Mirror Image (Danielle Steel)

Danielle Steele has outdid herself with another great book. I enjoyed the family closeness of the characters in the book. The romance was great. I liked the bonding between the twin sisters.

I have only experienced three (going on 4) of Danielle Steel books. Any fan would know it's hard to choose a favorite... but "Mirror Image", I can say, left a smile on my face and a lasting impression. If you're big into family and the ties that bind siblings but you're also a hopeless romantic (like myself), then you'll simply LOVE this book. A thought provoking, heart-warming and heart-aching book, "Mirror Image" will teach you the power of love siblings can have for one another and the power of Love in general. If you have brothers or sisters... you can relate. If you have none... you'll learn the power... the eternal power... of the love siblings can share for one another as well as learn the healing power of Love. This was a breathtaking book... and well worth the read. Even the abridged version leaves an impression.

This book reminds me of a wonderfully crafted symphony. It had a great blend of adventure, romance, lust, love lost, new beginnings, regret and want. I read it in eight hours, I couldn't put it down. The characters were developed to perfection, and while some things were quite cliche, like of course Victoria was on the Lusitania, the story was original. It described the myseterious relationship between twins perfectly and it was just an amamzing book.

For the Henderson sisters their bond was like no other, they were twins and no one could tell them apart, even their father got them confused. Vitoria was the wild child who loved to partisipate in suffrage movements, she never liked to stay in one place. Olivia was the more serious of the two the only thing she lived for was making others happy, she stayed at her father's estate. Olivia longed for her sister's husband while Victoria wanted out of the marriage. So they did something everyone would have never thought, switched places. "I'm leaving" pg.326 was one of the most important quotes in the book. This qoute is said by Victoria when she decides she can't live in a loveless marriage anymore. When she says this you know she means business and there is nothing that can change her mind. This is the foundation for the reason that they switch places. This is a romance book and it rates one of the best I have ever read. Even though i haven't read many this book wants me to read more. If you like history, because it deals some what with it, and romance then this is the book for you. If you don't like to brush up on your history then it isn't a book good for you. I must say that if it wasn't for the romance I wouldn't have read the whole book. If this is how Danielle Steel writes all of her books, I would suggest reading them all.

So many people on Amazon gave this book a bad rating, so when I picked this book up I was almost afraid to read it. But I am so glad I did. This book starts out only one year after the Titanic tragically sinks. We meet Olivia and Victoria Henderson, two strikenly beautiful mirror image twins. One could not tell one from the other. Olivia is the calm and surreen one where as Victoria is the wild feminist. After a visit to New York, Victoria disgraces her good name. Her father becomes so horribly enraged and forces her to marry a man she didn't love. A man meant for her sister Olivia. His wife had died on the Titanis and he was left taking care of his little boy. This book will take you to New York all the way to war ravaged France. You will laugh and cry and look at life in a whole new beautiful day. This novel will make you love yourself and love the simple blessings you are granted. Don't let yourself pass this book up. Embrace it and love it like a beautiful child. Let the words speak to your heart and soul. And along the way LEARN! You will love this book.
