Official synopsis Publisher
The Numbers Game is a thoughtful story about three generations of women, by the world’s favorite storyteller, Danielle Steel.
Eileen Jackson is forty. Her marriage is on the rocks, and her self-esteem is at an all-time low. Her children are struggling to come to terms with their parents’ divorce and she knows she has to get her life back on track – fast. The realization of her talent and the opportunity to pursue a long-held ambition gives her the confidence to believe in herself and be the happiest she’s ever been.
Olivia Waters is twenty-seven. Beautiful, clever, successful, she is the woman who Eileen’s husband has fallen in love with. What she swiftly comes to understand is that while an affair is fun, she’s too young to take on the trappings and responsibilities of a father of three children – she has much to do in her life and she’s not prepared to sacrifice ambition just yet.
At ninety-two, Olivia’s grandmother, Gabrielle, is a talented and internationally successful sculptor. She’s enjoying life to the full, she’s experienced the highs and lows of youth and middle age and now she knows what she wants out of life and who she wants to be with.
Life is for living – at any age. It’s about taking opportunities, and knowing when to take them. Because sometimes you have to walk through the storm clouds to discover the sun.
