Magic – Steel Danielle (2017)

The story begins on a summer evening with the kind of magic found only in Paris. Once a year, a lavish dinner takes place outside a spectacular landmark in the City of Light. Chosen by secret invitation, the guests arrive dressed in white, and at the end of the night hundreds of white paper lanterns carrying their fervent wishes rise into the sky. Amid this wondrous White Dinner, a group of close friends stands on the threshold of change. Jean-Philippe and Valerie are successful, ambitious and devoted to their young family, but a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in China may bring separation and temptation. Bernadetta and Gregorio run an Italian clothing empire in Milan, yet Gregorio has a weakness that will trigger a crisis in both their company and their marriage. Screenwriter Chantal and Indian technology entrepreneur Dharam arrive as friends, but before the night is over, their lives will take dramatically different paths. A transformative year of triumphs and heartbreaks unfolds until the next White Dinner. Danielle Steel is known for inspirational stories about family, love and life, enjoyed by readers of Penny Vincenzi, Jodi Picoult and Diane Chamberlain.
