Escape with this epic tale of love and loss from the internationally beloved author
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.

Likar veldig godt dei gode beskrivelsane om lokasjonane. Det er noko av det viktigste for å gjere ei bok god. Eg likar godt opplesaren si stemme (og skuespelar-evner on-screen), men syns det var ganske forferdelig å høyre når ho la stemme til karakterane. 😳 Forferdelige aksentar. Ein av karakterane høyres ut som han skal vere 98 år, ikkje 48 som det står i boka. Syns det er veldig synd, sidan ho har ei veldig god opplesarstemme.

Absolutely marvelous! Love this book. I just saw now that BookBeat doesn’t have all 7 Books. I do hope it will change by the time I finish the 4th one. Please please please BookBeat. Definitely one of my favorite series.

Did not like the reader's version of a french accent that appeared on two characters. Others "spoke" normally without a slur Even if they were supposedly speaking French.. weird.. Otherwise the book was great If you love romance and historic novels

Lite platt och könsstereotypisk men underhållande och lättlyssnad feelgood. Bra för mig som är ovan att läsa på engelska, tydligt uttal och bra uppläsare. Jag fastnade ändå efter 20% in.
