From the #1 Australian and New Zealand bestselling author, Lucinda Riley.
Lucinda Riley was born in 1965 in Ireland, and after an early
career as an actress in film, theatre and television, wrote her
first book aged twenty-four. Her books have been translated into
thirty-seven languages and continue to strike an emotional chord
with all cultures around the world. The Seven Sisters series
specifically has become a global phenomenon, creating its own
genre, and there are plans to create a seven-season TV series.
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. In 2020 she received the
Dutch Platinum award for sales over 300,000 copies for a single
novel in one year - an award last won by J K Rowling for Harry
Potter.
In collaboration with her son Harry Whittaker, she also devised a
series of books for children called The Guardian Angels series,
based on stories told to her children whenever they were facing a
challenging situation. Harry then wrote the books, and they are now
being published internationally.
Though she brought up her four children mostly in Norfolk in
England, in 2015 she fulfilled her dream of buying a remote
farmhouse in West Cork, Ireland, which she always felt was her
spiritual home, and indeed this was where her last five books were
written.
Lucinda was diagnosed with cancer in 2017 and died on June 11th
2021, surrounded by her family.
A beautifully written series . . . A magical adventure.
*Woman's World Magazine, USA*
A breathtaking adventure brimming with cruelty, tragedy, passion,
obsession and, most of all, the music, rhythm and spirit of Spain's
gitano community... There is a real fire to this exciting new
chapter in the captivating Seven Sisters odyssey, an extraordinary
sense of drawing inexorably nearer to solving the intriguing
conundrum of Pa Salt's death and the tantalizing mystery of the
missing sister.
*Lancashire Evening Post*
A heartfelt, powerful, and spiritual saga. I don't know how she
infuses her characters with so much humanity, passion, warmth and
love, keeps the plot moving and brings the past alive so
profoundly, but she does so beautifully. If you've ever wondered if
writers are magicians, just read one of Lucinda Riley's novels and
you'll have the answer.
*M.J. Rose, New York Times bestselling author*
This family saga moves between past and present, and is an
engrossing read. I've read all of the series so far . . . possibly
the best one yet!
*North Norfolk Living*
Riley's meticulous research and attention to detail immerse readers
in historical background, bringing Tiggy and her Spanish birth
family to life. Fans of Kristin Hannah, Kate Morton, and Riley's
previous novels will adore this anticipated series
continuation.
*Booklist, USA*
The tension, sweeping descriptions, and multiple subplots catch the
reader early and don't let go. Touches of magical realism and
musical culture add to the gorgeous descriptions and historical
details.
*Historical Novel Society, USA*
In each of her series novels, Riley draws magnetic and strong
women, polar opposites in personality but all of them fearless and
determined. This entry will delight followers of Riley's series,
but also appeal to new readers
