Description Conducive To Books The Woman from Paris

They had built their lives in this grand old house, its walls encompassing their family and their secrets. Nestled in the sweeping hills they have always known, the house is part of their history, their heritage. But these four walls also hold a secret.

When Lord Frampton dies in a skiing accident, a beautiful young woman named Phaedra appears at his funeral—claiming to be the lord’s illegitimate daughter. In his will, Lord Frampton has left the priceless Frampton suite of sapphires to this interloper, confirming her claim and outraging his three adult sons and widow. Eventually, however, Phaedra’s sweet nature thaws the frosty relationships. She becomes the daughter that Antoinette Frampton never had and a wise and compassionate granddaughter to the formidable Dowager Lady Frampton. But an attraction grows between Phaedra and the eldest son, David. It seems an impossible love—blocked by their blood connection and by the fury of one family member who is determined to expose Phaedra as a fraud.

Filled with the luscious scenery and enchanting characters her fans adore, Santa Montefiore’s The Woman from Paris confirms the remarkable power of love to heal broken families and tender hearts.

Judge About Books The Woman from Paris

This was not Santas best book. The plot was ok, but a lot of it just doesnt ring true - even for fiction. The climax was flat, but I will add that this is the first book of hers that I didnt enjoy.

NB: Title in USA is 'The Woman From Paris'I first took an interest in this authors writing in 2001 when her first novel Meet Me Under The Umbo Tree was published. I went on to read the next two as they were released The Butterfly Box and The Forget Me Not Sonata. It was another five years before any more of her books came my way when in 2008 I read two more of her novels Last Voyage of the Valentina and The Gypsy Madonna. It was to be another three years before I read two more of her novels, The

The story could've moved along at a much faster pace. I enjoyed the overall plot yet it just seemed to take entirely too long to get to the good stuff! Could've been dramatically shortened to keep my attention. I was sick which is the only reason the read went fast. Normally this would've taken me weeks to get through. Sometimes authors need to get to the point!!

This is my first book by this author, and must say that I look forward to reading more by her. The story opened up on a sad note, and picked up from there. I was already engrossed within the first few pages, and could visualize the characters and their personalities, mood & demeanor. The Dowager Lady Frampton cracked me up & had me literally laughing out loud on several occasions due to her snarkiness and irreverent humor - somewhat reminded me of Maggie Smith in Downton Abbey as Lady

An easy read full of family values, loving, making mistakes, letting go, moving on etc

Super predictable. I mean, all us readers knew the truth (about soooo many things, Julius, Dr, Phaedra) and we were just waiting for the characters in the book to catch on.And what about the "ick! factor"? Never addressed by the main characters. Despite a compliment from Julian Fellowes, this reminded me of early Penny Vincenzi, whom I used to devour. Skip unless you really your sopa opera.

Very predictable story line. Thats all you need to know. Light reading. Mildly annoying.
