Yet another brilliant novel from the author.
Plot: The White Dinner is a love poem to friendship, joy, elegance, and the monuments of Paris. And each year it is an unforgettable summer night, especially for Jean-Philippe Dumas, a longtime participant, and the three couples he’s carefully selected to attend this exclusive and cherished event. Interweaving the stories of seven individuals, lives will be forever changed on the eve of one such White Dinner; a night that will lead to new friendships, new love, and of course, magical possibilities.
Remarks: Danielle’s stories have become a firm favourite of mine – and this book is testament to that. This time around, she explores the annual White Dinner held in Paris. What I enjoyed about the book is that each character and each couple is woven so well into each other and their lives are fascinating to read about. The characters are the elite of the elite, which we love to read about, and its interesting to see how their lives work out and the good and bad they suffer through, the same as us normal humans. I also enjoyed how Danielle brought life to each different character and showed the change when they came together. This is a fantastic and realistic read. I found myself not being able to put the book down. If you’re a Danielle Steele fan, this is a must-read!
