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.

Good Company

I really enjoyed the book and it has been great company in the car and on walks. I especially liked the performance and in particular the creepy voice given to Gustavo who make my skin crawl !

I absolutely loved it

What a beautifully written and narrated story but it leaves you on a cliff hanger- can’t wait to start the next in the series.

I’m hooked already..

A friend of mine recommended this series of books to me… I’m so glad she did!
I’ve never before been so animated whilst listening to a series of books!!
Book 2 is the only book I couldn’t completely immerse myself into, but that by no way means I didn’t enjoy it thoroughly.
As I write this review I’m just about to finish book 4.. “The pearl sister”.
Usually I read crime fiction, but these novels are truly wonderful.
I will be listening/reading each and every one.
