The Missing Sister: Lucinda Riley (The Seven Sisters, 7)

Product Information

Lily’s not foolish, she knew she had feelings for this boy, even if they were confusing and not as clear or as overwhelming as her feelings for James. As the series follows each sister as they delve into their ancestry, readers believe that Pa Salt is a ‘hidden’ character in the books. The meat of the action happens in the last 25% of the book; if I had given up at 50% (as I was tempted to), I would've missed most of the book's rising action and resolved conflict. Her 1988 marriage to the actor Owen Whittaker, whom she met while shooting a commercial, ended in divorce.

It is so magical and just pulls you into the story so that you just don’t want to put it down until you have reached the last page – and let me say with a book that comes in at 800 pages, that’s saying something when you don’t want to put it down!Belle was a young woman who was so loyal to her family and she desperately needed to know what had happened and why. Gloria the woman Belle meets on the boat on the way over and who seems to slot herself into Belle's life at every opportunity came across to me as if she was trying to be the mother figure but then on the other hand I was wary of her as I was of most people who featured. Arriving at Atlantis, their beautiful lakeside home in Geneva, his adoptive daughters are surprised to find that their father has already been buried at sea. Little notes are posted under her door by a stranger, warning her off and unsettling her determination to discover the fate of her sister. She was an influential wealthy British socialite who lived in Golden Valley which is where Belle’s parents once lived.

Thuli Madonsela speaks about the importance of SA's political future in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Severus said quietly and Lily hated this ‘I don’t know if we will be alive tomorrow’ sort of speech.It was obvious early on, though, where the fault was going to lie—who did what, who was good and who was bad—and the ending was a little cliched. It’s amazing just how brilliant this series is and I can already tell it’s going to be one that I will be rereading in the future!

I'm already looking forward to what part of the world she will take us to next and what brilliant story she will bring us. You’re never sure if you can trust him but he’s got that smouldering presence you can understand Belle is going to either love or hate.

Their bodies met like the old friends that they were: shy and uncertain at first, but just like their friendship, it quickly became overwhelming.

Trust is a very important word throughout this book because there seems to be a shroud of secrecy surrounding the events which changed the life of a family forever. Lily pointed out and didn’t add about Sirius almost getting Severus killed, “anyway, we are almost there.

I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it and that is historical fiction is one of my favourite genres and once you’ve read this book you’ll understand why. This is a fairly loosely woven story with some scenes that are a little hard to credit but which nevertheless takes you into the heart of what I imagine Burma could well have been like.
