Remembrance: An epic, unputdownable read from the worldwide bestseller

Product Information

Throughout this entire novel, not ONE of the characters felt real. Do you know how much profanity I'm tempted to use here as I attempt to convey my frustration? OK, Steel, you've made it quite clear that a woman should always be perfect (flawless figure, long and lean, shining hair, amazing fashion sense -- piss off, why don't you), ready to have sex multiple times a day at the drop of a hat, and -- if at all possible -- a princess. They also receive diamonds, fur coats, and endless amounts of wealth at the drop of a hat. No biggie. Happens all the time.

Tp bukannya ngelarin buku yg belum dibaca, malah reread si Remembrance ini 🤭. Dulu, belasan thn yg lalu, kayaknya ni buku bagus banget. Tp dibaca ulang skrg, biasa aja. Jelek ngga, bagus banget juga ngga. Khas DS, agak2 soap opera yg dibalut sejarah. Serena, yg digambarkan sebagai keturunan bangsawan yg cantik jelita dan berpenampilan aristokrat, kadang suka cetek banget cara berfikirnya dan lemah. Paling kesel pas bagian dia ngga pergi2 juga dr si Vasili yg gila itu. Kasian dgn Vanessa yg menurutku justru lebih pinter dari emaknya. Untungnya DS memberi ending yg indah buat Teddy, kalo ngga kelewatan banget. The book is divided into parts: early years and the survival years. After so much pain and sorrow she's had to get a job and watch her brother in law go to war. Nella seconda parte del libro invece si parla della storia di Serena con Vasili, della sua carriera da indossatrice e di come le cose possano cambiare e precipitare in modo vertiginoso. Di Vanessa e di come si cresciuta, di Teddy e di Linda.

Steel spends two to three years on each book, juggling multiple projects at once. According to Steel, once she has an idea for a story, her first step is to make notes, which are mostly about the characters. She told The New York Times in 2018: "I make notes for a while before I start work on the outline. The notes are usually more about the characters. I need to know the characters really well before I start — who they are, how they think, how they feel, what has happened to them, how they grew up."

I loved the first part, and the build up of Serena's and Brad's relationship, Serena and Teddy's (younger brother of Brad) friendship. But during the second part the book lost all its interest to me. Serena's entire character development was destroyed for me.
