The Storm Sister (The Seven Sisters, 2)

Product Information

I absolutely loved travelling up to Trondheim and seeing the fjords and the snow-capped mountains beneath me from the aeroplane. 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 . The cover may have some limited signs of wear but the pages are clean, intact and the spine remains undamaged. Although this is the second book, hence we get a brief idea about all the six sisters as well as some of the supporting cast in the first book. We don't get to read the passionate love affair that transpires between Anna and Grieg , we merely are told that it occurs.

Star’s story will take us from the wilds of Cumbria and the raw beauty of the Lake District to the excesses and social whirl of Edwardian London.Following the bestselling The Seven Sisters, The Storm Sister is the second book in Lucinda Riley's epic saga of love and loss, inspired by the mythology of the Seven Sisters constellation.

The headstrong leader whose fearless nature will be tested – from the Greek Islands and the ‘Fastnet’ sailing race back to the icy beauty of Christiania, the old capital of Norway, and Leipzig in the late 1800’s. These books flip from today and then right back to great grandparents time which is a lovely Idea and normally works but we get such a heartbreaking start before the first step back in time I wasn't really interested. This novel contains the usual outlandish descriptions, and it would be lovely to harness the power that creates unnecessary fluff, and put it into creating more realistic and complex characters. I have visited Norway numerous times since my initial journey there, and, like my father before me, I fell in love too.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.

Her father's death hits her hard, and soon she faces another devastating blow when someone close to her drowns. I don't like having everything explained to me, so I miss subtlety and nuance in her writing, the 'between the lines' if you will - but that might just be me.I was only five when my father arrived back from his travels in Norway, bringing with him a long-playing record of Grieg’s Peer Gynt suite. As you would expect, the innocence of the inexperienced woman causes more than a few bumps in Anna’s road to singing success, and her life journey takes her across Europe to Leipzig and living in the world of famous composer Edvard Grieg.
