The Storm Sister (The Seven Sisters, 2)

Product Information

Bet on the next round of the game - each novel corresponds to its own kind of art: the first sculpture, the second music. kol pats neišgyveni netekties ir stipraus sielvarto, neįmanoma nuoširdžiai atjausti kitų, atsidūrusių tokioje pat padėtyje. My fictional characters – in this case, Anna and Jens – are woven into the factual truth of real-life events. An amazing example of dialogue during an emotional moment: “I wrapped my hands around his neck and planted a kiss on the top of his head, ‘Thank you so much for saying that. 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 tantalizing clue to their true heritage.

It is a dreadful rupture in our world history, and affects any novel set in any country between 1938 and 1945. He made this supposedly strong woman into a whipped puppy that followed close to her master's heels. So Alcyone (Ali), the "Sister of the Wind", from childhood had a penchant for music lessons and excellent musical abilities, but no less loved to sail. Lucinda Riley shows once again that she's a master when it comes to writing stories with two different timelines.Laced with musical historical that took place almost hundred years ago in Norway, Ally's story is simply entrancing and intriguing. The Storm Sister is a novel that is hard to put away and I really loved to follow Ally and Anna's adventures.

I think this is definitely slower than the first book, and Anna's story takes a long while to get going, but it's very satisfying at the end. Maybe it's because my family sails but Theo's death which was probably supposed to make me sad actually make me fucking livid. The Insta-love romance with the insufferable Theo is fortunately brief and the outcome well sign-posted, so it isn’t too long before Ally embarks on her Scandinavian quest, then we shift to Anna’s story in 1975.Am avut emoții că nu o să-mi mai placă la fel de mult acest volum pentru că am depășit elementul surpriză dar nu a fost așa.

And it is when she has a forced separation from her love that her story leads to tragedy, just as in the Greek myth. The Storm Sister is the second book in Lucinda Riley’s spellbinding series based loosely on the mythology surrounding the famous star constellation. For Ally’s story we step back to Norway 1875, and the story of young mountain girl Anna Landvik, and how from being plucked from obscurity she becomes one of Europe’s most renowned classical singers.This soul-touching and engrossing book narrates the story of the second eldest sister, Ally after Maia, who embarks upon a journey to find her original roots after her adoptive father's sudden death.

Despite of Ally's POV, the author has given opportunity to her readers to look at the story from their own perspectives. There she finds out more about herself than she bargained for and with all the tragedy she has gone through the biggest surprise is within her.

Of course, nobody knows the truth except me (and my husband if he can ever remember it), and it hasn’t been a challenge at all to keep it a secret – it’s been great fun. I also met Henning Malsnes at the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra, who explained the way an orchestra is managed on a day-to-day level, as well as the orchestra’s wartime history. After reading this book I won’t be reading any of the other books, this was super disappointing and way too long. I’m sad to say that I didn’t enjoy this book nearly as much as the first in the series and there’s two main reasons for that.
