The Wedding Dress

By: Danielle Steel

Narrated by: Todd McLaren

In Danielle Steel’s epic new novel, the lives of four generations of women in one family span fortune and loss, motherhood, tragedy, and victories.

From the glamorous San Francisco social scene of the 1920s, through war and the social changes of the ’60s, to the rise of Silicon Valley today, this extraordinary novel takes us on a family odyssey that is both heartbreaking and inspiring, as each generation faces the challenges of their day.

The Parisian design houses in 1928, the crash of 1929, the losses of war, the drug culture of the 1960s - history holds many surprises, and lives are changed forever. For richer or for poorer, in cramped apartments and grand mansions, the treasured wedding dress made in Paris in 1928 follows each generation into their new lives, and represents different hopes for each of them, as they marry very different men.

From inherited fortunes at the outset to self-made men and women, the wedding dress remains a cherished constant for the women who wear it in each generation and forge a destiny of their own. It is a symbol of their remaining traditions and the bond of family they share in an ever-changing world.

Awesome book

I enjoyed this book. Danielle Steele writes the best books/stories. Brilliant mind. I always tell others about her work.

Wish I could give it 6 stars!

D.S. hits another home run. I loved it. There is lots of history in this book from the late 1920's to current day and time.
Many strong female characters and lots of wonderful, interesting content. I think my favorite aspect was how it centered around the "dress" and how I found myself trying to visualize it. I didn't care for Ruby's spouse and his womanizing.

The narrator was great with both genders of characters.

Didn't want this one to end!

Don't miss this if you are a fan of D.S.

I have always enjoyed reading Danielle Steele's books. can't wait for the next one.
