The Storm Sister
Description of book
The spellbinding series continues. Following the bestselling The Seven Sisters, The Storm Sister is the second book in Lucinda Riley's epic saga of love and loss, inspired by the mythology of the Seven Sisters constellation.
Read by Hattie Morahan (The Burning Chambers, Girl with a Pearl Earring)
Ally D'Aplièse, in her early thirties, is about to compete in one of the world's most perilous yacht races when she hears the news of her adoptive father's sudden, mysterious death. Rushing back to meet her five sisters at their family home, she discovers that her father – an elusive billionaire affectionately known to his daughters as Pa Salt – has left each of them a tantalizing clue to their true heritage.
Ally recently embarked on a deeply passionate love affair that will change her destiny forever. But with her life now turned upside down, Ally decides to leave the open seas and follow the trail that her father left her, leading to the icy beauty of Norway . . .
There, Ally begins to discover her roots – and how her story is inextricably bound to that of a young unknown singer, Anna Landvik, who lived there over a hundred years before, and sang in the first performance of Grieg's iconic music set to Ibsen's play 'Peer Gynt'. As Ally learns more about Anna, she also begins to question who her father, Pa Salt, really was. And she begins to wonder: why is their seventh sister missing?
The epic, multi-million selling series continues with The Shadow Sister.

Lovely book, both for longing for the beauty of Norway, crying for all those lost souls and dreaming about the late world of music in the 19th centuryI recommend

Entertaining but a little predictable at times. I mostly enjoy the historical aspects of the seven sisters books and that didn’t disappoint. Great narrationFor the book club

- Forfatteren er flink til å skape historier, og har gjort gode historiske undersøkelser i forbindelse med bokskrivingen. Det er nok først og fremst det som gjør henne til en populær forfatter.

Når det gjelder karakterene er disse altfor perfekte for min smak. Spesielt likte jeg ikke Theo, og jeg skjønner ikke romantiseringen av hans karakter.
Forfatteren dveler litt for lenge ved enkelte deler, mens andre deler gjerne kunne vært utdypet mer. Noen av dialogene er unødvendig lange og repeterende, slik at boken blir kjedelig.
Jeg likte den første boken mye bedre, og ble derfor skuffet over denne.
Innleseren leser tydelig og med engasjement, men norsk-uttalen ødela mye. Jeg har også hørt deler av boken på norsk, og der er problemet det samme, men motsatt; at engelsk-uttalen ødelegger for opplevelsen til den som lytter. Det beste er nok å lese disse bøkene selv.Book★2

- Ich liebe die seven sisters Reihe! Die Geschichten, die Sprecherinnen und die Zusammenhänge. Schade, dass es nicht alle Bücher zum hören gibt. Werde mir daher die anderen Teile kaufen.
