ReviewsBrilliantly written. Reading like a stand-alone, it's full of evocative details about cities, the countryside, flora, and fauna, which makes the scenes come alive. Separated by nearly a century, the characters' storylines and dialogue are captivating and hold our interest...Highly recommended., Lucinda Riley is one of the strongest authors in this genre of historical fiction. Her ability to weave stories together, using modern-day and historical settings, is top-notich...excellent detail, heart-wrenching romance, and an engaging mystery., A unique dual timeline saga, rich with history and setting as well as emotion. This fourth book follows CeCe to discover her roots, as three of her sisters have done before her, but also to discover herself -- and the journey is both heartwarming and heartbreaking. Riley has a distinct gift for setting, and as such the locales along CeCe's travels come alive under her masterful pen. From the beaches of Thailand to the Australian outback to a London flat, the landscapes are vividly drawn and lushly atmospheric. The dual timeline aspect is seamlessly integrated with the story and will keep readers glued to the page, waiting to see how it all connects., The Shadow Sister really is Lucinda's best yet. The scope of this series is breathtaking and each book is more captivating than the last, Engaging...the stakes heighten as Star discovers her true heritage and destiny. Another pleasant jaunt., Riley's meticulous research and attention to detail immerse readers in historical background and bring CeCe and Kitty to life. Fans of Kristin Hannah, Kate Morton, and Riley's previous novels will adore this., Praise for The Pearl Sister : "Kitty's tangled history and its equally snarled connections to CeCe's origins unravel at a leisurely pace, with much lore about pearl fishing, aboriginal culture, and Australian race relations adding interest.", A deliciously twisting plot with clues cleverly paced along the way. I could hardly wait to solve the mystery of Star's origins. Thoroughly addictive storytelling with a moving, emotional heart., Wonderful! Absolutely impossible to put down! The Seven Sisters books just keep getting better and better., Praise for The Shadow Sister : "Riley's engaging and mezmerizing story of self-discovery and love...can be perfectly read as a standalone. This book will appeal to readers of Edwardian novels and Jane Austen-style fiction.", Set in the bucolic English countryside, this will appeal to fans of Kristin Hannah, Kate Morton, and Riley's earlier novels.

  • Fourth in The Seven Sisters series

    A great read; 4th in "The Seven Sisters" series by Lucinda Riley. Can be a stand alone, but better if you have read the preceding books. Have loved the first four and moving on to the fifth.
