A riveting novel about family, legacy and what you do for those you love set in the cut throat world of Italian fashion from the billion copy bestselling author, Danielle Steel. After her parents perish in a tragic accident, Cosima Saverio assumes leadership of her family's haute couture Italian leather brand. While navigating the challenges of running a company at twenty-three, Cosima must also maintain the elegant four-hundred-year-old family palazzo in Venice and care for her younger siblings: Allegra, who survived the tragedy that killed their parents, and Luca, who has a penchant for wild parties, pretty women, and poker tables. Cosima navigates her personal and professional challenges with a wisdom beyond her years, but her success has come at a cost: Her needs are always secondary. She's married to the business, and her free time is given to those who rely on her . . . until she meets Olivier Bayard, the founder of France's most successful ready-to-wear handbag company. But Luca's gambling habit gets out of control and Cosima is forced to make an impossible choice to save him. The palazzo, the family business or cut Luca loose. Or is there another way to rescue everything she has fought for before it goes up in flames?

I always look forward to reading Danielle Steel�s latest book. I have been reading them since I was twelve and they provide a nice break from reality. Palazzo by Danielle Steel sweeps readers to Italy where Cosima Saverio at the age of twenty-three takes over the family business as well managing her two younger siblings. I enjoyed the European setting. The descriptions of Rome and Venice were beautiful including the family palazzo. I could understand Cosima�s desire to keep it in the family. The vivid pictorials of France were equally compelling. I liked Cosima, Allegra (Cosima�s younger sister), and Olivier (Cosima�s love interest). They were friendly, likeable characters. Of course, there are two bad guys that cause all sorts of trouble for their relatives. Palazzo is an easy story to read. I quickly finished it in a couple of hours. It had a satisfying ending (which is expected from a Danielle Steel novel). I would have loved some of the handbags described in the book. I could understand why Saverio bags were so coveted (the workmanship sounded exquisite). Palazzo is a moving story with family drama, second chances, romance, and new beginnings.
