An epic and transporting novel, the latest installment of the “h eart-wrenching, uplifting, and utterly enthralling” (Lucy Foley, author of The Guest List) Seven Sisters series, unravelling between the dazzling streets of modern-day New York City and the breathtaking plains.

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. Floriano seemed to contradict Maia every chance he got, telling her what she should be wearing, what she should be feeling, and despite only just meeting him, she appeared to be completely fine with this, and yes, wait for it.

It doesn't make any sense to me why he would speak French to Kreeg, even though they had always spoken in Russian. The sisters are named for the stars of the Pleides Constellation, used by sailors to find their way.When you purchase through links on our site we may earn a small commission, at no extra cost to you.

And as we join her journey of self-discovery, The Seven Sisters unfolds into an evocative story of female friendship, family and love. If you're all heart, doting, and respectful of the other person, but you're ugly, you have absolutely no chance with anyone. A bachelor, a middle-aged man, adopts six young girls, brings them here to Switzerland to raise and educate them under one roof. This is my favourite of the series so far, even though it arguably has the most plot holes/annoyances (I’ll get back to that in clearly marked spoilerish sections later on). Upon arrival, she is rebuffed by a woman who is obviously related to her- but she is not without help.With strong elements of mystery and romance, I can see why this book would appeal to a wide range of readers. 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. Floriano was ok he was just a different personality ie, excitable and intrigued to the point of pushing Maia's boundaries.

I also felt a bit like Riley wanted her leading man to take control of things for Maia which felt a bit uncomfortable to me. at least but my more jaded less impressed self says, I liked it, but I'm not going to follow the series. I get that it was a feature built into the place, but how was something like the lift so well hidden that they'd never seen it in their whole lives living there? Riley did a wonderful job of integrating past and present stories, making every character authentic and believable.Riley is a storyteller from God and she knows how to do interesting things, collecting from constructs: the mystery of adoption, a love triangle, hope after loss - a great story.
