When a high-powered gallery owner collides with a wildly offbeat artist, it's the perfect recipe for disaster. But in her 63rd best-selling novel, Danielle Steel proves that when two hopelessly mismatched people share a love for art, a passion for each other, and a city like Paris, nothing is truly impossible...or is it? Everything Sasha does is within the boundaries of tradition. Liam is sockless in December. While the two are utterly unalike - and a nine-year age difference stares them squarely in the face - the miracle of art brings them crashing together.

Everybody Wins
Kimberley Sun ambles along without ever making an impact. Its vanilla sex and politics make it unlikely to disturb readers' afternoons, let alone their sensibilities. In other words, it is perfect popular fiction

a moving story
How do you really summarise a story with so much depth. It's like trying to describe all the ocean has to offer in a single sentence.
As a proud Western Australian, familiar with Broome and the Kimberley as a whole, I found the story very easy to relate to.
The sense of wonder, the familiarity with the senses being awoken as the characters travelled and experienced different aspects of the land.
And, as a lost soul myself, I found myself yearning for solace with the characters. And at the same time, understanding the trepidation they felt when discovering themselves.
I wanted to cry when it concluded.
And when a writer can feed your emotions at every turn, right to the end, I know I have found a new favourite.
I cant wait to read/listen to Di's other stories.
Judy Nunn is also very similar should others wish to check out a similar style of writing and story telling.

Another great story from Di Morrissey.. Well told, easily identifiable characters, easy to lose yourself in the scenery.
For the most part the reading was excellent but the voice of Lily was very off putting.
she sounded English & upper class in this book, where in the first of the series she was a straight forward Aussie. I became very annoyed with her voice as it didnt fit the character at all!
