Coming Out

Never read it. My sister reads her books alot. I just buy them for her to read.

I REALLY ENJOYED THIS BOOK. IT GOT TO THE POINT FROM THE VERY BEGINING. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE WHO LIKES TO READ BOOKS THAT GETS TO THE POINT.

Danielle Steel writes another interesting novel about 2 young girls Virginia and Veronica who "come out" at a Debutante Ball called the "Arches". This is expected of them since they are from New York's upper crust. Their mother Olympia made her debut in the same place 27 years ago and she is sentimental about the event. The problem is that her second husband Harry Rubinstein, a liberal Jewish judge, does not approve of the snobbery associated with the event and does not want to go. To make matters worse, the girl's father Chauncey, an obnoxious snob, insists that the girls go even though Veronica, a typical teenager, feels that it against her principles. The story is interesting because it illustrates all of the struggles that each member of family goes through in order to attend the ball. In the end, everything works out and there is peace among the family members. Each person handles the significance of the event in their own way.

The author drives the nail perfectly with one blow of the hammer. "Coming Out" gathers the world and puts it in ITS place. Tenderness knows not the boundaries of religion, gender, race or ethnics. Fantastically and precisely written: the reader can feel the history of prejudice and the miracle of coming out of the same cleansed. The diamonds and white gowns are so real one can see the spark between the lines. Well done, Ms. Steel: your best yet.

I have been a big fan of Danielle Steel's for yrs. & each time a new book of her's comes out I have to get it & read it. This book I really like cuz it dealt with family & some conflicts that could happen to an everyday family & their lives. You start reading this book & it is hard to put down as you want to see & read what is going to happen next. Get this book & read it you won't be disappointed in it.
