The Promise | Litsy

#TuneIntoNovember #Promises My thoughts for this prompt went immediately to The Promise-be still my teenage heart!💓I read it a bunch of times (I had the battered yellow copy in the corner) & saw the movie A LOT-renting the VHS or watching it when it played on TV. I never realized until looking for pics-that the movie came first & Steel novelized it. Such good soapy, Kleenex-needed entertainment & maybe a rite of passage in the late 70s-80s.😍😢😘

emilyesears Oh man nostalgia!! I read soooo many DS books in middle school...probably was not a good age-appropriate choice. My favorite from back then was definitely Mirror Image. Twin sisters switching places! One being a nurse in France! One pretending to be the wife of her sister's husband who she's been in love with forever!! The sheer incredulity of that plot! Haha, I should get it from the library and read it again.

Mirror Image

Reecaspieces @Bambolina_81 oh that was an excellent one as well!! And so was

The Promise: A Novel | Danielle Steel

In 1981 (at the age of 15) my parents took us from sunny Qld to the UK for three years. We went on a caravan holiday to Bournemouth and I bought The Promise to read on the beach. This is me in the pink skirt and warm jumper, reading it behind the very necessary windbreaker. Over the years I collected lots more DS books but in the end I only kept this one.
