The Seven Sisters (The Seven Sisters, 1)

Product Information

Und der Plot war auch gar nicht wie befürchtet langweilig, sondern ich fand ihn ganz im Gegenteil sogar echt spannend mit einigen unerwarteten Wendungen und auch einem Ende, was mich echt mit offen stehendem Mund zurückgelassen hat. Our Non-Fiction Range includes: Academic, Photography, Audio books, Business, Cook Books, Craft Books, Health and Fitness Books, Mind, Body, Spirit (Tarot). With help from those she meets on her journey, CeCe begins to believe that this wild, vast continent could offer her something she never thought possible: a sense of belonging, and a home . Izabela inadvertently falls in love with Laurent as he sculpts her and soon their budding romance grows to a crescendo and they declare their undying love to each other just before she goes back home and marries Gustavo Aires Carabal, a man she is not at all in love with. The series was recommended to me by my sister-in-law and it’s a recommendation that was well deserved.

Her journey takes her to Rio de Janeiro where she discovers that her great grandmother, Izabela, had infact travelled the other way around to the old world from Rio in the late 1920’s to find her destiny and to try and escape from the dread of an arranged marriage to the heir of the Aires Carabal family. I am finding the guy, Fioriano, I have no idea how to spell his name, that Maia meets in Rio, to be really quite creepy, quite predatory. In desperation, she decides to flee England and discover her past; the only clues she has are a black-and-white photograph and the name of a woman pioneer who lived in Australia over one hundred years ago.Just jumping in to say I had The Seven Sisters as both a paper copy and listened on audio, and yes I found Floriano creepy too! Eighty years earlier, in the Belle Epoque of Rio, 1927, Izabela Bonifacio’s father has aspirations for his daughter to marry into aristocracy. This story has many layers and each intricately layered is written with enough compassion and depth.

I'm just reading the third book in this great series of books about the seven sisters and wanted to be sure I had the next ones so I didn't have to wait to continue. 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 whole "oh the TV's on, this message is directed at us" (not to mention how painful the 'interview' sounded), and him showing up unannounced at Atlantis was a bit poorly done, and didn't add anything to the story. After the death of their adoptive father, Maia and her sisters gather together at their family mansion in Geneva where each sister is handed a clue about their natural parents. There, at Paul Landowski’s studio and in the heady, vibrant cafes of Montparnasse, she meets ambitious young sculptor Laurent Brouilly, and knows at once that her life will never be the same again.Lucinda Riley, an Irish international best-selling author, have spun a terrific and absolutely stunning saga of six sisters in an all new series of The Seven Sisters. We work closely with publishers and authors to ensure that we offer the best books on the market for your child. Also if you read the book in print form, you can have fun working out the anagrams of names of characters in the book with those in Greek mythology. I don’t think the author could’ve changed this structure because of the frame narrative of each of the adopted sisters finding out their true heritage, but it made me less engaged with the overall story. Dennoch gebe ich dem Buch gerne vier Sterne, denn es hat mich trotzdem sehr gut unterhalten, und ich habe das Buch auch durchaus sehr gerne gelesen.
