Samenvatting:

A heart-warming story of two very different families, by the world's favourite storyteller, Danielle Steel

Present. Past. Spellbound. Sybil and Blake Gregory live a well-ordered, predictable Manhattan life – she as a cutting-edge design authority and museum consultant, he in high-tech investments – while raising their teenagers Andrew and Caroline, and six-year-old Charlie. But when Blake is offered a dream job as CEO of a start-up in San Francisco, he accepts it without consulting his wife, and buys a magnificent, historic mansion in Pacific Heights as their new home. Past and present collide at their elegant mansion when they meet the large and lively family who lived there a century ago. All long dead, but very much alive in spirit – visible to the Gregorys and no one else. Within these enchanted rooms, it is both 1917 and a century later. Have they been given a perfect gift: beloved friends, a chance to relive the past, and the wisdom and grace to shape the future? @daniellesteel #PureHeartPureSteel Danielle Steel has been hailed as one of the world’s most popular authors, with nearly a billion copies of her novels sold.

Past Perfect is a spellbinding story of two families living a hundred years apart who open the door to an unimaginable friendship . . .

Sybil and Blake Gregory live a well-ordered, predictable Manhattan life — she as a cutting-edge design authority and museum consultant, he in high-tech investments — raising their teenagers Andrew and Caroline and six-year-old Charlie. But when Blake is offered a dream job as CEO of a start-up in San Francisco, he accepts it, without consulting his wife, and buys a magnificent, historic mansion as their new home in Pacific Heights.

Past and present collide at their elegant mansion, when they meet the large and lively family who lived there a century ago. All long dead but very much alive in spirit—visible to the Gregorys and no one else. Within these enchanted rooms, it is at once 1917 and a century later. Have the Gregorys been given a perfect gift; beloved friends, a chance to relive the past and the wisdom and grace to shape the future?
