Advantages: Escapism and a good writing style.

Disadvantages: None

As a big Danielle Steel fan, I usually buy each of her books soon after their release in paperback, and always read them the same day. I bought 'Granny Dan' on my lunch break one day last week, and read it after work.

It starts off with a woman remembering her grandmother. Danina Petroskova, who she always called Granny Dan. All of the book, except for the beginning and end, which are set in the present day, is set in the early part of the 20th century. Danina Petroskova lives in Russia, and after her mothers death is sent to a ballet school, aged seven. The story follows her life up until she is in her early twenties, and has something for everyone.

There is sadness, romance, history (albeit with some adaptations!) and ultimately tragedy. But having said that, the ending is both sad, but if not exactly happy, then comfortable.

Although Danielle Steel is a prolific author, she has an easy to read style that is perfect when you want to relax at the end of a tough day.

I would recommend this and any Danielle Steel books to anyone who likes this type of easy readng.
