， in an instant， it all fell apart。 It began like any other Christmas morning， with joy and children's laughter。 But for Jack Sutherland， a five-minute errand ends in tragedy。 And suddenly， Liz is alone， facing painful questions in the wake of an unbearable loss。
How can she go on without her husband， her partner， her best friend？ How can she grieve when she must console five devastated children， including one with special needs of his own？ Powered by her children's love， Liz finds the strength to return to work， to become both mother and 'daddy'， coaching her youngest son for the Special Olympics。 And one by one the holidays come and go before her eyes: Valentine's Day without flowers and without Jack。。。Easter。。。July 4th。。。Then， just weeks before Labor Day， a devastating accident sends her oldest son to the hospital-and brings a doctor named Bill Webster into her life。 Bill becomes a friend to Liz as he slowly heals her shattered son。
And as long as the days of summer blend into fall， a new relationship offers new hope， and Liz reflects on what she has， on what she's lost， on the little blessings that give strength when nothing else is left。 Then， with the first anniversary of her husband's death approaching， and with it another Christmas in the house on Hope Street， Liz will face one more crisis before she can look back at a year of mourning and change-and ahead to the beginning of a new life。

Es una novela magnífica y llena de sentimiento。 Trata sobre aprender a vivir de nuevo cuando pensaste que tu vida no podía ir a peor， de tener la voluntad de levantarte cuando habías caído， de valorar los pequeños milagros que se hacen realidad y en confiar en que los grandes también lo harán。 Lo recomendaria？ Por supuesto。

Some parts were boring and illogical to me， but overall it was a great story。 Definitely a good read for these days！ In my opinion， stories like these can make you feel better and give you hope， especially now that we are living in a really hard time。（view spoiler）[ I just don't understand Liz and Bill's relationship。 In my opinion everything was happening so fast with them， e。g when she agreed to marry him or at the end when they got back together。 （hide spoiler）] However， I read it in spring Some parts were boring and illogical to me， but overall it was a great story。 Definitely a good read for these days！ In my opinion， stories like these can make you feel better and give you hope， especially now that we are living in a really hard time。（view spoiler）[ I just don't understand Liz and Bill's relationship。 In my opinion everything was happening so fast with them， e。g when she agreed to marry him or at the end when they got back together。 （hide spoiler）] However， I read it in spring 2020 so I don't remember much， haha！ 。。。more

It was a warm fuzzy journey and a great insight in what elders feel like after losing a lot in their life。 It's a novel full of loss and hope and a good take on how life goes on even after too many tragedies。 It was a warm fuzzy journey and a great insight in what elders feel like after losing a lot in their life。 It's a novel full of loss and hope and a good take on how life goes on even after too many tragedies。 。。。more

This is the first of her books that I’ve actually somewhat liked recently。 As I work my way through the stack I stupidly purchased years ago， I’m happy to be almost to the end of it。 Her writing is horrible and her story telling is kind of flat。 I think what I liked about this particular book is that， unlike most of her stories， it wasn’t about a weak woman who was being controlled and manipulated by a man。 This was actually a decent story idea， and the lead character （Liz） is actually strong， i This is the first of her books that I’ve actually somewhat liked recently。 As I work my way through the stack I stupidly purchased years ago， I’m happy to be almost to the end of it。 Her writing is horrible and her story telling is kind of flat。 I think what I liked about this particular book is that， unlike most of her stories， it wasn’t about a weak woman who was being controlled and manipulated by a man。 This was actually a decent story idea， and the lead character （Liz） is actually strong， intelligent， capable， and successful。 It was a little hard to get to the enjoyment part with so much sadness and depression at the beginning though。 I read for enjoyment， not to be saddened。 Thankfully， the story turned around and ended on a happy note， which is what I expected。 My favorite characters were Jamie and Peter， a little boy who was premature and had a slight disability and his older brother， who helped anchor the family。 Jamie’s honesty created some light-hearted humor and was a welcome presence throughout the story， and Peter’s support of both Jamie and his Mom was heartwarming。 Those two characters helped normalize the story and drew the other characters together。 The tension between Liz’s daughter， Megan， and Bill is expected in this situation， but how it was presented was just a little over the top。 I was surprised that it went unspoken between Megan and her mother。 For such an event， there should have been some discussion， even if it was just between Peter and Megan。 Simply put， Megan was rude and is a brat， despite her feelings and what she had been through， and she should have been called on it。 There’s one scene that I’m still trying to figure out。 Liz is a successful attorney。 Why the author wrote in that one of the characters borrowed a black coat for her to wear with her black dress to the funeral was just weird。 For one thing， she lives in a city that gets cold and it was December。 She would have owned a nice coat to wear to work and other places。 It was a weird addition that added nothing to the story and made zero sense。 These are the kinds of things that annoy me about Danielle Steel’s books。Oh， I almost forgot。。。 this book has nothing to do with a house on Hope Street， other than the fact that these characters lived in a house on Hope Street。 WTH？ 🙄All in all， it was an interesting story， but the bad writing and extreme sadness at the beginning make it no more than a three for me。 On a humorous note， a little over 30 pages were missing from my copy， so I had to go to the library and check out another copy。 。。。more

