A Novel

De: Danielle Steel

Narrado por: Malcolm Hillgartner

#1 New York Times best-selling author Danielle Steel delivers one of her strongest books to date with this trans-generational narrative that draws inspiration from her own family history. Opening on the cusp of World War II and following an aristocratic German family who seeks refuge in America-with their magnificent Lipizzaner horses-this rich historical novel speaks to the transformative power of love and family.

Late 1930's Germany: Best friends Alex von Hemmerle and Nicolas von Bingen, titled childhood friends with neighboring estates, are witnessing the rise of Nazism when Nick's father reveals the long-buried secret of his son's partial Jewish ancestry. Warned by highly placed friends to flee, the only treasures Nick and his sons can take are two dazzling Lipizzaner horses, gifts from Alex. These powerful and majestic creatures become their ticket to a new life waiting across the ocean-one in which a job has been promised to Nick with the famous Ringling Brothers Circus. While Alex and his daughter face escalating danger in war torn Europe, Nick struggles to adjust to life in the circus…until a graceful young high wire walker manages to steal his heart.

Spanning multiple generations and continents, this is a rich, involving story of transformation, perseverance, fate, love, and loss, tied together by two families who were never meant to stay apart and the magnificent stallion that will link them forever.

Great performance, ok story.

This was not really the type of book I read. Overall it was good but as I'm not real fond of all the lovey dovey stuff so I personally couldn't rate it higher. Malcolm Hillgartner's performance was beautiful and the main story line was actually lovely, I just can't get over the rest.

Beautiful story

Wonderful story about love, struggles and hope. I really enjoyed getting to know the characters through their struggles and triumps in life. loved the ending!!!

great story

What a sweet Story. I'm generally not a horse fan,but the story captivated me and kept me listening all the way to the end!

Told from a distance.

The story was told you did not live it with the characters. I had heard so much about Danielle Steel so I was curious to hear it. It was mildly entertaining. You were never really in the characters heads. It was in the third person and you were told things you did not experience them with the characters. I was honestly disappointed. It really could have been great. It was a great concept.

One of my favorites

I loved this story. It was brilliant. The way the stories crossed cross, were wonderful. Thank you Danielle

Best performance I've heard thus far.
It felt like I was a part of this story and almost cried about all of the lost.

Best book I've heard in a loooong time! !

Love love love this. Great story that crosses over many genres that I enjoy, historical fiction, romance (but not graphic), drama, & adventure. Great narrator as well. Hooked from the first few minutes. Never been much of a Danielle Steel fan but I'm definitely going to check out her other stories now. This is the first time in 4 years I've been inspired enough to write a review. ♡
