Fiction. Literature. Romance. HTML:NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER â?¢ Danielle Steel tells the uplifting story of an ordinary woman embracing an extraordinary adventure, and the daring choice that transforms her world.
Winona Farmington once dreamed of graduating from college, moving to New York City, and pursuing a career in publishing. Then real life got in the way when she left college and returned to her small Michigan hometown to care for her sick mother.
Years later, stuck in a dead-end job and an unsatisfying relationship, Winnie has concluded that dreams were meant for others. She consoles herself with binge-watching the British television series that she loves, Beauchamp Hall, enthralled by the sumptuous period drama set on a great Norfolk estate in the 1920s. The rich upstairs-downstairs world brilliantly brought to life by superb actors is the ultimate in escapism.   
On the day Winnie is passed over for a long-overdue promotion, she is also betrayed by her boyfriend and her best friend. Heartbroken, she makes the first impulsive decision of her conventional lifeâ??which changes everything.

She packs her bags and flies to England to see the town where Beauchamp Hall is filmed. The quaint B & B where she stays feels like home. The brother and sister who live in the castle where the show is filmed, rich in titles but poor in cash, are more like long-lost friends than British nobility. And the show itself, with its colorful company and behind-the-scenes affairs, is a drama all its own. Winnieâ??s world comes alive on the set of the show.
What happens next is the stuff of dreams, as Winnie takes the boldest leap of all.  Beauchamp Hall reminds us to follow our dreams. . . . You never know what magic will

Una lettura piacevole, per una storia ben struttura ma che, però, si perde del tutto nella parte finale.
La vicenda si svolge coerentemente seguendo una progressione logica fino alla conclusione dove, invece, tutto accade inspiegabilmente in un momento. Del resto, considerato il carattere dei due personaggi coinvolti, mi domando con quale logica si possa passare direttamente da una forte recente amicizia a una improvvisa e pubblica proposta di matrimonio senza che prima si rintracci nel libro alcun tipo di avvisaglia o spiegazione.
In sostanza una storia scritta benissimo sino al finale che sembra invece essere stato lasciato in mano ad un’altra persona che non aveva la più pallida idea di cosa fosse successo sino ad allora. Peccato! ( )

"Beauchamp Hall" by Danielle Steel definitely had its good points. The plot was original and enjoyable. The characters were "hit and miss". At times, the main character, Winona (Winnie) and R0b (her boyfriend at the beginning of the novel) were annoying. I liked the strength and kindness of "Your Ladyship" Beatrice.
The ending felt a bit rushed and unbelievable. Perhaps, if more time had been spent on Winnie and Freddie's relationship, it wouldn't have appeared so "cheesy".
I was also not a fan of the explicate scenes between Winnie and Rob at the beginning of the novel (just my opinion). I know that this is a romance novel. However, the plot could have been just as amazing without these scenes. ( )

I haven't read Danielle Steel for a long time but noticed I had 5 of her books on my TBR shelf. She was one of the first authors I started reading in my early 20's and would read everything she wrote. This book I randomly picked from the shelf and devoured it. Perfect time to read something light and uplifting in a crazed world right now. ( )

Got this at an airport because of connecting flights with no on flight entertainment. It hit the spot! It is basically Downton Abbey fanfiction and I am here for it! ( )
