Never Say Never

De: Danielle Steel

Narrado por: Michael Braun

#1 New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel’s deeply moving novel is the story of a woman who finds her life turned upside down while living temporarily in the French countryside.

Oona Kelly Webster has much to be grateful for. A striking woman with red hair and green eyes, she has a loving family and a job she adores, editing a prestigious line of books. To celebrate their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary, she and her husband, Charles, have planned a visit to France.

But then Charles drops a bombshell. He has been living a lie—hiding an affair for a year—and he is leaving Oona for a younger male lover.

Although devastated, Oona decides to travel to France without Charles. She arrives in a charming village an hour outside of Paris, and settles into the house she has rented, called La Belle Florence—named after the king’s mistress for whom it was built. But just as she’s catching her breath, she’s dealt another blow: Her company’s merger will eliminate her job.

In the space of a few months, everything she nurtured for decades has slipped through her fingers. The only silver lining is that she can remain in France, where the simple life in beautiful surroundings slowly begins to heal her, as does the little white dog she rescues, and her friendly neighbor hailing from Trinidad, who delights her with his openness and warmth.

Though she does not recognize him at first, she soon realizes her neighbor is a well-known actor. As their feelings for each other begin to deepen, Oona wrestles with the risks of opening her heart again—especially to a younger, very famous man.

Never Say Never is an inspiring novel about a woman who finds a second chance at happiness and love, all because she understands the importance of being brave enough to stay open to change.

magical

it was a great story of two people who meet later in life and fall in love 🥰

It was an ok read.

Didn’t like it narrated by a man. The story repeated to much. Words, situations and how the main character beat herself up over and over.

Good Story

Very well written and told by a great narrator. Can’t wait to listen to the next story by Danielle.

Love

As usual, this was a wonderful book. Charles deserved what he got. One always reaps what you sow.

Just a beautiful love story! I love when people follow their heart.

Never To Late.

I loved the way this story depicted a journey from pain to happiness. it takes courage to look within and change.
