Book Review: Seven Sisters Series by Lucinda Riley
This series is a sweeping epic tale of love, family, joy, fear, pain, loss and above all, hope. Lucinda Riley's Seven Sisters novels are based on the legends of the Seven Sisters of Pleiades (Maia, Alcyone, Sterope, Celaeno, Taygeta, Electra, Merope). Pa Salt adopted the sisters from the four corners of the earth. Upon his death each sister is handed a tantalizing clue to her true heritage. Each book in the series takes one sister on a journey to find the pieces of her own story. Each woman written about within these tales accepts that she wants and needs love in her life but not necessarily in the traditional form.
The first installment, also entitled the Seven Sisters, has Maia the oldest of the daughters traveling to a crumbling Rio de Janeiro mansion and finding clues to her heritage from the 1920's story of Izabela Bonifacio and architect Heitor da Silva Costa. Heitor designed the huge famous statue called Christ the Redeemer. Heitor, Izabel, and his family will travel to Europe to meet the fabricator of the statue and within those studio walls, Izabel's life will change forever.
