Maia D’Aplièse and her five sisters gather together at their childhood home - a fabulous, secluded castle situated on the shores of Lake Geneva - having 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.

Unusual plot!

Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2021

Verified Purchase

I read a lot (don’t own a tv), and eventually I recognize plot lines. This series piqued my interest because it’s not like any book I’ve read before. A single man adopting six baby girls from around the world, giving them a safe life rich in possibilities, and upon his perfectly planned death offers them insights about their origins should they choose to know? Nope. Never read anything like that! I’ve just finished the second book and am looking forward to reading the rest in the series.

Beautiful, unusual story

This book was recommended by a friend. It took about a chapter to grab me and it didn;t let go. This is the first story in the series. There are six sisters all adopted by a very wealthy man in Geneva. He dies and leaves clues to the secret of each of their births. Fascinating and each story has sections that go way back in time to a key person that relates to the sister's birth history. Beautiful writing, fascinating countries. I am now on book three then will have to wait for book four!

I'm a fan of Lucinda Riley's writing

Our book club, Wine and Words, read this book last month and we all agreed we must read the next one! We have a very diverse group (ages 45-72) and there is always at least one of us who just didn't love the book (or the opposite, majority disliked it and one or two didn't understand why as they enjoyed it) - but THIS book was one we ALL loved and couldn't wait to get the 2nd one. I have an upcoming road trip and decided I had also better go ahead an purchase Book 3 in case I finish #2 on the road. Lucinda Riley took me to another country and then some. One thing I will add is that the beginning was a teeny bit slow as it introduces all of the sisters, which is important to understand who is who, but once you get past all of that and into where Maia learns her "coordinates", you won't be able to put this book down!!

The Seven Sisters: A Novel by Lucinda Riley----Are you looking for a book that is very well-written, interesting, and suspenseful?? Well, The Seven Sisters: A Novel is the one! Look no more. You will absolutely LOVE this book!!

This book alternates between 1926-1929 in Rio de Janeiro and 2007 in Geneva. The author masterfully researches Rio and its city along with the Corcovado Mountain and the Christ the Redeemer statue. You learn about the this world-famous monument being planned, the engineer, and the sculptor in Paris who was chosen for this project.

I could not get the book off my mind; I kept wanting to read more and more. It piqued my interest in Rio de Janeiro, Christ the Redeemer , and Geneva. After finishing this book, I went on the computer to learn more about these topics.

That is the mark of a stimulating book!

This book had me from the very beginning. I love the mystery, the history, and the love written into this story. This author is a true magician and the story has captured my imagination like few authors can these days. This is a true work of art and I can't wait to start book two. The characters are real and human and fallible. The mistakes and the decisions and the endings are so life like it is unbelievable this is a work of fiction.

I could not stop reading and it inspired me to do research on “Christo”…… historical fiction is my favorite type of novel and this certainly did not disappoint. I have three sisters myself so comparing the different personalities was fascinating…..highly recommend

Gripping Right From the Start

Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2020

Verified Purchase

This story captured my attention from the start and held it through the entire book. But I still have more questions about Maia! The story flowed even though it jumped from last to present and back again. It has a clever base story with the family and the way Pa Salt planned everything out. I'm anxious to continue reading about Ally now. I would definitely recommend this book!

AMAZING BOOK!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 15, 2017

Verified Purchase

Seven Sisters easily became one of my all time favorites! This book is the first of a 7 book series. There's a wealthy guy (whom the girls call Pa) who adopts 6 girls and names them after the Seven Sisters star galaxy. They live in a mansion in Switzerland and they have a Nanny who looked after them all their lives (Ma). 7th sister is also a mystery, as everybody expected to complete the fleet with the 7th sister, and we don't know why she hasn't come. One day, Pa dies suddenly of heart attack and leaves different clues to each sister to find their origins.
So, each book is a story of one sister taking place in the present and the past trying to find their origins and their adventures while doing that. We will have the 7th book tie everything together after reading about the 6 sisters.
This book is the adventure of the eldest sister to find her heritage. I cannot praise this book enough. Not only it's a page turner, it's also very interesting with real historical moments and periods. We go back and forth between the present and past. All characters are very well built. You feel for them and live with them while reading about them. The total plot is very complex, yet gripping. it's very well thought and beautifully written.
I read other 2 books as well, I ADORE all characters. I love that each book takes place in 2 different countries with different historical scenes and elements. It's very rich and enjoyable to read.
If you like historical fiction, and stories that go between past and present, don't miss out. It's a GREAT book.

