The Storm Sister (Seven Sisters, #2)

by Lucinda Riley

Ally D'Apliese 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 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 lived there over a hundred years before, and sang in the first performance of Grieg's iconic music set to Ibsen's play 'Peer Gynt'. As Ally learns more about Anna, she also begins to question who her father, Pa Salt, really was. And why is the seventh sister missing?
Following the bestselling The Seven Sisters, The Storm Sister is the second book in Lucinda Riley's spellbinding series based loosely on the mythology surrounding the famous star constellation.

Reviews

[Whitney @ First Impressions Reviews]

After finishing The Seven Sisters I longed to begin the second in Lucinda Riley’s series. It did take a while to get into as The beginning of Ally’s story felt like a rehash of the first book. I doggedly persevered and was not disappointed.

The novel picked up as soon as I reached Anna’s portion of the book. She was a unique character and enjoyed reading of her rise from obscurity. Lucinda Riley’s depictions of Norway were delicious and what I have come to expect from the author, creating a magical, vivid world all her own.

Once Ally began her search behind her ancestry I became engrossed and admired what a strong character she was. I also liked following Ally on her “detective work” and the slow connection of her ancestry leafs.

The Storm Sister can be read as a stand alone but by reading The Seven Sisters first the reader gets a greater in-depth view of Ally, Pa Salt and her sisters and is like visiting an old friend and is as if no time has past. The Storm Sister is a treat to read and an excellent edition to this inventive series.
