Read by Fiona Button (This Is Not a Pity Memoir, Your Word Or Mine)

Star D'Aplièse, in her late twenties, is at a crossroads in her life after the sudden death of her beloved father – the elusive billionaire, named Pa Salt by his six daughters, all adopted by him from the four corners of the world. He has left each of them a clue to their true heritage, but Star – the most enigmatic of the sisters – is hesitant to step out of the safety of the close relationship she shares with her sister CeCe. In desperation, she decides to follow the first clue she has been left, which leads her to an antiquarian bookshop in London, and the start of a whole new world . . .

A hundred years earlier, headstrong and independent Flora MacNichol vows she will never marry. She is happy and secure in her home in the Lake District, living close to her idol, Beatrix Potter. But, when machinations outside of her control lead her to the London home of one of Edwardian society's most notorious players, Flora is pulled between passionate love and duty to her family. But she finds herself a pawn in a game – the rules of which are only known to others – until a meeting with a mysterious gentleman unveils the answers that Flora has been searching for her whole life . . .

As Star learns more of Flora's incredible journey, she too goes on a voyage of discovery, finally stepping out of the shadow of her sister and opening herself up to the possibility of love.

The epic, multi-million selling series continues with The Pearl Sister.

Wonderful! Absolutely impossible to put down! The Seven Sisters books just keep getting better and better (Tracy Rees, author of Amy Snow)

A deliciously twisting plot with clues cleverly paced along the way. I could hardly wait to solve the mystery of Star's origins. Thoroughly addictive storytelling with a moving, emotional heart (Dinah Jefferies, author of The Tea Planter’s Wife)

The Shadow Sister really is Lucinda's best yet. The scope of this series is breathtaking and each book is more captivating than the last (Iona Grey, author of Letters to the Lost)

[An] engaging and mesmerizing story of self-discovery and love

Fantastic Journey

I have been binge reading this series now. This being the third book in the series, though longer than the other two, took less time to read. It was a slower start but quickly drew me in and I couldn’t put it down. I’m not sure why, but I felt the most connected to this book in the series so far. I enjoyed learning about the royalty society and how smart to bring in in Beatrice Potter! Rory captured my heart as did Star’s journey to finding herself. I have 5 sisters myself so I can relate to this series so much and I truly wish I could take a sisters trip to all the wonderful venues! Here’s to the next one. Pearl sister here I come!!!

Love her series

I love how she intertwines the past into the lives of the sisters. Highly recommend.

Best so far for me

I found myself wanted not to know what was going to happen next. I can predict stories pretty well and couldn’t it this book. I recommend this series.

Enjoying this series!

This book was slow in the beginning and hard to get into. But I stuck with it and I’m glad that I did. I’m really enjoying this series and I’m looking forward to the next book.

Excellent story

I love the accent and the descriptive and wonderful storytelling such a love story in all the books
