I am a Danielle Steel fan but this one fell flat for me
_bobatea_'s review against another edition
It was bland😓
I liked it, I think I just need to be in a different head space when reading this book.

I needed a mindless read. I had it already because I downloaded it in a large archive. Didn't realize that it would be SUCH A TEARJERKER. My first Danielle Steel novel too. It was ok, I skipped some of the overly descriptive parts.

A Casa da Rua da Esperança é uma história sobre aprender a viver de novo, depois de se pensar que a vida acabou. É sobre o prazer dos pequenos milagres e a fé nos grandes. É um livro de esperança.
Leitura leve repleto dos ingredientes básicos: crise, romance, separação e reconciliação. Tive esperança que este livro me surpreende-se mas acabou por ser uma repetição de outro da mesma autora - [b:Um Amor Imenso|7718720|Um Amor Imenso|Danielle Steel|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1265848944l/7718720._SY75_.jpg|2324899].
* temos uma tragédia numa data memorável logo ao início em que a personagem feminina principal acaba a tomar conta de uma família numerosa sozinha;
* um desastre a meio do livro que leva à morte/quase morte de uma das crianças;
* outro infortúnio com outra das crianças;
* acaba em suspenso deixando-nos a imaginar que viveram felizes para sempre.
