In doing so, they will slowly unearth a story of love, strength and sacrifice that began almost one hundred years ago, as other brave young women risk everything to change the world around them. Lange musste ich auf den siebten Band warten, um endlich herauszufinden wer die unbekannte siebte Schwester ist. Nachdem nun neue Hinweise auf die verschwundene Schwester Merope aufgetaucht sind, machen sich die Schwestern gemeinsam auf die Suche und lässt den Leser einmal rund um die Welt reisen. This novel started out really, really shaky. The dialogue was awful and the circumstances these characters found themselves in was unrealistic. So, to say I trudged through the first part of this would be an understatement. All of the siblings spoke to each other as if they were office acquaintances instead of people with any kind of intimate connections. I, also, understand Riley’s desire to include bits of each sisters stories, however, it came off confusing and seemingly a desperate attempt to give each sister ‘facetime’ by concocting unrealistic scenarios. There is a lot about the history of Ireland and their struggle for independence from the British, which was interesting. I love history, so I always find that fun to read, and I like learning about other cultures. That being said, that part of the story is not something you couldn't get from other sources, so I wouldn't say it would be worth the read to get that aspect if you are interested in that particular part of history. It DOES include real life events and people, but they are not really central to the story.

Daily Mail on The Pearl Sister A breathtaking adventure brimming with cruelty, tragedy, passion [and] obsession It’s all just too lazily written and actually, the story only gets more and more ridicoulous with every next chapter. Lucinda Kate Riley ( née Edmonds; 16 February 1965 – 11 June 2021) [1] [2] was a Northern Irish author of popular historical fiction, formerly an actress and ballet dancer. Their search will take them all over the world, but mainly to Ireland, to the time where the Irish were fighting for their independence. I'm Kristin. I always have a book with me wherever I go!

Almost every noun had an adjective and at certain points I was rolling my eyes about it.

Catherine Gonsholt Ighanian, Seven Sisters author has cancer - "Death does not scare me", (Norwegian), Verdens Gang, 26 May 2019 Wauw, maar echt wauw. Het liefst zou ik deze review volstoppen met spoilers maar dat zou zonde zijn. Fans van de Zeven Zussen reeks zullen ongetwijfeld niet kunnen wachten om dit boek te lezen en Riley maakt de hoge verwachtingen meer dan waar. Hoewel dit boek net iets anders is opgezet dan de vorige zes boeken, zo wissel je tussen meerdere tijdzones, werd ik vanaf het begin direct meegesleept in het bijzondere en mooie verhaal. Hoewel je denkt te weten hoe een boek kan aflopen nadat je al zes gelijksoortige boeken hebt gelezen, viel mijn mond bijna open aan het eind en heeft Riley het verhaal tot letterlijk het laatste woord verrassend weten te houden.

The writting is just a bit off for me. Everything is just made with dialogues without even detailed descriptions of the places nor the feelings of every character. They have been to this island I never heard of near NZ and had no clue how beautiful it is because the writer didnt even focus on writing about it. Every places they hunted Mary down, it felt like they all just passed by just so the plot can say, "they searched the whole world for her". La verdad es que el principio me costó... tanto perseguir a Merry de un país a otro y ella obcecada sin escuchar. Me tenia más interesada la historia dd Nuala. Pero desde que Merry llega a Irlanda la cosa cambió y ya fue un no parar de leer. I am truly indebted to all those in my local community who went the extra mile to help me. I had thought that writing about my home would be an easy task, compared to writing about colonial Kenya, for example – but I discovered how complex my own people’s history was, and writing it has been one of the most enlightening experiences of my life. Now they are all due to meet up to celebrate the life of Pa Salt as the first year anniversary of his passing is fast approaching so they all endeavour to find her.

Women need a partner to be happy, right? It doesn't matter Merry has two healthy children, a succesful business, inner peace now Bobby is no longer a threat and reconnected in only positive ways with her siblings. No, girl needs a man.

The Seven Sisters (2014), a story taking Maia D’Aplièse from Lake Geneva to Rio de Janeiro, was followed by The Storm Sister (2015), embracing historical Norwegian figures such as Edvard Grieg and Henrik Ibsen. Then – with settings ranging from the Beatrix Potter-era Lake District, London Edwardian society and the Scottish Highlands, to Thailand, Australia, Spain, South America, New York and Kenya – came The Shadow Sister (2016), The Pearl Sister (2017), The Moon Sister (2018) and The Sun Sister (2019). When Georg realizes that Mary, and therefore the ring, is not on board for their cruise, he is extremely agitated and goes to seek Mary out to persuade her to join them, and gives her the envelope Pa Salt left for her with the letter explaining where she can find answers. Only the letter does not give the answers. We are left without knowing the circumstances of her birth, who her parents were...or at least her mother, and it implies that Pa Salt is her biological father or at least knew her mother. We don't know why it's so important that the ring be present at the memorial cruise. We don't know why it was mentioned so often that she looked a bit like Star or why Star felt she looked familiar. We don't know why Ally thought she saw Pa Salt or whose voice was heard on the phone, or where the elevator leads, or if Pa Salt really is dead. [/spoiler]

Había comprendido que al abrir, vacilante, los recuerdos que llevaban tanto tiempo sellados, había desatado un torrente de otros recuerdos.They only have one clue - an image of a star-shaped emerald ring. The search to find the missing sister will take them across the globe; from New Zealand to Canada, England, France and Ireland, uniting them all in their mission to at last complete their family. Their father's lawyer gives them a picture of a star shaped emerald ring and a name as their clue, and they are asked to go and find their missing sister before they all embark on a cruise to do a proper send off to their father. Here the early section has a weird kind of pursuit aspect when the sisters take turns following poor Merry across the globe. I liked this section because it was fun to reunite with each sister and see how their lives are going, though the practical side of me did want them to stop scaring the hell out this poor woman! My one real quibble with the book -- why was it so important to invite a woman they don't know to the memorial of a man she never met? I get that she might be the "Missing Sister" found at last, but the deadline felt odd. Couldn't they just meet up with her on her schedule? Why was her presence needed? Whatever her connection to Pa Salt, she never met him. However, I liked everything else so much that I was (mostly) able to let this go. Tal vez todos mentimos para proteger a aquellos a los que amamos. O al menos no les contamos cosas que pensamos que pueden hacerles daño o asustarlos. coordinates to where they originally came from. All of the Sisters clues apart from one have been acted on and they have found out their individual stories mapped out in each book dedicated to each sister. One detail is missing the clues for ‘The Missing Sister’ the one Pa Salt never found, hence the title of the book. Her name is Merope.
