The Seven Sisters

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

De: Lucinda Riley

Narrado por: Tuppence Middleton

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

A brilliant page-turner just soaked in glamour and romance

Riley is one of the strongest authors in this genre of historical fiction . . . excellent historical detail, heart-wrenching romance, and an engaging mystery (Historical Novel Society)

Like the famous statue that brought the lovers together and hovers over Rio today, the story is elegantly sculpted and rich with history (Library Journal, USA)

Excellent!

This was a great read/listen with marvelous links to history. It keeps you wondering and then leaves you wanting more. I felt it ended a bit abruptly, but the ending certain leaves you wanting to move to the next book in the series - heading there now for sure!

Interesting

I enjoyed this multifaceted tale. It takes you back in time & in present day. Beautiful sentences. Sometimes long and drawn out.

Great storytelling

Love the characters. A tale of the past and love that was not allowed to be. Looking forward to finding out about the next sister!

Great series

The title caught my attention and, because I was looking for a new series, I dived right in and thoroughly enjoyed it! I am midway through the final book in the series, Pa Salt, and it’s weaving all the girls stories together in such a surprising way!! All the narrators did a marvelous job.

Self love

The mystery of finding one’s self, and the sacrifices we make for love. The never ending struggle to find the true love we all crave.