Quite simply wonderful

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 14, 2018

I felt I needed a change of genre (mystery/thriller) with something different and this one had been on my kindle for some time so, whilst awaiting a book that I was asked to review, I picked this one up; I have emerged two days later in tears, missing the characters, Paris, Brazil and Switzerland, and quite simply, adoring this one.

I started it, was pulled into a vice like grip which didn’t release me until I turned the final page today. I was totally and utterly engrossed by the terrific writing, the wonderful characters and the descriptions of beautiful people and places. Well, you get the picture.

I won’t cover the plot as I feel this would have been covered by other reviewers - plus it’s so hard to cover the twists and turns and I wouldn’t want to give one little bit of it away in order to spoil this glorious book.

Maia is such a wonderful person, I took to her immediately, but it is safe to safe to say I loved just about everyone, except the despicable mother in law, and literally screamed ‘No’ when I realised I had turned the final page and Maia wasn’t in my life any more and it ended with a humongous cliffhanger. I actually burst into tears 😭.

I am not sure the second in the series could possibly top this and I cannot wait to read them all.

I think I have sussed out who Pa Salt was and why he did what he did but as I, most reluctantly, neared the end and knew there wouldn’t be time for revelations, I am left wondering when the truth will out.

This is a massive 600+ pages (my kind of book) which I read in two sittings as I just couldn’t put it down.

After the most lengthy and incredibly hot weather here in the UK, the rains came and this book was like an oasis in the desert - totally refreshing and wonderful.

5 stars is not enough and I highly recommend this.

Delightful ..... :) x

I'm so pleased I took the plunge and bought this book based on the reviews ...
I nearly didn't as I have piles of 'to read' books everywhere, being rather book obsessed, and really have been trying to stop buying any more !
This book was a delight, transporting me into a most beautiful world filled with passion, art, history ...
places and characters that i could feel and picture in my mind .. needless to say I was gripped from the first page!
And so much for no more books ... amd now nearly at the end of book 3, they get better and better :) ...
and i'm so grateful to Lucinda. Having been unable to read for far too long due to chronic stress, I am now thoroughly enjoying losing myself in these characters lives :) .... thankyou!

My New Favourite Author

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 21, 2019

This is by far the best novel I have ever read and I believe I have found my new favourite author in Lucinda Riley.

Not usually the type of book I would go for, I wanted to try something new and I was far from disappointed.

Lucinda's style of writing has you immersed within the story in an almost hypnotic way.

I finished the very long book in 3 days!

I have just started the second book and I am already hooked.

Thank you Lucinda for the joy you bring to your fans!

Absolutely love this series...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 13, 2019

I happened upon this series by Lucinda Riley, by chance here on Amazon. Reading the reviews - I thought I'd give them a whirl. So glad I did... absolutely love them all and am now excitedly awaiting the next one in the series "The Sun Sister" which is released on 31st October.
They are not a literary masterpiece but having said that, they are storytelling at their best and if you almost look at them, as almost a fairy tale - some of the details which might bring up questions... dissolve into nothing. Each book is based around each sister. Their stories are spellbinding and I haven't been able to put any of them down. I also think they are getting even better, as we proceed further into the series.
I have also just started "The Midnight Rose" also by Lucinda and am already barely able to stop reading.
This is story telling at it's best and clearly written by a strong and wise lady... if you're looking for a compelling but easy read... look no further. So happy that I have discovered this writer... she is my new favourite!
