The Seven Sisters
Escape with this epic tale of love and loss from the internationally beloved author
Description of book
The Seven Sisters is the story that began it all. An epic tale of love and loss, it tells the stories of the D’Aplièse sisters, all adopted as babies by the enigmatic billionaire they affectionately call Pa Salt.
Read by Tuppence Middleton (Thirty Days in Paris, The Doll Factory).
This is Maia’s story. When Pa Salt dies suddenly, the bereaved sisters gather together at their childhood home, a spectacular secluded castle on the shores of Lake Geneva. Each of them is handed a tantalising clue to their heritage and Maia finds herself on a journey across the world to a crumbling mansion in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Eighty years earlier, Izabela Bonifacio’s father has aspirations for her to marry into the aristocracy. But Izabela longs for adventure, and convinces him to allow her to first travel to Paris. In the heady, vibrant streets of the city, Izabela meets an ambitious young sculptor, and knows at once that her life will never be the same again.
What links these two young women? In the beautiful city of Rio, will Maia find the answers she needs to understand who she truly is?
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.

Lyssnade äntligen på den här boken och wow den var så bra! Jag är 21 år och trodde att jag skulle tyckte boken var lite tråkig, men den var så gripande och fin. Älskade hon som läste upp boken.A must-read

Har läst den på svenska tidigare och tycker verkligen om serien. Tyvärr förstör uppläsningen en hel del, tex att Gustavo läses upp som en gammal kvinna…?I recommend

I dived into this series because one of my closest friends loves it. The journey of the seven sisters starts after their adoptive father dies. Maia's is the eldest and the first sister we follow. I must admit that the book had me quite torn. While I loved Maia's journey and enjoyed her parts, I found the other MC's arc far too predictable. I will keep diving into this series even though I am not sure I will like every sister.For the book club
Additionally, I did not like the narrator. The way she spoke some of the characters made me instantly dislike them. Which is why I am glad that every sister will have her own narrator.Book★3

- Likar veldig godt dei gode beskrivelsane om lokasjonane. Det er noko av det viktigste for å gjere ei bok god.
Annie Sætre
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.Book★5
