The Storm Sister (The Seven Sisters, 2)

Product Information

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. Bet on the next round of the game - each novel corresponds to its own kind of art: the first sculpture, the second music. Rushing back to meet her five sisters at their family home, she discovers that her father - an elusive billionaire affectionately known to his daughters as Pa Salt - has left each of them a tantalizing clue to their true heritage.

The sheer arrogance of 'I get to patronize you in the name of protectiveness, but you don't get to veto my self-destructive decisions' drove me up the fucking walls. Alcyone, known as Ally, is sailing the Mediterranean with her new boyfriend Theo when she learns that Pa Salt has died. And the plot is written in a back and forth, past/present, style that captivates and engages you as it sweeps you along through the highs and lows of both Ally and Anna’s life.El escenario en el que se desarrolla, hermoso y ni que decir de la música en la que se basa gran parte de la trama, simplemente ¡espectacular!

When a second tragedy strikes, Ally travels to Oslo and learns the story of a talented young singer who was the first to perform Grieg’s famous musical adaptation of Peer Gynt. It is a dreadful rupture in our world history, and affects any novel set in any country between 1938 and 1945. In Greek mythology, Alcyone, the second sister, was known as ‘the Leader’ and her star is one of the brightest in the cluster.

An amazing example of dialogue during an emotional moment: “I wrapped my hands around his neck and planted a kiss on the top of his head, ‘Thank you so much for saying that. The heroine learns the experience of heavy losses and happy gains, and you and I will meet with the history of the creation of wonderful music, not without some scandalous details (however, Riley is very delicate). It’s a little like playing with a Rubik’s Cube – one line fits, but then another falls out of place. The book is set across so many beautiful countries around the world, from the sky-blue sea in Greece to a country house on a island in Geneva to a backward village in Norway to it's city to another in Germany, the story simply guides the readers through many untrodden as well as beautiful destinations.
