The Ghost

De: Danielle Steel

Narrado por: Joe Grifasi

With a wife he loves and an exciting London-based career, architect Charles Waterston's life seems in perfect balance. Nothing prepares him for the sudden end to his ten-year marriage-or his unwanted transfer to his firm's New York office.

Christmas is approaching when Charlie leaves New York, heading to Vermont to ski. But a sudden snowstorm strands him in a small Massachusetts town. There Charlie meets an elderly widow who offers to rent him her exquisite lakeside chateau. Hidden deep in the woods, it once belonged to a woman who lived there two centuries before named Sarah Ferguson. And from the moment Charlie sets foot inside the chateau, he feels her presence.

When Charlie first glimpses her, a beautiful young woman with jet-black hair, he thinks it is a neighbor playing a joke. Until he finds her diaries hidden away in an old trunk. As he begins to turn the brittle, dusty pages, the spirit of Sarah Ferguson seems to fill his life. Sarah's first entry is dated 1789 as she writes of her harrowing journey from her native England, having fled the brutality of her aristocratic husband. Settling in Massachusetts, Sarah finds an unfamiliar land seething with the turbulence of the Indian wars. As she builds her home in the wilderness and meets a man who will transform her life, Sarah finds freedom from the torment of her past. His name is Francois de Pellerin, a French nobleman adopted by Indians and drawn into the battle for the growing nation. Their fateful union is a testament to a love so powerful it reaches across the centuries. And for Charlie Waterston, their story gives him the courage to let go of his past, and the freedom to grasp a future that is right before his eyes.

In The Ghost, Danielle Steel brilliantly interweaves past and present, bringing to life two stories, centuries apart, in a timeless novel of courage, healing, and love.

I didn’t want it to end

Such a wonderful story that I wish it would just keep going on. I liked the narrator he did very well with this book

One of my favorite Danielle Steel novels

A very engaging novel.I embrace books with strong women and this book did not disappoint. Don’t let the title scare you away. It really is not a ghost story but a dual time period book with the same house in common. This book is a delight and a joy to read!

Charlie finding his home

The book is very interesting since it’s a story within a story. A great book for people who are heartbroken over a breakup. What can the reader take away from the book that Charlie has learned from Sarah’s journal that will change his life? Awesome love story and I cried!

The Ghost

It's a prove that true love still exist. It awakens deep feelings with desire for living and creation.
