What this book is about

Danielle Steel's novel centers on an extravagant charity ball held at the Palace of Versailles—a once-in-a-generation event that draws together aristocrats, celebrities, and ordinary people who have won their way in. Steel weaves together several storylines across the lead-up to the ball: a woman recovering from a failed marriage, a young man honoring his late parents' legacy, and the organizational effort to stage something magnificent. Characteristically warm, glamorous, and emotionally satisfying.
