Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Olivia Thatcher is the young wife of a powerful U.S. senator, and Peter Haskell is the president of a pharmaceutical empire. When their paths cross serendipitously on the night of a bomb scare, they spill their hearts to each other--and both know their lives will never be the same.

From Publishers Weekly

The grand, operatic gesture dominates Steel's 36th novel, a tightly crafted, if utterly unsuspenseful, tale that pits honor against ambition in high places. Peter Haskell has it all: a beautiful wife, three great sons, a satisfying job as president of the world's leading pharmaceutical firm?and the formula for a new drug, Vicotec, that promises to revolutionize chemotherapy. Awaiting the results of a French specialist's final testing of Vicotec, Peter also has a hotel room at the Ritz in Paris, which puts him in proximity to fellow guest Olivia Thatcher, the wife of a Virginia senator whose eyes are set firmly on the White House. Peter's world begins to spin apart when he learns that Vicotec is not the miracle he hoped for but a potential killer. But of what importance is such a turn of events in the face of l'amour? This is Paris, after all, the perfect setting for Peter to approach Olivia one night; on the steps of Montmartre, the two realize that they are soul mates, and that their marriages are, in fact, empty. All too soon, however, the lovers must return to reality?Olivia, to her husband's offer of $1 million a year to stay by his side; Peter, to untold millions if he'll just fib a little bit about those test results; and so both must face their own, ultimate moral test. Steel leaves no cliche unturned in this garden of predictabilities, but the fauna is glitzy?Catherine Deneuve and Clint Eastwood make cameo appearances?the flora is bright and, in the end, all's well that end's well, which is, after all, the only way her fans would have it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very warm and touching story of hope and understanding!, January 27, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Five Days in Paris (Paperback)
After reading some of the reviews, I had a hard time believing that people could be so hard on this book. I read it in a few hours and it touched me to the point that I could not read another book for a few days. (I usually read a book in 2 or 3 days, and can pick up another book a few hours after I finish one and enjoy the new book) I thought it was hard to get into at first, but then I realized that it was Peter's personality, since he was really the main character. It could touch home to so many people who are trapped in a loveless or unhappy marriage. You just never know when or where you will find love, and what better place to find that perfect sole mate than while spending Five Days in Paris?

4.0 out of 5 stars I liked it, December 30, 2003
By Theresa W (mi, usa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Five Days in Paris (Paperback)
From my opinion Danielle Steel has had a hard time pulling off the shorter books, however, I did like this one. I thought it was a cute, fun story. Maybe I'm just a sappy romantic. If you're looking for more shorter stories by Steel, the others I liked were The Gift & Special Delivery.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Amazing novel, Five Days in Paris, October 7, 2002
By Stacy (Starford, Pa USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Five Days in Paris (Paperback)
The book, Five Days in Paris, by Danielle Steel was excellent. It was an incredible mixture of love and loss. Peter and Olivia fall in love in one of the most beautiful places in the world, Paris. When their time there is over and they have to go their separate ways, you can feel the sorrow. The emotion in the story is so real, it's like you are part of it. In this novel you realize how easily things are subject to change. Peter is happily married and so is Olivia, but in only five days their world are turned upside down. All they can think about is each other when they are apart. Love is a very strong tie, and once you have found it you cannot let it go.
