Property of a Noblewoman

By: Danielle Steel

Narrated by: Dan John Miller

In Danielle Steel's thrilling novel, a woman's legacy - shaped by tragedy, fortitude, and undying devotion - transforms lives and hearts long after she is gone, and fulfills at last her most precious bequest.

Faded photographs of a glamorous couple in postwar Europe. Old letters hinting of tragic loss. And a breathtaking array of magnificent jewelry, spectacular stones in exquisite settings. These are the contents of a safe-deposit box long abandoned in a New York City bank. If no heir can be identified, the jewelry will be auctioned. But who was the woman who left such a fortune and no will?

Two people, drawn together by chance, begin to unravel the mystery. Jane Willoughby is a law clerk at the surrogate's court and Phillip Lawton a fine arts expert for Christie's auction house. They are simply doing their jobs when they come to the bank to inspect the contents of the box. But for both Jane and Phillip the search turns personal - and their efforts to reconstruct an enigmatic life will lead from New York to London and Paris, to Rome and Naples, and a series of stunning revelations.

Eighteen-year-old Marguerite Pearson left America with a broken heart in the shadow of World War II. She found a new life in Europe but forever mourned what she left behind. As the truth about Marguerite's extraordinary history - her forbidden love affair and her family's treachery - is slowly revealed, more people are drawn into the puzzle that Jane and Phillip have pieced together, and one among them will inherit the most unexpected gift of all.

Like only Steele Can...

Listening to a Dannielle Steel book is like listen to your favorite piece of classical music...the words always eloquently follow from chapter to chapter with grace and poise. It always amazes me how She can turn the lives of those whom live in comfort into simplicity that we all can appreciate and enjoy!

read more like a high school written short story, ok to pass the time

Loved the storyline

Liked the easy read/listening. Very pleasant voice, easy to catch up even if you had to stop listening for a while. Was eager to hear how the story ends

no headline

long read hard to stay tuned in, her usual style. not enough suspense, kind of a too many words for discriptions.

A balanced read.

Story was upbeat and remained true to life. Narration was excellent, as is normally the case with Dan John Miller. The story had enough twists and turns to hold reader interest. One of Danielle's better stories. Maybe a sequel?

Needs a sequel.....

Good story though a bit predictable - there were certainly some surprises and quite a few viable stories going on. I didn't feel the book should have been finished. I liked it and certainly it held my attention.

very good story

Loved it as always Danielle Steele gave a great story. I always love her books

My favorite must read

This exceeded my expectations! A very poignant story which ironically related to a Stuart Woods and Mary Higgins Clark books I just finished prior to reading this.

Great Book

This is a great book, couldn't put it down. Have always enjoyed all of Her books. Very interesting story and just keeps getting better throughout the book.
