Product Information

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. Grieg’s Peer Gynt suite has always been one of my favourites – both ‘Morning Mood’ and ‘In the Hall of the Mountain King’ are such iconic pieces of music. Luckily, he was a prolific diarist and correspondent and there’s nothing better than reading the words that those historical figures have actually written. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

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. In this novel, we delve into the past of a blossoming singer, Anna, from pastoral Norway who is recruited to become the ghost voice for the premier production of Grieg's Peer Gynt. Her books have been translated into thirty-seven languages and sold thirty million copies worldwide. 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.This book envelopes around Ally's world who is a daring sailor and loves to take part in some of the world's most famous yacht races. My fictional characters – in this case, Anna and Jens – are woven into the factual truth of real-life events.

Die Sturmschwester“ von Lucinda Riley ist der zweite Band der 'Sieben-Schwestern-Reihe' und hier dreht sich alles um Ally und der Suche nach ihren Wurzeln.Kaip ir knygos herojė klaidžiojau tomis siaurutėmis senamiesčio gatvelėmis, aplankiau Edvardo Griego namus-muziejų, klausiausi jo įstabių simfonijų. Lucinda Riley shows once again that she's a master when it comes to writing stories with two different timelines. I also liked Anna, she may be naive and innocent, but she learns to stand up for herself and use her talent to get herself out of various difficult situations.

For me, this has always been a matter of personal preference, but I'm still not warming up to her writing style and I don't think I will.

Her books have been nominated for numerous awards, including the Italian Bancarella prize, The Lovely Books award in Germany, and the Romantic Novel of the Year award.I was lukewarm about the first one for various reasons, but thought that Ally sounded more interesting than insipid Maia, and definitely enjoyed the stronger characters and non-romance plot line in this one. 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. Observ că până acum ambele volume au avut influențe artistice, aici fiind vorba despre lumea muzicală. The Storm Sister by Lucinda Riley is book 2 in The Seven Sister series I had great expectations for this one because I absolutely loved the first book 😍 but this one I found didn't really hold my interest for very long. Her father's death hits her hard, and soon she faces another devastating blow when someone close to her drowns.

Ally is an incredibly determined woman, and despite the amount of grief she endures, she manages to find a new source of creativity, a new home and a new family in which she can raise her and Theo’s child.
