The Cottage [electronic resource] / Danielle Steel.

Steel, Danielle. (Author). Garrison, David Lee. (Added Author).

Summary:

In her fifty-fourth bestselling novel, Danielle Steel weaves a compelling story of fame and friendship, charmed lives and private struggles ... and of three very different men whose lives converge and collide at The Cottage. On a sunny day in Hollywood, a gleaming Rolls-Royce convertible pulls through the gates of the magnificent estate known as The Cottage Modeled after the "cottages" of Newport, Rhode Island, the spacious, elegant property, sitting on fourteen acres of lush Bel Air, fits its owner to a T. For the man behind the wheel of the Rolls is Hollywood's ageless wonder, Cooper Winslow. A star of the silver screen for decades, a man whose allure to women is the stuff of legend, Coop exudes grace, charm, and old-fashioned style. But today Coop Winslow is in for a major surprise. He's broke. And with no major roles coming his way, Coop is faced with the heartbreaking prospect of selling his beloved home of forty years, or at least renting out the gatehouse and part of the main house.

    Vast wealth amid the glitter and glamour of Hollywood sets the stage for Danielle Steel to interweave lives and romance in one of her best novels yet. Narrator David Garrison's masculine, melodious voice delivers an outstanding portrayal of Cooper Winslow, an impoverished, aging movie star. Garrison adds charisma and depth to each character, including the women, particularly the servant girl, Paloma. To sustain The Cottage, an elaborate mansion, Winslow takes on three tenants, who stretch the patience of each character. This well-done story will carry you all the way to the end, then make you wish for more. G.D.W. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine

    Aging movie star Cooper Winslow sees no reason to limit his lavish lifestyle, not even to accommodate his severely reduced income. When Coop's accountant insists he rent out portions of his huge estate, the new tenants provide much more than rent. David Garrison takes the predictable plot in hand, extracting maximum entertainment value from the text. His male characters spring to life, particularly the urbane, but kind Cooper Winslow. Females come through competently, though they're indistinguishable one from another. Tying the whole together is a narration of lively pace and clear, unstilted enunciation. Garrison treats the story as the escape novel it is. But what a fun way to escape! R.P.L. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine

    This "cottage" is actually the huge estate of fading movie star Cooper Winslow, who is so down on his luck that he must rent a part of it to make ends meet. But the two fellows who move in introduce Coop to something completely different friendship and of course in the offing there's the promise of love. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