Disappointing。 Starts out with uncharacteristic （and unromantic） violence， not really needed to set up the remaining plot。 And trying hard not to reveal plot， the romance falls apart， stays apart and then everything is made right in the last page。 We don't get a glimmer of the change a protagonist goes through。 I got the strong feeling that there was a publication deadline approaching and Steel had run out of time。 Disappointing。 Starts out with uncharacteristic （and unromantic） violence， not really needed to set up the remaining plot。 And trying hard not to reveal plot， the romance falls apart， stays apart and then everything is made right in the last page。 We don't get a glimmer of the change a protagonist goes through。 I got the strong feeling that there was a publication deadline approaching and Steel had run out of time。 。。。more

This was a decent book。 Actually it was pretty good for the first 3/4 or so。 It had me crying within the first hour， was difficult to put down， and was an emotional story。 The least quarter or so of the book though was not very good。 I really disliked the ending。 As soon as the thanksgiving holiday happened， the rest became predictable， annoying， and just not what it could have been。 The last portion ruined the book for me， unfortunately。

رواية 。。 فقط هذا ما هي عليه لا حبكة تشدك ولا قلم يأسرك فقط قصة مستهلكة محورها علاقة رجل بامرأة و ادارتها لامور حياتها ومنزلها برفقة اربعه ابناء ومدبرة المنزل، أين الابداع في هذا ؟ واين الخيال من ذلك ؟ لم تتعد كونها قصة خفيفة بالنسبة لي ، لم انهل منها فائدة ولم تثر فيني فضولا ولم تداعب عقلي بأي شكل كان و روايات من هذا النوع لا تروق لي البته。

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 O título do livro não tem nada a ver com a história。 Não acontece nada com a casa。 Nesse aspecto foi uma desilusão。 Também não gostei do facto de ela ter ficado com o Bill。 Ela aceitava sempre tudo o que ele dizia。 Ela merecia melhor。 Não bastava ela já ter sofrido o suficiente， ainda ficou a sofrer por causa dele。 Tive pena de ela não ter encontrado alguém melhor durante o tempo que ele deu。

Deși am citit această carte în engleză ， am fost curioasă să aflu dacă a fost editată o versiune în limba română， pentru că titlul original nu mi se pare că reflectă în totalitate acțiunea petrecută în roman。 Așadar， "𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙃𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙤𝙣 𝙃𝙤𝙥𝙚 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙩" a apărut în anul 2000， la Editura Lider， sub denumirea de "𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗿𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗹"， titlu care nu mă face decât să felicit echipa de traducători ai acestei edituri。 Jack și Liz sunt căsătoriți de 18 ani， au propria lor afacere- un cabinet de avocatură， 5 copi Deși am citit această carte în engleză ， am fost curioasă să aflu dacă a fost editată o versiune în limba română， pentru că titlul original nu mi se pare că reflectă în totalitate acțiunea petrecută în roman。 Așadar， "𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙃𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙤𝙣 𝙃𝙤𝙥𝙚 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙩" a apărut în anul 2000， la Editura Lider， sub denumirea de "𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗿𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗹"， titlu care nu mă face decât să felicit echipa de traducători ai acestei edituri。 Jack și Liz sunt căsătoriți de 18 ani， au propria lor afacere- un cabinet de avocatură， 5 copii care le împlinesc existența și， aparent， o viață lipsită de griji și probleme， din care dragostea pe care și-o poartă unul altuia nu lipseste。Peisajul acesta feeric este distrus de nebunia unui client malefic， care ii ia viața lui Jack， chiar în dimineața zilei de Crăciun。 Absolut 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 modul în care autoarea reușește să transmită emoțiile și trăirile personajelor， prin intermediul cuvintelor așternute pe hârtie ！ Cu multă dificultate， Liz reușește să păstreze aparențele unei vieți normale， deși zilnic este pusă în fața provocărilor acesteia， ajungând să lucreze până la epuizare， dar fără a uita să își consoleze cei 5 copii， mezinul având un ușor retard mintal。 Viața este hotărâtă să o mai supună pe Liz unei încercări， făcând-o să își petreacă 2 luni ingenuncheată lângă un pat de spital， alături de fiul cel mare， care a suferit un accident。Cu această ocazie nefericită， apare în viața ei doctorul Bill Webster， medicul curant al fiului， care， așa cum veți afla dacă veți citi cartea， joacă un rol important în viața tuturor。 Ca și 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙘𝙡𝙪𝙯𝙞𝙚， mi-a plăcut modul în care autoarea reușește， ca de obicei， să facă cititorul parte integrantă a acțiunii。 Deși am avut proasta inspirație să citesc sinopsis-ul plin de spoilere， stilul autoarei m-a facut să îmi doresc să continui lecturarea cărții。 Nu mi-a plăcut modul fugitiv în care a fost descris personajul doctorului Bill， parcă aveam nevoie de puțin mai multă caracterizare， pentru a îi intelege anumite acțiuni。。。 Nu mi-a plăcut sinopsis-ul plin de spoilere și faptul ca titlul ales nu are legătură cu acțiunea propriu-zisă。 Deși Danielle Steel face parte dintre autorii mei preferați， cu părere de rău， acord acestui roman 3/5⭐ 。。。more

