I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

Mirror Image was charming, immersive, character driven and repetitive, everything you can find in a typical Danielle Steel. This is a story about mirror twin girls in New York, focusing on the time after the Titanic sank and into the beginning of World War 1. As always, I love the historical aspects that Steel wraps into the story. This particular bit of history isn't one that's explored very often, so that was definitely appreciated and refreshing. The rest is rather predictable, but enjoyable nonetheless. You can discern every beat of the story from Toby's betrayal of Victoria to the twins ultimately switching places. Steel's repetition makes sure of that. Despite this, Mirror Image was a smooth read and I found myself turning the pages quite quickly. If you like Steel's style, you'll like this. If you don't, you probably won't.

I didn't think I like Danielle Steele books but this one surprised me.

Entertaining story with memorable characters.

Great piece.

Danielle is the best, the way she describes the twins and their behaviors, thei choice of clothing, and everything is so detailed and I can't believe that it's only imagination. The book is a piece of heaven and I haveread it three times, and still find new details about it and enjoy it as the first time.
