A year they would never forget . . . Rose McCarthy is the legendary editor-in-chief at one of New York’s top magazines. Following the death of her husband, she and her four daughters have become even closer. All have successful careers: Athena is a TV chef, Venetia a fashion designer and Olivia a court judge, while Nadia, the youngest, is a talented interior designer living in Paris. Nadia considers her life perfect – married to bestselling novelist Nicolas Bateau, who adores her and their two daughters – until the tabloids leak a story of Nicolas’s affair with a dazzling young actress. Heartbroken and publicly humiliated, Nadia looks to her family for comfort and support as she attempts to put her life back on course. As mother and daughters spend more time together, they come to realize the things that matter most in life. Review: Fairytale de Luxe - Don't think about this story as reality. Don't think it's something that could happen to YOU. It probably will not, unless you happen to be French. It's a fairytale. A fairytale where anything and everything can happen - and does. Not only good things, but horrible, unhappy and sad. But you know what, I would rather read about all this misery when it happens in beautiful surroundings, to people with lots of money. People who own a chateau in Normandie, always go 1st class when they are flying, go for weekend trips to New York, LA, London, Rome, The South of France and stop over in Paris to shop at Chanel. In these fairytales the women are gorgeous and stylish. When flying they wear clean white jeans, t-shirt, white denim jacket and ballet flats. Out to dinner somewhere chic, they are stunning in simple black and pearls with just a hint of makeup, or no makeup at all since they don't need it (a bit irritating, but ok). I shall not tell you about either the misery or a happy ending. There are lots of both good and bad within this frame of neverending luxury. But it sure is a joy to read about satin, silk and Hermés sandals. One simply does not wear anything but designer in a book written by Danielle Steel, the Queen of Fairytales. I love it. Love her books. The luxury, the beauty, the houses in the Hamptons and the apartments in the 7th arrondissement or with a view to Central Park. I could tell you more but my housekeeper is off today and the sitter is near a nervous breakdown, so I have to end here. PS) Do buy the book. It's out of this world. "Pure love. Pure Steel." Review: Quick delivery and a great price - Delivered quickly. A good read. Typical Daniel Steel story. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 260,520 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 9,826 in Women Writers & Fiction 11,339 in Contemporary Fiction (Books) 13,309 in Contemporary Romance (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 13,414 Reviews | ## Images ![The Affair: A compulsive story of love, scandal and family from the billion-copy bestseller - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/710j80VlHGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fairytale de Luxe *by S***L on 17 March 2021* Don't think about this story as reality.

Typical Daniel Steel story. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Affair *by M***L on 24 April 2023* Another good book from DS. The title on the book says it all, and as I started reading I thought this is going to get boring if it is just about an affair. Well it is about an affair, but it was not boring and was a very good story to read and I would recommend it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/402664508-the-affair-a-compulsive-story-of-love-scandal-and-family](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/402664508-the-affair-a-compulsive-story-of-love-scandal-and-family) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-10-03*
