NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Danielle Steel returns with an irresistible novel about a woman whose seemingly perfect life comes crashing down—and learns to find joy in rising above.

Darcy Gray is a successful influencer with her blog, The Gray Zone, trusted by more than a million followers for her integrity and taste. At forty-two, she has the life she wants in many ways. Darcy and her husband, department store magnate Charles Gray, are a power couple in Manhattan and on the international stage. Their beloved twin daughters are each enjoying their junior year abroad, Penny in Hong Kong and Zoe at the Sorbonne in Paris.

To celebrate twenty years of marriage, Darcy impulsively flies to Rome to surprise Charlie, who is tending to business interests there. Instead, she gets the shock of her life, which upends her whole world.

Still reeling, Darcy flees to Paris to see Zoe. But a rapidly escalating worldwide health crisis forces her to remain indefinitely in France. Suddenly thrust into a gray zone of her own, her forced separation from Zoe and the rest of her family feels like too much to bear . . .

Until Darcy finds a welcoming refuge in the home of the aging French movie star Sybille Carton. There, she meets a widowed American engineer and former Marine who is also stranded. Bill Thompson is kind and courteous but also carries an air of mystery about him. In this shared confinement, and despite worries about her girls, Darcy begins to see glimpses of new possibilities.

In Resurrection, Danielle Steel poignantly shows how the hardest of times can give birth to a beautiful new life.

I liked that there weren't too many characters to keep track of! Very relatable and not too long & drawn out.

This story had my attention until I finished it - one partial day and a few hours in the afternoon. There were a lot of details and it was never boring. I really enjoyed Resurrection!

A New Beginning

I have been reading books by Danielle Steel for many many years and she has been one of my favorite authors. Most of her books are very entertaining. She doesn’t disappoint. This story revolves around a couple breaking up after twenty years of marriage. Both the characters are very successful and do a lot of traveling between New York and Europe. During this time a pandemic occurs very much like Covid and the whole family is affected. But even with all the drama Ms. Steel gives us a happy ending. I look forward to the next books Danielle writes!

I thought it was okay but how many books has she written about the fashion industry lately? As everyone said, very predictable and husband was let off too easily.

Fairy Tales Come True

Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2024

I recommend this book to romantics. It was quite predictable, but enjoyable nonetheless. The thought of another pandemic is certainly possible. Meeting a new partner during this time is quite improbable in real life. It is a fairy tale with a happy ending.

This is not her best work. I found it boring. If I fall asleep while reading, I know the book is so so. I feel asleep a lot and found I was skipping pages to get the point. Good fluff book for vacation. I
