While there is a kinship among all Krantz novels in terms of plot and characters, Till We Meet Again shows most similarity to Princess Daisy (1979) and Mistral's Daughter (1982). Freddy's business success is reminiscent of Daisy Valensky's, and Delphine's relationship with her manipulative halfbrother Bruno approximates Daisy's relationship with Ram. In fact, Bruno strongly resembles Ram in the charm and physical attractiveness which initially conceal his ruthlessness and his need to control women, especially his sister. Likewise, the three generations of de Lancel women — Eve, her daughters Delphine and Freddy, and Freddy's daughter Annie — parallel Maggy, Teddy, and Fauve of Mistral's Daughter. Also present in both novels are the background issues of anti-Semitism, German occupation, and the French Resistance.
