De zeven zussen

Na de plotselinge dood van hun vader komen Maia en haar zussen bij elkaar in hun ouderlijk huis, een prachtig landhuis aan het Meer van Genève. De zussen werden als baby door Pa Salt geadopteerd en krijgen na zijn dood allemaal een brief met een mysterieuze verwijzing naar hun afkomst. Maia’s verleden brengt haar naar Rio de Janeiro. Daar aangekomen probeert ze met de weinige aanwijzingen die ze heeft haar achtergrond te ontrafelen. Het voert haar tachtig jaar terug in de tijd, naar de bouw van het wereldberoemde Christus de Verlosser-beeld én de glamour van de jaren twintig in Parijs. Slaagt zij erin haar ware identiteit te achterhalen? De zeven zussen is het eerste deel uit een zevendelige serie over liefde, verlies en de zoektocht naar wie je werkelijk bent.

Following on from The Seven Sisters, this is the second book in a spellbinding series of novels based loosely on the mythology surrounding the famous constellation. Each one follows the story of one sister, and each book opens at a beautiful chateau on the shores of Lake Geneva. The sisters gather together when they are told that their beloved father, an elusive billionaire they knew as Pa Salt, has died. He adopted them from across the globe, and now they are each left with an envelope, which holds a clue to their past, and a set of coordinates engraved on an armillary sphere, showing where their father found them. The Second Sister tells Ally's story. A talent sailor, Ally is competing in one of the world's deadliest races when tragedy strikes. This leads her to leave her life on the beautiful Mediterranean waters and follow the clue her father left her to a museum in Norway, where she begins to discover her past - and the story of a young woman, Anna, who lived there over 100 years before - and her links to the composer Edvard Grieg and his famous music to accompany Peer Gynt.

Wonderful! Absolutely impossible to put down! The Seven Sisters books just keep getting better and better Tracy Rees, author of Amy Snow
