My sister bought the German translation because she misses it while living in Europe. A hipster friend braved ridicule at Skylight books so she could buy her own copy (because of course I demanded mine back). I was finally able to wean my grandma off Lavyrle Spencer with this. Even so-called nonreaders who never venture further than Us Weekly. I have recommended Master of The Game to all kinds of readers and everyone has adored it. In fact, you might even read it more than once. A definite beach book, but not so trashy that you'd feel guilty reading it in public. You will definitely lose sleep when you obsessively stay up all night reading "just one more chapter." It's just addicting. You might throw your copy against a wall in frustration over a character's actions. Sidney Sheldon is a surprisingly talented writer, and the plot twists are many and dramatic. "How can you possibly rate this soap opera of a novel as highly as The Bell Jar?! You have lost all credibility now that you've included pseudo-romance novels on your goodreads list!"Īll I can say is, this book is the literary equivalent of crack. It will recruit a new generation of fans to his writing. This is one of his best-loved novels, a compulsively readable thriller, packed with suspense, intrigue and passion. Ghosts from an empire spawned by naked ambition! Sidney Sheldon is one of the most popular storytellers in the world. Ghosts from a life of blackmail and murder. And for Kate there are ghosts, ghosts of absent friends and of enemies. At the extravagent celebrations of her ninetieth birthday, there are toasts from a Supreme Court Judge and a telegram from the White House. Her conception was itself an act of hate-filled vengeance. Her mother was the daughter of a crooked Afrikaaner merchant. Her father was a diamond prospector who struck it rich beyond his wildest dreams. She is an enigma, a woman surrounded by a thousand unanswered questions.
Kate Blackwell is one of the richest and most powerful women in the world. One of Sidney Sheldon's most popular and bestselling titles, repackaged and reissued for a new generation of fans.
