""Annabelle Wirthington, de diecinueve años, nació rodeada de los privilegios y el glamour de la alta sociedad neoyorquina en una gran casa de la Quinta Avenida. Sin embargo, un día grisáceo de abril de 1912 todo cambió: el Titanic se hundió y su mundo también. Para olvidarse de sus tristezas, Annabelle se entrega a obras caritativas y a cuidar a los pobres y aquí se despierta su pasión por la medicina. Cuando su primer amor y lo que promete ser un matrimonio idílico también se convierten en cenizas, Annabelle se ve obligada a huir a Francia, un país en guerra donde tal vez podrá por no dedicarse a su verdadera vocación: estudiar medicina, ayudar a los heridos y salvar vidas en la primera línea de batalla. Cuando termina la guerra, Annabelle comienza una nueva vida en París. Ahora es doctora y madre y su pasado en Nueva York queda lejos y casi olvidado hasta que un día un encuentro casual la enfrenta con todo lo que dejó atrás."--P. [4] of cover."
"Nineteen-year-old Annabelle Worthington was born into a life of privilege, raised amid the glamour of New York society, with glorious homes on Fifth Avenue and in Newport, Rhode Island. But everything changed on a cold April day in 1912, when the sinking of the Titanic shattered her family and her privileged world forever. When she is betrayed, and pursued by a scandal she does not deserve, Annabelle flees New York for war-ravaged France, hoping to lose herself in a life of service. There, in the heart of the First World War, in a groundbreaking field hospital run by women she finds her true calling. And when the war ends, Annabelle begins a new life in Paris--now a doctor, a mother, her past almost forgotten ... until a fateful meeting opens her heart to the world she had left behind and she returns to New York one more time."

"Nineteen-year-old Annabelle Worthington, the only daughter of a wealthy New York banker, weathers a life of unexpected catastrophe with superhuman patience in Steel's solid latest. After her father and brother die in the sinking of the Titanic, Annabelle and her mother go into mourning, and Annabelle marries the kindly older banker Josiah Millbank. After two years of unconsummated marriage, he reveals that he's contracted syphilis and wants a divorce so he can join his male lover. When Annabelle refuses to divorce him, Josiah files for it on the basis of adultery, forcing Annabelle, now the victim of vicious rumors, to flee New York. Alone in Paris, she draws on her experience volunteering at Ellis Island to pursue a career as a doctor as WWI looms. Steel toys with the premise of a modern woman, though the characterization of Annabelle as a good woman who has been dragged through the mud somewhat mitigates her strength and elemental stubbornness. Steel's fans will eat this up₂Annabelle is one of the better protagonists Steel's conjured recently. (Oct.) Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
