Five Days in Paris

A Novel

De: Danielle Steel

Narrado por: Victor Garber

As president of a major pharmaceutical empire, Peter Haskell has everything. Power, position, a career, and a family, which mean everything to him, and for which he has sacrificed a great deal. Compromise has been key in Peter Haskell's life, and integrity is the base on which he lives.

Olivia Thatcher is the wife of a famous senator. She has given to her husband's ambitions and career until her soul is bone dry. She is trapped in a web of duty and obligation, married to a man she once loved and no longer even knows. When her son died, a piece of Olivia died too.

Accidentally, on the night of a bomb threat, they meet in Paris, at the Ritz. Their totally different lives converge for one magical moment in the Place Vendôme, as Olivia carefully, silently, steps out of her life and walks away. As the two strangers meet, their lives become briefly enmeshed. In a café in Montmartre, their hearts are laid bare. Peter, once so sure of his path, so certain of his marriage and success, but suddenly faced with his professional future in jeopardy. Olivia, no longer sure of anything except that she can't go on anymore.

When Olivia disappears, only Peter suspects that it may not be foul play. And if he finds her again, where will they go from there? Five days in Paris is all they have. They go back to their separate lives, but nothing is the same. At home again, they both must pursue their lives, despite challenges, compromise, and betrayal. Everything they believe is put on the line, until they each realize they must stand fast against compromise and face life's challenges head-on.

Good for easy entertaining

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Nothing deep but did hold my interest. One of her better books although epilogue could have been better.

Loved it!

I loved this story! A little too long, but I enjoyed it from the very start.

Five days in Paris

This was a great read for me. I really enjoyed the story line of faith to self and holding on to ones integrity.

Unbelievable fantastic

This writer is incredible. How she writes her books, I can’t get enough. Every time I finish one book I think how can she top the next one and she always does. Just read it you will have no regrets and BTW I’d like a cup of coffee too.

Great book

I enjoy this book a lot, the main character was outstanding and the story was different from what Daniel Steel writes

Love the story

I love the story very much
It’s simple but it gets to the heart easily
Sometimes we’re all like frogs in slowly boiling water
And one day we realised that the water it’s too hot
We’re too close to being boiled alive and too late

Gasps and Yes!

Wow. I’m glad I picked this one up. Loved the twists and turns. Interesting characters and strong characters.

Great Plot

I downloaded this book to my phone but found that I couldn't listen as well in my car because of the Bluetooth. I took a break from it for that reason. I layer decided to fight the blue tooth and listen in the car anyway. once I got into it, I listen almost straight through. it was good

great book

loved the story and romance. couldn't stop listening. Danielle Steel never disappoints. recommended to friends
