The Pearl Sister (The Seven Sisters, 4)

Product Information

I want to like this series, because it is SUCH a good idea. The way it is working out though is just awful. Two stars because it was okay enough that I wanted to find out what happened to the characters in the end. Will probably take the next one on holiday next year. *sigh* Following the death of her father, the elusive billionaire Pa Salt – so-called by the six daughters he adopted from around the globe and named after the Seven Sisters star cluster – she finds herself at breaking point. Dropping out of art college, CeCe watches as Star, her beloved sister, distances herself to follow her new love, leaving her completely alone. Die Malerei ist nicht unbedingt mein Thema und auch hier fällt CeCe von einer guten Szene in die nächste und wird von positiven Zufällen getragen. CeCe D’Aplièse is up this time, and having found her a little dislikeable in the previous book I was interested to read of the origins of this adopted woman’s blood lineage. This is a character who has already displayed quite a strong personality, so much so that she had pretty much took over the running of her closest sisters Skye’s life, but that changed in the previous book; The Shadow Sister as Skye discovered her past, and met her future, a future that didn’t solely revolve around doing what CeCe thought was best for them as a duo. Journey to the dusty plains of Central Australia in The Pearl Sister , the fourth book in the number one bestselling Seven Sisters series by Lucinda Riley. A spellbinding story of love and loss, inspired by the mythology of the famous star constellation.

The London banker she meets in Thailand? What was the point of that? That she knows how to make a friend? I also have some news. Apparently, this series is coming to TV!! I would love to watch it. You can read more information here:Die Geschichte selbst hat mir von allen 4 Bänden am wenigsten gefallen, was allerdings am Strang in der Gegenwart liegt: Die „Thailand-Story“ war für mich etwas nervig, übertrieben melodramatisch und ganz und gar unauthentisch. Besonders die Auflösung. Das war ein bisschen zu viel des Guten. CeCe and Star have always come as a pair. Star the quiet one great with literature and speaks very little, CeCe speaks for them both and virtually overwhelms Star and they even have their own form of sign language to communicate.

Journey to the dusty plains of Central Australia in The Pearl Sister, the fourth book in the number one bestselling Seven Sisters series by Lucinda Riley. A spellbinding story of love and loss, inspired by the mythology of the famous star constellation. I'm glad I read 'The Shadow Sister' and 'The Pearl Sister' so close together, because Star and CeCe sort of go hand in hand (though these stories are about then breaking away from each other, growing into two separate people as opposed to a pair). Thank you to NetGalley, especially Atria Books, for providing me with a copy in exchange for an honest review. I love stories set in the hot, dusty parts of Australia. It's a place I like to visit via books but have no desire to actually go in real life - I don't think I'd handle the heat, the dust or the flies. I really enjoyed following along as CeCe learned more about her heritage, especially the information I got about Aboriginal art. I Googled the artists mentioned and the work was incredible, though I'm sure even more impressive in person rather than a phone screen!

Never a truer word was written, and once again it delivered an absolutely outstanding read to add to The Seven Sisters series as a whole. Tiggy is up next later this year in The Moon Sister and from the little glimpse you get of her at the end of this one, I cannot wait too read where the author takes her on her journey of discovery, and who she will meet along the way. The story the author told, took me to present day Thailand, Australia and the UK, as well as Scotland in the early 1900’s and on a boat voyage to Australia in those times as well, and as with every other book, interweaved two women’s lives perfectly together in its telling. When CeCe finally reaches the searing heat of the Red Centre of Australia, she begins the search for her past. As something deep within her responds to the energy of the area and the ancient culture of the Aboriginal people, her creativity reawakens once more. 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... Lucinda Riley schafft es hier wie immer meisterhaft Orte und Länder zu beschreiben. Man sieht alles bildlich vor sich, auch wenn ich bisher weder in Thailand noch in Australien war, kam es mir so vor als würde ich bekannte Orte wiedersehen.
