Far from Home

De: Danielle Steel

Narrado por: Jim Frangione

#1 New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel delivers an exciting and moving historical novel about a courageous wife and mother hiding in occupied France.

In July 1944, Arielle von Auspeck arrives at the glamorous Hotel Ritz in occupied Paris. Half French, half German, she is happy to be back in France, where her husband, Gregor, a retired colonel, will join her soon from Germany. Arielle and Gregor have thus far been able to hide their private opposition to Hitler.

Then her world falls apart. She receives word that Gregor was part of Operation Valkyrie, a failed attempt to assassinate Hitler in Poland, and has been shot as a traitor. Now, holding a French passport handed to her by another high-level collaborator, she is whisked away from Paris under cover of darkness for her own safety.

As the Allies storm the beaches, she goes into hiding in a small village in Normandy under an assumed name, unable to contact her adult children. There, she forms a friendship with Sebastien Renaud, whose wife and daughter were deported in 1941, and who eventually reveals himself as a forger in the Resistance. As war rages on, Arielle and Sebastien work for the Resistance and hold out for the time when they can search for their loved ones.

In Far From Home, Danielle Steel captures the devastation of World War II with a sweeping story of family love that transcends impossible odds.

Fantastic

I love Danielle Steel. I wish she would get different reader than the male she always uses. But I like the book!

Danielle Steel has done it again!

Another wonderful novel from Danielle of wartime France and Germany with losses and romance.

The way the story held my attention the story was awesome. It was hard to stop listening and I finished it quickly.

The entire story was absolutely great. I loved this book!! The details written about the death camps and truly all the issues of the war were expressed so well you felt you were there!! Excellent job as always!!!

Enjoyed this very much

I really liked the way the loose ends were tied up before the end of the story. So many times stories will leave you hanging. I would love to see a sequel as to what happened to everyone afterwards, but I doubt that will happen. But at least I got closure when the story was finished.

great listen

Another great book. Enjoyed listening, wish there might of been a few more twists. On to the next one.

Well written

Enjoyed the story. Danielle Steel tells a historical drama with insight that helps one understand the importance of going beyond what’s comfortable, doing the right thing no matter the cost, and praying for the best outcome.

this book reminded me of a previous book that Danielle Steel wrote called Echoes which was the most beautiful book I've ever read and listened to over and over again. thank you Danielle.
