### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Another great book!
  

*by M***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 19, 2019*

The Duchess is a story within a time in history that I enjoy watching and reading about.  The reality of those times is well done.  The laws in Great Britten which did not recognize daughters as heirs, the estates and fortunes were passed from father to eldest son.  This unfair truism is well written in "The Duchess".  Ms. Steel draws you in and creates a story that tells many truths of that period in time.  Sure, some parts may seem unrealistic, but that is what makes her books so much fun to read!  The novel stays true to what was going on during the early 1900's in Great Britten, regardless of what twists and turns our heroine goes through, some might say a bit "out of touch" with reality, I believe that none of us knows what one would do if you reached what seemed like the end of the road!This is a great and enjoyable read!  She brings all the characters alive as if you can "see" them!  I enjoy her LARGE print books and I am glad this was one of them.  Get the book and enjoy the ride!

    Requires too much suspension of disbelief to be enjoyable...
  

*by A***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 23, 2018*

I used to love Danielle Steel. It was always a great escape. I understand it's fiction, but did anyone even do any cursory research for this book? First of all, an entail doesn't mean daughters can't be left anything, ever. It was very common to will annuities and/or dowries to ensure their continued support. Even if for some reason that couldn't happen in this situation, the 25,000 pounds she received on the sly would have more than modestly supported her for the rest of her life. It also would have made her very marriageable, knowing she had that sum of money. The Dashwoods in Sense and Sensibility were in a similar situation and had to support four women on the interest of much less capital! So the initial premise is just very bad. Additionally, the father could have stipulated in the will a life estate for one of the estate's houses for the daughter, just as he did for the younger son.In England there aren't that many dukes. A beautiful daughter of one just disappearing after his death would be noticed. The whole idea of her having to go work as a nanny is just insane. So she can "save" her money? Ridiculous. As is the whole setup in Paris. I'm not even going to touch that one.Finally, it's hard to mortgage an entailed estate, it's like having a trust. And she couldn't have truly purchased it, if it was really entailed so tightly as implied in the beginning. She could have only purchased the right to live there while her brother lived. Which would work out, since her son would eventually inherit. And that's the only part that is semi-accurate. An entail that would pass to the male children of a daughter was far more common than the type of entail that the Bennett family had, where it would pass to a distant cousin instead.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    The Duchess is a Regal Read
  

*by B***M on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 15, 2017*

I can't remember when I've enjoyed a book as much.  This is one of Danielle Steele's best ones yet.It gives us a glimpse of the plight of women in England back in the  1800's.  The heroine is resourceful and clever without being conniving or mean spirited.  She shows us what a true lady really is. The other characters are colorful and well drawn even if you learn to hate many of them.The unexpected twists and turns make it almost impossible to put this book down and the Scarlett O'Hara ending makes you cheer and yellYou Go Girl !!!!This is the one you can't miss reading.  Put all the others aside and grab this one as fast as you can.
