I have read most of Danielle Steels books, but I can say I really liked this one a lot ( )

Granny Dan by dnaielle Steel
This book is about the Russian ballerina who when she died at 90 after having been in a nursing home.
They had sent to her a box of the rest of her things=ballet shoes and other mementos. letters in Russian that she wasn't sure she'd have translated or kept as they were.
The story of Granny Dan starts out being born and at the age of 5 her mother died. She was sent to a ballet school which she would live and travel throughout the country when she was 14. A full member of the troupe.
Love how this story goes and we learn all about her as things change over time.
Very strong character to have accomplished what she did.
Love this story as it's short and to the point and love the places I was able to travel to and the exquisite descriptions of the dancing life and attire. ( )

A look back to the turn of the twentieth century told through the letters of a ninety year old following her death. Her granddaughter discovers the past life of an amazing woman, that she really never knew. ( )

A young lady finds out information about her grandmother (Granny Dan). After Granny dies, the woman receives a box of letters from the nursing home, revealing Granny Dan's secrets of the past. She was a russian ballet dancer who got sick and fell in love with her doctor.

A quick read. It makes you think about your own ancestors, and how little you really know about them and their past. ( )

This books pulled me in fast as does alot of Danielle Steels.
This is the story of a old woman that is told after her death at ninety, that her grand daughter find out after getting a box from the nursing home her Grandmother lived at the last year of her life.
In this box there is ballet shoes, a golden locket with a man's photo in it , a bundle of letter written in Russian after having the letters transcribed and talking to Granny Dan's oldest friends in Vermont , her grand daughter learns of the wonderful life that her grandmother never spoke of to her.
