Publisher's summary

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.

The imagery

Beautiful story of the perfect imperfection that is life. This story reinforces that it takes more than blood to make a family

A story within a story

Expecting to hear the story of one adopted sister, I was so surprised when the tale took me through the story of the biological great grandmother. So many chapters were devoted to this ancestor’s story and skimmed over the story of her mother and family at home.
Even so, the tale was a good one and will inspire you to want to see the countries it reached. But it does leave you with many questions that should be answered in a sequel.

Excellent

I thoroughly enjoyed the story, and the soothing tones of the narration. I couldn't seem to stop listening until I had gotten though the whole thing!

Best book in a long time!

It was definitely the best book I’ve heard in a very long time. I couldn’t stop listening… I enjoyed it very much and I’m starting the second book of the series… hoping that it’s as good as this one!
