Product Information

I want to know how this will all turn out in the end but after reading the "authors note" it seems I have to wait until book 7 comes out. 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. Lucinda Riley shows once again that she's a master when it comes to writing stories with two different timelines. 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. Das letzte Kapitel war wieder aus Sicht der Schwester, die im nächsten Buch die Protagonistin ist erzählt, diesmal Star.

I learnt a lot from the book, both when it comes to music history and how to live life to the fullest. I don’t know much about classical music or Norwegian history so those aspects were interesting, but tragic in parts, especially the WW2 section - I had no idea that Norway had been invaded by the nazis. 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’. The second reason is that I was really hoping the mythology of the Seven Sisters would be further explored in this book but there was big fat zilch about it.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. When I saw that he was nice to his mom, I thought, maybe I should give him the benefit of the doubt. I want each novel to be able to stand alone as well, so I’ve had to come up with interesting premises to explain the main plot line of Pa Salt adopting all the girls to new readers, without being too repetitive for those who have read the previous sisters’ stories. Her books have been translated into thirty-seven languages and sold thirty million copies worldwide. During the ‘Halcyon days’, when the world was filled with joy, prosperity and tranquillity, her Greek namesake watched over the Mediterranean Sea, making it calm and safe for sailors.

There are some hits (The Midnight Rose) , and some that are a nightmare (The Orchid House, I'm lookin' at you). Ally meets the love of her life through sailing and after tragic circumstances she finds herself in Norway. The whole historical perspective of Norwegian life in the 1870s came from Lars Roede at the Oslo Museum. The clue takes her to Norway and to the story of Anna Landvik, a talented singer who lived one hundred years ago.

It really did become the background music to my own childhood, as he eulogized about the beauty of the country, especially the magnificent fjords. Also while reading I felt like the author has poured all her best emotions while penning this story. 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. Maybe it's because my family sails but Theo's death which was probably supposed to make me sad actually make me fucking livid.
