Description
A passionate story rich with international characters, spanning three decades as it tells the tale
of a rich and powerful couple.
Edouard’s story begins in London in 1940. At fourteen, he’s the son of a baron and second in
line to a dazzling jewelry dynasty.
Hélène’s story begins in Alabama in 1950. An only child, she lives with her mother in a trailer
park and dreams of escaping her hardscrabble life.
Their paths cross in France, and a brief, passionate affair follows. They are separated by fate,
and that seems to be the end. But Edouard cannot devote his life to business . . . not before
finding Hélène again.
Destiny is Sally Beauman’s masterpiece about a man and a woman and their once-in-a-lifetime
love.

Amy: "The power you have when you're different. When people can't place you, sum you up..."
"We ARE our past, after all. Everything we've done, everything that has happened to us - that's
what we are."
Arah-Leah Hay: 3.5 Stars
The great thing about this book, is that you can easily get lost in the story, the characters. I find
that almost mandatory when reading a novel this size. It is a sweeping love story spanning
decades between the past and present lives of Edouard de Chavigny and Helene Craig. If I
would liken it to anything I immediately think of Gone With The Wind. In scope and the passing
of time and events lived through two characters who are meant to be together but obviously
circumstance prevent. This is not a cheap thrills kind of romance either. It is richly layered and
Beauman delivers beautifully flowing narrative. It was actually my love of "Dark Angel" that
brought me back to her work. That being said, I did have a few issues. One, though I found the
story intriguing, I did find she had me flipping through the pages of their past in high anticipation
of when they would actually get together, and then once finally there I found she just skimmed
over. Second, this book does have a twist nearing the end that could have been quite shocking
if I hadn't seen it coming from very early on.
Samantha: started out quite well, but felt in the direction of the tip the writer rushed via to finish,
leaving me feeling a bit enable down. probably simply because I already knew the finishing i
used to be anticipating the writer to do extra with that info or in comparison to 'Dark Angel' i
used to be awaiting too much. However, that being said, it is a sturdy easy-to-get-into
publication to learn on-the-go (i.e plane/train).
Sue: learn it 30 years in the past so particular evaluation no possible. However, i loved it rather
a lot then that i have by no means thrown it away! On my re-read checklist
Manuela: E' in line with me difficilissimo scrivere una recensione, perché ho ancora le lacrime
agli occhi, che non riesco a much smettere di scendere… Prima di tutto un grazie infinito a Jamy
according to avermelo consigliato: mi hai fatto un dono preziosissimo. Un romanzo che non
vorresti mai terminare, nonostante le oltre seven-hundred pagine, che non pesano in nessun
modo. Lo stile è molto somigliante a quello di Judith Krantz, ma credo che l. a. Beauman
l’abbia superata in line with intensità e completezza. Un romanzo duro, esplicito, con scene
forti, descritte senza mezzi termini e con uno sguardo altamente realistico. Commovente e
coinvolgente l’infanzia dei due protagonisti, tratteggiata parallelamente e che già unisce
inevitabilmente i destini di Helene ed Edouard. Le emozioni salgono oltre ogni limite quando l.
a. Beauman ci narra questo loro amore così profondo, completo, quasi inspiegabile con
semplici parole, affrontato da Helene ed Edouard in maniera differente, ma complementare; non
si può non provare rispetto ed emozione in keeping with l. a. commovente attesa di Edouard,
che eleva il suo amore oltre ogni limite. Penso che l. a. scena del loro ricongiungimento dopo
anni mi rimarrà nella memoria consistent with molto tempo: una delle scene d’amore più potenti
e commoventi che mi sia mai capitato di leggere. Il finale è ciò che lo rende unico: sono
convinta che Edouard abbia fatto l. a. cosa giusta. according to Helene sarebbe stato troppo
doloroso sapere. Ma il mio cuore ha pianto in keeping with loro, perché al destino non si può
sfuggire.
