So late to the party with this one and SO pleased that I’ve started the series because I will be reading all the way through. What a book. For the start of a series as well, it was incredibly gripping and fascinating. The perfect blend of historical fiction and modern day mystery and intrigue. A brilliant dual timeline, beautiful location and a fascinating interpretation of real life history and an iconic landmark.
About the Book
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.
