Reviewer’s feedback
*Blessing in disguise: an apparent misfortune that eventually has good results.
When we reflect back on our own lives, our trials and tribulations, I am sure there are many moments that we can mark as “blessings in disguise”. Often these obstacles present us with complex problems to solve or overcome, but they ultimately make us stronger.
Blessing in Disguise, the aptly titled new novel from worldwide bestselling author Danielle Steel. It is about one woman’s journey through life. We meet the book’s lead, Isabelle McAvoy, in her early twenties and we follow her through to retirement as she deals with love, life, motherhood, relationships, health issues and career highs/lows. It is a full life, defined by plenty of high drama and feeling, from the queen of women’s fiction.
Blessing in Disguise is another tender hearted page turner, that focuses on the life of independent protagonist Isabelle McAvoy.
