Rendition In Pursuance Of Books The Sins of the Mother

Every woman makes choices. And no one has made more difficult choices than Olivia Grayson. The enormously successful businesswoman missed out on much of her children’s lives while she built her legendary home-furnishings empire. In Danielle Steel’s character-rich new novel, Olivia faces the past, tries to balance the present, and makes amends where due, while still running her vastly successful business.

THE SINS OF THE MOTHER

As a way of making up to them for time lost, Olivia spends months every year planning a lavish holiday that everyone in her family will enjoy. This summer she has arranged a dream trip in the Mediterranean on a luxurious yacht, which she hopes will be the most memorable vacation of all. Her lavish gesture every year expresses her love for them, and regret at all the important times she missed during her children’s younger years. Her younger daughter, Cassie, a hip London music producer, refuses the invitation altogether, as she does every year. Her older daughter, Liz, lives in her mother’s shadow, with a terror of failure as she tries to recapture her dream of being a writer. And her sons, John and Phillip, work for Olivia, for better or worse, with wives who wish they didn’t. In the splendor of the Riviera, this should be a summer to remember, with Olivia’s children, grandchildren, and daughters-in-law on board. But as with any family gathering, there are always surprises, and no matter how glamorous the setting things don’t always turn out as ones hopes.

Family dynamics are complicated, old disappointments die hard, and as forgiveness and surprising revelations enter into it, new bonds are formed, and the future takes on a brighter hue. And one by one, with life’s irony, Olivia’s children find themselves committing the same “sins” for which they blamed their mother for so many years. It is a summer of compassion, important lessons, and truth.

The Sins of the Mother captures the many sides of family love: complex, challenging, funny, passionate, and hopefully enduring. Along the way, we are enthralled by an unforgettable heroine, a mother strong enough to take more than her fair share of the blame, wise enough to respect her children for who they really are, and forgiving enough to love them unconditionally.

Piece Appertaining To Books The Sins of the Mother

I haven't read a DS novel in many years. I used to love them in her earlier days, and my HS days. But after reading a dozen or so, I think I had run through all of her basic plots and could see that her "new" books simply substituted new characters into the same formula, and got bored. Then today I saw this at the library and thought "why not, haven't read her in a very long time, maybe she has improved." She has not, and this is just plain bad. Very simplistic writing, sentences and ideas

I love DS, this book reminds me of another book though that I have read from another author [Barbara Taylor Bradford]. Although I managed to read this book from start to finish I knew what the ending was going to be, happy ever after :(

I just needed something..anything...to read. I downloaded it for free on my Kobo.This is the first Danielle Steel book I have read in years. While her early books are good (Fine Things, Mirror Image, Malice, Family Album), her newer books are not. Her books seem to follow a specific pattern. I knew by the end of the fifth chapter that her grandson was going to state that he is gay. I knew right from when she said that he is more into sports than girls. I don't know if it is because I have read

Steel has sunk to new lows with this book. The only good thing I can say about it was it gave me a chance to practice speed reading! I know I'll hear from some Steel fan that I missed the plot since I sped read it! Maybe I did but I suggest for someone reading it to do this:1. Read the first chapter or two to get the characters down2. Skip to the middle of the book for the story [there actually is a so called plot in the last half. The first half is nothing but a vacation on a yacht that an

After reading her novel--Friends Forever--I had high hopes for this was and was extremely disappointed. Danielle Steele reverted back to many of her previous books....Rich people, no actual worries, everything around them is perfect, and the backdrop has to much of a perfection that is very fantasy like. I skimmed through many pages because it got boring and the end was very predictable. No real drama and tedious. Don't know if I will buy into any future books.

The story was good but once again all Danielle Steel can seem to write about is rich people doing fancy things and dropping designer names along the way. How about a nice normal every day person in one of your books? Not sure she knows what the "little" people are like. Always tell myself I am done with her and then give her another chance to be disappointed all over again.

It was a typical Danielle Steel novel: formulaic with beautiful people who have lots of money and a family drama of some sort. Her books are always fast reads for me and I really enjoyed this one. She's not a literary genius, but she knows how to write an interesting book, perfect for a weekend read.
