Jeanne's Reviews > The Ball at Versailles

The first 1/3 of this book painstakingly provided biographies of 4 young ladies who would be attending the Ball at Versailles. Much of the info was repeated and repeated, a writing trait of Ms Steel (and she must not use an editor to tighten it up). Once the story started to build, and additional characters were introduced, it was hard to remember which were the 4 ladies. The story built nicely, and provided happy endings (another feature of Danielle Steel's stories), which increased the rating. 5 out of 10.
