Aug 17 Book Review: Complications by Danielle Steel

 




Complications by Danielle Steel
Dedication to her children and list of her works are shown at the beginning of the book.
This author, I've read most of her works, tells a story and with the descriptions makes you feel as if you are there.
Story starts and comes with history of the hotel that is being renovated in Paris and is opening that night after months of being closed.
Internet and phones are still an issue.
We learn of Gabrielle and she's by herself after divorcing Arthur as he has a new very younger wife and child.
Patrick is there and meets his male lover...
Richard and his girl are there-others think on their honeymoon.
With phones not working there is no way to quickly get a heart attack patient help, another man is dead and so many have no idea what is going on.
New owners of the hotel will not like the downfall of the first week of the reopening...
Story follows them all: the heart attack patient needs approval from his spouse but Judythe is not his spouse...
Alastair  has just a few months to live, is there and knows a bit about medical things and took over with the defibulator at the hotel.
He is there to just reassure her and help with French as she's American. Alistair had also spent some time with Gabrielle having a drink before he headed to the hospital.
Over time and treatment Alastair has traveled to visit NY to see Gabrielle and even meet her daughters.
They spend time together all over the country in art fairs for Gabby's clients. So real when they are visiting Paris again and jewel robbers are there...
Love how this one ends, didn't see it happening this way. You are brought up to date on the people of that night at the Louis XVI hotel in Paris.
I received this review book from Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine via Net Galley and this is my honest opinion.
