I felt that Antonia was such a well behaved child but my heart went out to her as no child deserves to be treated to feel unwanted as her mother makes abundantly clear. She has heard her parents fight and feels it is her fault. Antonia tries to stay small and hidden and feels it is safer for her to be invisible. He is a very successful business man and has made a fortune in developing successful companies. Brandon spends more and more time away from their apartment working to avoid fighting with his wife. Antonia made me feel so sorry for her because she often hid or disappeared because she felt like her mother flew into rages because she thought being a wife and mother was keeping her from becoming an actress. She is very narcissistic and soon Brandon feels like he made a mistake marrying her because she hates being a wife and mother to their daughter Antonia. His wife wants to be an actress and when she gets pregnant she is miserable because the baby is interfering with her dream. Brandon who is an American visiting Paris meets a dazzling young women who they get married. This was a heartbreaking novel from start to finish, but one that I enjoyed because not everything was wonderful and it had a more authentic feel. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Also, I will continue to read books written by Danielle Steel as she usually writes books I really enjoy. It was a nice book, and I don’t regret reading it. I enjoyed Antonia’s stepmother, Lara, who tried her best to get her and her father back together. I did like the film business background information in the story as well as her time at NYU film school. The story was good, but I never laughed out loud, or cried, or gasped, it was just a pleasant story that was just interesting enough to keep me turning the pages. ![]() But, others may not be as turned off by the relationship as I was. I understand that the author has a good reason for setting up Antonia and Hamish, as he’s a father figure for her, but it just didn’t sit right to me. I don’t like romances where there is such a huge age gap, especially when the woman is so young at the start of the relationship. The romance between Antonia and her mentor, Hamish, was just a bit off. I enjoyed Invisible, but it’s not one of my favorite Danielle Steel books.
