Fiction. Literature. Romance. Historical Fiction. HTML:Against a vivid backdrop of history, Danielle Steel tells a compelling story of love and war, acts of faith and acts of betrayalâ?¦and of three generations of women as they journey though years of loss and survival, linked by an indomitable devotion that echoes across time.

For the Wittgenstein family, the summer of 1915 was a time of both prosperity and unease, as the guns of war sound in the distance. But for eldest daughter Beata, it was also a summer of awakening. By the glimmering waters of Lake Geneva, the quiet Jewish beauty met a young French officer and fell in love. Knowing that her parents would never accept her marriage to a Catholic, Beata followed her heart anyway. And as the two built a new life together, Beataâ??s past would stay with her in ways she could never have predicted. For as the years pass, and Europe is once again engulfed in war, Beata must watch in horror as Hitlerâ??s terror threatens her life and familyâ??even her eighteen-year-old daughter Amadea, who has taken on the vows of a Carmelite nun.

For Amadea, the convent is no refuge. As family and friends are swept away without a trace, Amadea is forced into hiding. Thus begins a harrowing journey of survival, as she escapes into the heart of the French Resistance. Here Amadea will find a renewed sense of purpose, taking on the most daring missions behind enemy lines. And it is here, in the darkest moments of fear, that Amadea will feel her motherâ??s loving strengthâ??and that of her motherâ??s mother before herâ??as the voices of lost loved ones echo powerfully in her heart. And here, amid the fires of war, Amadea will meet an extraordinary man, British secret agent Rupert Montgomery. In Colonel Montgomery, Amadea finds a man who will help her discover her place in an unbreakable chain between generationsâ?¦and between her lost family and her dreams for the futureâ??a future she is only just beginning to imagine: a future of hope rooted in the rich soil of the past.

With the grace of a master storyteller, Danielle Steel breathes life into history, creating a bold, sweeping tale filled with unforgettable characters and breathtaking imagesâ??from the elegant rituals of Europeâ??s prewar aristocracy to the brutal desperation of Germanyâ??s death camps. Drawing us into a vanished world, Echoes weaves an intricate tapestry of a motherâ??s love, a daughterâ??s courageâ?¦and the unwavering faith that su

Steel describes the lives of three brave women in the backdrop of history. I would have to say Amadea is the main character in this powerful novel. Beata, the daughter and mother experiences a situation somewhat similar to what she herself put her parents through. It was an echo of the past; and that is what the book is all about. Every generation experiencing situations which though different have a de ja vue quality about them. ( )

I was somewhere with this book as the only one to read. Good book but again, not my type ( )
  labelleaurore | Mar 5, 2008 |
This book has realistic characters and gives a good understanding of what it may have been like living under the Nazi regime. Left me feeling unsatisfied as you don't find out what happens to the main characters but its nothing like what it must have been like for people living through this period in history. ( )

Boekbeschrijving
In de zomer van 1915 wordt de joodse Beata Wittgenstein dolverliefd op een jonge Franse officier. Hoopvol zien ze samen de toekomst tegemoet.

Wanneer vele jaren later de Tweede Wereldoorlog zich aandient, moeten Beata en haar familie vrezen voor hun leven. Een aangrijpende strijd om te overleven begint.

Beata's achttienjarige dochter Amadea ontsnapt, sluit zich aan bij het Franse verzet en waagt haar leven achter de vijandelijke linies. Juist op die momenten van angst en gevaar weerklinken de stemmen uit het verleden en voelt Amadea de kracht en de liefde van haar moeder, en haar moeders moeder, het sterkst.
