Fairytale by Danielle Steel was just another mediocre novel to me. It wasn’t very original and even though it kept my attention, it was nothing special. Fairytale follows Camille, who is the daughter of a very successful winemaker, Christophe. Christophe’s wife, Joy, dies of breast cancer and within a year he is remarried to a very conniving woman, Maxine. When Christophe dies in a plane crash, you discover Maxine is really a wicked stepmother. Fairytale follows Cinderella perfectly, so you basically know what is going to happen before it even happens. I'm a Danielle Steel snob so of course I'm going to say I liked this book but I didn't love it as much as some of her others but glad I read it. Fairytale is the perfect title for this book but it should have been sub-titled Wicked: The Stepmother is a bitch. Camille is only 24 years old but wise and mature for her age running her families winery after her mother dies young of cancer and her father dies in a tragic accident. I would have never been able to do what she did. She was a smart woman and knew what was going on in the winery. Christophe was her father, who was a good guy but fell hard in love with the Countess Maxine who only wanted to get her hooks into men's $. I'm not going to go into what happens but let's just say that Maxine and her jerks of sons got their due. I fell in love with Simone (Maxine's feisty 87 year old mother) who she brought over from France. She became Camille's fairy godmother and I wanted to adopt her! nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML:NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A wonderful, beautifully told tale from America's favorite novelist, Fairytale is a captivating example of the truths that will always withstand even the darkest storms, and a reminder that sometimes fairytales do come true, and good prevails over evil in the end. Camille Lammenais has grown up in the beauty of the Napa Valley, surrounded by acres of her family's vineyards. Her parents, Christophe and Joy, still deeply in love after two decades of marriage, have built a renowned winery and château modeled after Christophe's ancient family estate in his native Bordeaux. Camille has had a perfect childhood, safe in her parents' love. After graduating from Stanford, she returns to help manage Château Joy, her lifetime goal. But their fairytale ends suddenly with her mother's death from cancer. Six months after losing his wife, the devastated Christophe is easy prey for a mysterious, charming Frenchwoman visiting the valley. The Countess de Pantin is the essence of Parisian seductiveness and sophistication. Within weeks they are a clandestine couple, making love like teenagers, glowing with their secret. Camille, still grieving for her mother, is shocked by the news that her father intends to remarry. Then she begins to see past the alluring looks, designer clothes, and elegant manners of the countess, while her innocent father is trapped in her web. When tragedy strikes again, Camille is at her stepmother's mercy, and that of the two evil stepbrothers who appear. Camille needs to fightâ??first for her legacy, and then for her very life. But as she grapples with the plots being carried out against her, the countess's elderly, kind, clever mother becomes her only ally, and a childhood friend emerges as a prince worthy of any fairytale.

That made me wonder: do I know when to stop reading? Am I forcing myself to finish books I don't like because of some misplaced feeling of obligation?
This book cleared that up really quickly. ( )
