About this deal

Its history turns out to be closely intertwined with the history of the country at the beginning of the last century, with the coffee economic boom and the monstrous crisis of overproduction that coincided with the beginning of the Great Depression. The action of the first novel of the epic "Seven Sisters" begins at that rare moment when a stay-at-home Maya visits a school friend in London.

THE PLOT: ‘The Seven Sisters’ by Lucinda Riley is historical women’s fiction about the adopted daughters of a mysterious millionaire. And I wanted to celebrate the achievements of women, especially in the past, where so often, their contribution to making our world the place it is today has been overshadowed by the more frequently documented achievements of men.The emotional pull in this book is quite strong, and since the story unfolds from Maia's POV, who happens to be an deeply emotional human being. RATING: This is a fun, accessible novel that is perfect for lovers of historical fiction that skews more commercial. at least but my more jaded less impressed self says, I liked it, but I'm not going to follow the series. In fact, it felt a bit like this one was more of an effort to keep a financially lucrative series viable for yet another book.

In this sweeping, epic tale of love and loss—the first in a unique, spellbinding series of seven novels—Lucinda Riley showcases her storytelling talent like never before.The characters spoke to one another as if they barely knew one another (despite being a family); I know this is not impossible but who wants to read it? The first book in the series is The Seven Sisters; followed by The Storm Sister, The Shadow Sister, The Pearl Sister, The Moon Sister, The Sun Sister and The Missing Sister. As something deep within her responds to the energy of the area and the ancient culture of the Aboriginal people, her creativity reawakens once more. However, the beauty of writing about the girls is that each of them have their own unique strengths and weaknesses. Eighty years earlier, in the Belle Epoque of Rio, 1927, Izabela Bonifacio’s father has aspirations for his daughter to marry into aristocracy.

Ally decides to head out on the open seas and follow the trail that her father left her, which leads her to the icy beauty of Norway.

I think that Belle's story could have covered less pages,all this uneccessary chatter did not add something essential to the main story. Thankfully, this is only the start of an epic series: Riley’s storytelling is simply too wondrous for just one instalment.
