Publisher Description
Past Perfect is a heart-warming tale of family, and how the past can sometimes help shape the present, from the world's bestselling author, Danielle Steel.
Sybil and Blake Gregory live a well-ordered, predictable Manhattan life - she as a cutting-edge design authority and museum consultant, he in high-tech investments - raising their teenagers Andrew and Caroline and six-year-old Charlie. But when Blake is offered a dream job as CEO of a start-up in San Francisco, he accepts it, without consulting his wife, and buys a magnificent, historic mansion as their new home in Pacific Heights.
Past and present collide at their elegant mansion, when they meet the large and lively family who lived there a century ago. All long dead but very much alive in spirit-visible to the Gregorys and no one else. Within these enchanted rooms, it is at once 1917 and a century later. Have the Gregorys been given a perfect gift; beloved friends, a chance to relive the past and the wisdom and grace to shape the future?
Customer Reviews
Not quite why I expected
I was intrigued by this book but was a little worried about the authors fore words regarding time travelling stories. Maybe I've been a fan of the 'outlander' stories for too long, however I did like the idea behind this book. What I didn't like was the way it was narrated like a school book report. They did this on that day, and she thought this, and the other thought that, just didn't gel me for some reason. Having said that, generally I liked the story. Not my best read ever but enjoyable all the same despite the way it was told. Whether you believe in time traveling, or whether you believe in ghosts will determine your enjoyment of this book. Good luck!
