The Storm Sister - Another beautiful novel from Lucinda Riley

Let me introduce you to 'The Storm Sister'

This is the second book in Lucinda Riley's spellbinding series, based loosely on the mythology surrounding the famous star constellation.

The text below is taken from the inside cover of Lucinda Riley’s book

‘Ally D'Aplièse is about to compete in one of the world's most perilous yacht races, when she hears the news of her adoptive father's sudden, mysterious death. Rushing back to meet her five sisters at their family home, she discovers that her father - an elusive billionaire affectionately known to his daughters as Pa Salt - has left each of them a tantalising clue to their true heritage.

Ally has also recently embarked on a deeply passionate love affair that will irrevocably change her destiny forever. But with her life now turned upside down, Ally decides to leave the open seas and follow the trail that her father left her, which leads her to the icy beauty of Norway.

There, Ally begins to discover her roots - and how her story is inextricably bound to that of a young unknown singer, Anna Landvik, who sang in the premiere of Peer Gynt, set to Greig's iconic music, over a hundred years before. As Ally learns more about Anna, she also begins to question who her father, Pa Salt, really was. And she starts to wonder why her seventh sister is missing . . .

I have to say this lovely book filled me with joy. I have always loved Greig's Peer Gynt - It was the one nice thing about my school days. If this was played at the morning assembly, it made me feel calm and ready to face what was a turbulent and unhappy time of my life.

Reading this book has also made me determined to practice my flute every day. Maybe one day, I will be able to play more than my scales.

Another beautiful novel from Lucinda Riley

This is the second wonderful novel in a series of seven books by Lucinda Riley, about six girls adopted at birth and taken to Geneva by a wealthy man they called Pa Salt. On his death, they each receive clues to their true identity. In The Storm Sister, Lucinda Riley takes us on another breathtaking journey as we follow Ally (Alcyone) from Lake Geneva, to Greece, Bergen/Oslo and Liepzig. Lucinda never fails to write a clever, vivid and beautiful descriptive novel. I was totally engrossed from the first page to the last and I am now bereft that I have to wait another year for the next instalment. This was spellbinding storytelling. I absolutely loved it, and highly recommend it.

 

 

Please remember though, you will need to read the fabulous first book in this series The Seven Sisters, to enjoy the second one - I promise you will not be disappointed

 The Seven Sisters - An absolute joy to read

This is a book that will stay with you long after you finish reading it. The Seven Sisters is the first in a series of seven books about six girls adopted at birth and taken to Geneva by a wealthy man they called Pa Salt. On his death, they each receive clues to their true identity. This, the first book, follows Maia's journey, and what a journey it is. From Switzerland, Brazil and Paris, Lucinda Riley takes you on a vivid historical journey. I can hardly wait until the next book in the series, 'The Storm Sister' is published. I have loved every single one of Lucinda's novels. She is a master storyteller who never ever fails to delivery a fabulous read. I absolutely loved it, and highly recommend it.
