The Seven Sisters

I think in my last post I made it pretty clear that I love dancing and tennis, well that isn’t the only thing that I love….. I am also a huge bookworm.

I have just finished reading this book by Lucinda Riley, it is called the Seven Sisters. Lucky for me this is not just one book, it is a whole series, and I will now move onto the next one “The Storm Sister”.

This post is not about the second or third book, it is about the first one.

Maia D’Apliese and her five sisters get together at their house in Atlantis when hearing the news about their fathers death. Maia and her sisters were all adopted by him as babies and, discovering he was already buried at sea, each one of them got given a clue as to what their true heritage is, a clue which takes Maia across the world to a mansion in Brazil. Eighty years earlier, in 1927, Izabela Bonifacio’s father wanted her to marry into aristocracy. Architect Heitor da Silva Costa is working on a statue called “Christ the Redeemer”, and will soon travel to Paris to find the right sculptor to complete his vision.

When Izabela learns of this, she tries to get her father to agree to let her go with him and his family to Paris, so that she can see the world before she gets married. After meeting a young sculptor named Laurent Brouilly, she knows that her life will never be the same again.

This book is definitely one of my favourites and I highly recommend it to all you bookworms out there.
