BOOK OF THE WEEK


In any betrayal, there is always a victim. And in this case, it is Tallie Jones, director and maker of fabulous movies who has been betrayed by her partner Hunter Lloyd and her best friend Brigitte Parker.
When she is allotted a 'victim number', and becomes a part of a 'faceless herd of people who had been foolish, naive or abused', Tallie's life hits rock bottom. This, in a nutshell, is the story of Betrayal, which is Danielle Steel's newest book.
The book is full of repetitions and the author says the same things over and over in a hundred different ways. Besides the two twists in the tale (the two betrayals), there is nothing else in the story to hold your attention.
