Summary

A special invitation. A night to remember . . .

The Ball at Versailles is a sparkling, captivating tale of four young women and one life-changing night, from the billion copy bestselling author, Danielle Steel.

1958. The Palace of Versailles is hosting an event that will go down in history. It is a glamorous dusk-to-dawn ball, where a select group of debutantes will be presented to international society and royalty. And for four young women, all with something to prove, it is an event they will never forget.

Amelia Alexander is the daughter of a hard-working, single mother who sacrifices everything to ensure that Amelia can take every opportunity for a better life.

Caroline Taylor is pursuing a passionate affair with an up-and-coming movie star ten years her senior. But does he love her, or is his interest because of her famous father?

Nuclear physics student, Felicity Smith, is uninterested in fashion and socializing, but she attends the ball to please her parents and to step out of the shadow of her sister.

And Samantha Walker is the beloved, over-protected daughter of a wealthy businessman, her excitement about the invitation overshadowed by a past tragedy that still haunts her.

An exclusive invitation, a trip to Paris, and one spectacular, show stopping night will change these young women's lives forever . . .

Another tale going around the same saga's with 4 d

Why oh why does DS do this; she writes a story that is so long winded and drawn out you almost lose the will to live. The same theme presented four ways with four characters: A love interest, a family drama of some kind and a happy ever after. All so dull and repetitive. Don't waste your time energy or effort. This is such a shame as many of DS's books are great.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
