A review by bonniereads777
Royal by Danielle Steel
4.0
It is 1943, and war is ravaging England. The King and Queen send their youngest daughter, Charlotte, to stay with friends in the country in order to keep her safe. The trusted friends tell no one of Charlotte's identity, not even their son or servants. A series of events unfolds that will eventually surprise the world.
This is a classic Danielle Steel novel, which is a combination of tragedy, fairy tale, and love story. The royal family in question is fictional, and some may not like that, but I love it. It gives the author more license with the royal characters and their personalities. The world of horses and horse racing is also involved in an interesting way.
Reality has to be suspended a little, as in most Steel novels, and history is rewritten a bit, but this is a satisfying escape of a novel, and the kind we all want to indulge in from time to time.
Danielle Steel's million of fans will love this one, as will anyone who enjoys stories about horses and horse racing.