Bellissimo il modo di scrivere dell'autrice， super scorrevole e di impatto。 Molto triste la storia。。。 mette a nudo i sentimenti della famiglia。 Adoro il fatto che l'autrice ha mostrato il modo di reagire di tutti i fratelli e le sorelle， i loro punti di vista e i loro modi di capire la madre。 Quella che affronta la madre （e anche i figli ovviamente ）è una situazione davvero brutta， fatta di scelte e di sensi di colpa， ma l'amore per i propri figli si vedeva palesemente。 Si è messa in secondo pia Bellissimo il modo di scrivere dell'autrice， super scorrevole e di impatto。 Molto triste la storia。。。 mette a nudo i sentimenti della famiglia。 Adoro il fatto che l'autrice ha mostrato il modo di reagire di tutti i fratelli e le sorelle， i loro punti di vista e i loro modi di capire la madre。 Quella che affronta la madre （e anche i figli ovviamente ）è una situazione davvero brutta， fatta di scelte e di sensi di colpa， ma l'amore per i propri figli si vedeva palesemente。 Si è messa in secondo piano per mesi， mettendo sempre al primo posto i figli， ho amato questa cosa。 。。。more

Como ya comenté， lo estoy escuchando。 La voz me gusta。Libro típico de la autora， entretenido， con bastante drama y una protagonista femenina que se enfrenta a ello。 Bueno para desconectar， pero no hay que esperar grandes cosas。 Steel tiene libros mucho mejores （y peores， claro）。 Digamos que queda en la media， sin más。

Jest to pierwsza książka tej autorki， którą przeczytałem。 Niezwykle zaskoczyła mnie historia tej powieści， ponieważ ta autorka kojarzyła mi się zawsze wyłącznie z romansami。 Świetnie opisała ona jak śmierć potrafi pozbawić nas kogoś najbliższego w najbardziej nieoczekiwanej chwili i jak trzeba sobie z tym poradzić dla siebie samych i innych。 Z pewnych względów utożsamiałem swój smutek z główną bohaterką i dlatego uważam， że Pani Steel poradziła sobie znakomicie。 Moim zdaniem jednak powieść mogła Jest to pierwsza książka tej autorki， którą przeczytałem。 Niezwykle zaskoczyła mnie historia tej powieści， ponieważ ta autorka kojarzyła mi się zawsze wyłącznie z romansami。 Świetnie opisała ona jak śmierć potrafi pozbawić nas kogoś najbliższego w najbardziej nieoczekiwanej chwili i jak trzeba sobie z tym poradzić dla siebie samych i innych。 Z pewnych względów utożsamiałem swój smutek z główną bohaterką i dlatego uważam， że Pani Steel poradziła sobie znakomicie。 Moim zdaniem jednak powieść mogłaby być dłuższa， żeby lepiej przedstawić nam lepiej naszych bohaterów。 Poza tym jednak czytało się tę książkę dość dobrze。 。。。more

Un libro entretenido que se puede leer en una sentada; tiene partes muy tristes que te hacen reflexionar sobre la situación que vive la protagonista y su familia y a la vez te deja unas cuantas enseñanzas。 Lo recomiendo。

Un libro que al principio es un poco dramático por la situación que pasa la protagonista。 Pero que a medida que avanza la historia los pensamientos del lector van cambiando。 Danielle Steel nos quiere enseñar en este libro que a pesar de que haya situaciones complicadas en este mundo。 Todos somos capaces de superarlas de una manera o de otra aunque tardemos más o menos tiempo。
