Summary

A sweeping tale of love and loss, the epic saga of the Seven Sisters begins here. From Lucinda Riley, the international number one bestselling author.

Read by Tuppence Middleton (Thirty Days in Paris, The Doll Factory).

Maia D’Aplièse, in her early thirties, gathers together with her five sisters at their childhood home: a fabulous, secluded castle situated on the shores of Lake Geneva. They have been told that their beloved adoptive father, the elusive billionaire they call Pa Salt, has died.

Each of them is handed a tantalising clue to their true heritage – a clue which takes Maia across the world to a crumbling mansion in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil . . .

Eighty years earlier, in the Belle Époque of Rio, 1927, Izabela Bonifacio’s father has aspirations for his daughter to marry into aristocracy. But Izabela longs for adventure, and convinces him to allow her to accompany the family of a renowned architect on a trip to Paris. In the heady, vibrant streets of Montparnasse, she meets ambitious young sculptor Laurent Brouilly, and knows at once that her life will never be the same again.

The Seven Sisters is the first book in the spellbinding Seven Sisters series, inspired by the mythology of the famous star constellation. It is followed by The Storm Sister.

a real time consumer, but with a difference. Made all household chores vanish, a long car journey wasn't long enough! you get the picture, sheer indulgence of fiction - and I loved it

Intriguing

The story had several interesting twists keeping me captivated. A partial psychological drama about finding oneself as an adopted child. The why’s about self value being left for adoption and trust issues concerning letting oneself love another.
There were moments of being a Sherlock Holm with secrets interwoven throughout the story.
Fatherly love and elderly regrets.
The narrator did an amazing job.

Such a great book to listen to

This was such a lovely listen! The story was so wholesome and beautiful. I could image everything as if I was watching it play out. If you want a good love story with family ties and history, this is a great book for you. And the narrator did an excellent job playing different roles !!

Lucinda Riley does it again!

Beautifully written book. Complexity of narrative and characters that come to life, keep you invested to the end. Loved it!

Swept along

Not my usual genre ( I like a good murder!) but bought on the recommendation of many friends. I loved it. Perfect escapism. I found myself making excuses to listen to more. Downside? I am now hooked and will have to invest in the rest of the series!
