This book revolves around 2 women, Noelle Page and Catherine Alexander. Noelle is a girl from Marseille and Catherine an American. They have rather different upbringings but their lives eventually were intertwined when they at different times had fell in love with the same man, Larry Douglas. This story is set pre WWII to just post WWII.
Noelle is bent on revenge as Larry did not come back for her in Paris after agreeing to marry her and getting her pregnant. Noelle begins her revenge by killing the baby in her which she deems a part of Larry. She does not straight away get an abortion but waits 3 months whence the fetus would have already fully developed to know and feel things. After which she begins her plan of revenge on Larry by going on the path of being a successful actress to lure back Larry.
Catherine in the meantime is in American having moved to Washington to work in politics. She was assigned to manage a war effort movie to recruit the younger generation. There she meets RAF pilot Larry Douglas, where they fall in love and get married.
Noelle then becomes a very popular actress and becomes social royalty where she meets one of the wealthiest and most powerful man in the world, Constantine Demeris. She becomes his mistress and she begins her plan of revenge on Larry which leads to the intertwining of these three lives.
This book is very nice and wonderful. It is set in France, America and Greece. Very wonderful characters. Some twists that I did not see coming but in all honesty did not like to see coming. Also, did not want it to come. But it did and in the end the results are bittersweet. As a whole the book is riveting, took me 2-3 days to read. Now looking forward to the second book Memories of Midnight. I love Sidney Sheldon and will read everything he has written.
