But when she returns to the Hall for Christmas she has no recollection of her past association with it – the result of a tragic accident that has blanked out more than two decades of her life. Then, during a walk through the wintry landscape, she stumbles across a grave in the woods and the weathered inscription on the headstone tells her that a little boy is buried here.

Summary
The Seven Sisters is a sweeping epic tale of love and loss by the international number one best-selling author Lucinda Riley.
Maia D’Aplièse and her five sisters gather together at their childhood home - a fabulous, secluded castle situated on the shores of Lake Geneva - having 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.

Turgid and interminable
I cannot believe I got as far with this as I did before giving up nearly half way through. I thought it would make a change as something light and escapist but it was really tedious. The narrator iis irritating and loses the sense of some sentences and mispronounces some words.

bad
On the surface it's an easy going airport read. However underneath, there's wierd and problematic Christian moralising and a lack of empathy. The author seems to think a woman should be defined by the man in her life and should be submissive towards him, and that a husband who rapes his wife is 'not a bad man'. The way an autistic teenager (who is failed by her parents and school and becomes addicted to drugs) is described and condemned is just plain offensive.

I was recommended that this series of books were a great read and I was not disappointed. it's not my usual choice, I like murder mysteries, but this book held my attention and I look forward to the next book. Tuppence Middleton is a great reader and captured the voices and accents brilliantly- no mean feat!

One half very well written, the other half not.
This story goes back and forth between past and present. Nothing is wrong with that---but---the "present" was extremely dragged out in many parts, with endless empty chatter and over-descriptions of unimportant things. I was thinking of speeding by it but didn't--just said to myself: okay, okay, I get it it, please go on. It's like having to listen to someone talk on and on and you zone out because they are talking too much about boring things. Character development in the "present" was not good until towards the end of the "present".
However, the "past" was beautifully written, each word meaning something, and it was heartfelt. The characters were developed vividly. It's almost as if another author wrote the "past", or it was rewritten in a much better way.
Also, so many authors finish off their characters by making them die off. I wish less effort was spent on idle descriptions and endless chatter, and more put into satisfying resolutions. A lot of effort was misplaced in this book, but, I will read Book 2. I hope it is better throughout.
The narrator was great, except the male voices sounded a bit cartoonish. Her French accent was very pretty.
