Synopsis
A renowned supermodel's world is torn apart in an instant, sending her on an unexpected journey of discovery in Beautiful, a masterful novel from the international number one bestselling author Danielle Steel.
Veronique Vincent is a star. At age twenty-two, she is one of the most sought-after models in fashion, gracing the covers of magazines and walking the runways of haute couture shows across the globe. Yet, despite being the consummate professional, Veronique wants little of the glamorous life that modeling affords her. The beloved daughter of a hardworking single mother, she has always preferred spending time at home or with her kindhearted boyfriend to attending lavish parties. When a quick getaway presents a welcome break on the heels of Paris Fashion Week, and before a Vogue cover shoot in Tokyo, Veronique is thrilled, eager to escape the mayhem of her busy schedule. Then, out of nowhere, a tragic explosion at Zaventem Airport in Brussels changes her life forever.
The ruthless terrorist attack has the entire world on edge. Veronique finds herself hospitalized and alone, devastated to learn that the blast has killed both of the people she loved most. She is also forced to confront the harsh reality that she has been severely injured, her famous appearance forever altered. As she plunges into seclusion, the industry that once adored her believes her to have fallen off the map. In truth, she is struggling to find herself again after losing everything, and to discover what truly matters in life. But her mother’s will, accompanied by a letter Veronique never knew existed, reveals long-held secrets, introducing her to a world she hadn’t even known was possible.
As Veronique forges bonds old and new, she begins to see a light beyond the darkness she has come to inhabit, finding peace in opportunities to help others, and redefining for herself what beauty is, and what it truly means to be beautiful. Danielle Steel presents a story of one woman’s breathtaking perseverance in moving beyond tragedy to a life more meaningful than she could ever have imagined.

Paperback. Etat : Used. In a world teeming with the mundane and mediocre, Danielle Steel rises from the literary sphere like a peacock at a pigeon convention. Her 2022 offering, "Beautiful," promises a dazzling escape into the realm of high society, where the cocktail parties are electric, the wardrobes are resplendent, and the characters are as nuanced as a soap opera plot twist. With a title like that, one can only wonder: is it a book, a self-help guide, or possibly an invitation to join an exclusive club for the exceedingly glamorous? Spoiler alert: it?s all of the above and decidedly none of it at once. Steel?s prose is as polished as the shoes of a London banker, and just as predictable. It beckons readers into a world where beauty is both a blessing and a curse, akin to having a monogrammed handkerchief in a sneezing contest. Here, every character seems to float through life, bedecked in designer brands that could finance a small country. But fear not, dear reader, for amidst the high-octane lifestyles and improbable plotlines, Steel manages to lace her narrative with the occasional morsel of insight that might just make you question what you believe to be beautiful. Or at the very least, you?ll be chuckling at the absurdity of it all. As you flip through the pages, you might find yourself pondering the following existential questions: Is beauty merely skin deep? How many designer handbags does one need to live a fulfilling life? And, most importantly, can one truly wear stilettos while contemplating the meaning of existence? The answers, naturally, remain elusive, much like the plot twists lurking around the next corner of this extravagant tale. Steel tantalizes us with morsels of wisdom, proving once again that she can indeed string together a few words that sound profound, even if they float away like a feather on a summer breeze. Perhaps the most ironic aspect of "Beautiful" is how it invites readers to revel in a world that is both glamorous and ridiculous, where champagne flows like water and heartstrings are tugged with all the finesse of a toddler on a merry-go-round. The characters?oh, the characters!?are as richly drawn as the labels on their clothing. Each one is perfectly coiffed, their backstories as carefully constructed as a London bridge, yet you?ll find it difficult to muster any sympathy for their vapid dilemmas. They?re like a parade of peacocks strutting through a field of daisies?impressive but ultimately unnecessary. The book is punctuated with moments that scream for dramatic flair, even if they are often drowned out by the relentless clinking of champagne glasses. Steel has a penchant for the dramatic, and "Beautiful" is no exception. With every turn of the page, expect to encounter characters mired in the complexities of love, loss, and the ever-pressing question of who wore it best at that last extravagant gala. It?s a literary romp through a landscape where beauty is currency, and the stakes are as high as the stilettos those characters wear. Condition: Used, but in a state that suggests it has been lovingly thumbed through by those who couldn?t resist the allure of its glossy cover and flamboyant promises. The pages may show signs of wear, perhaps from impassioned readings accompanied by a glass of wine or two, but don?t let that deter you. There?s something charming about a book that has lived a little, much like its characters, who, despite their plush lives, seem to be perpetually searching for something more?like a real connection or a decent cup of tea. In the end, "Beautiful" stands as a testament to the absurdity of human nature, wrapped in the shiny veneer of glitz and glamour. It invites you to laugh, to scoff, and to reflect on the meaning of beauty in a world that often seems to celebrate the shallow and the superficial. So grab your copy, find a plush armchair, and prepare for a scandalously delightful read?just don?t expect to leave unscathed by the irony of it all. After all, it?s available at Crappy Old Books, where every book has a story, even if it?s one that?s been rehashed a few too many times. THIS BOOK BEARS THE CRAPPY OLD BOOKS STAMP. IF THAT IS UNDESIRABLE PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS. THE STAMP MARKS WHICH IS USUALLY TO THE FRONT AND BACK INNER PAGES SAYS SOLD BY CRAPPY OLD BOOKS WITH WEB SITE URL. IT IN NO WAY DEMINISHED FROM THE READING. IF YOU WANT A PRISTINE BOOK, PLEASE FIND ANOTHER BOOK IN BETTER CONDITION SOMEWHERE ELSE. N° de réf. du vendeur 2089
