The Storm Sister (The Seven Sisters, 2)

Product Information

I want to know how this will all turn out in the end but after reading the "authors note" it seems I have to wait until book 7 comes out. As you would expect, the innocence of the inexperienced woman causes more than a few bumps in Anna’s road to singing success, and her life journey takes her across Europe to Leipzig and living in the world of famous composer Edvard Grieg. I absolutely loved travelling up to Trondheim and seeing the fjords and the snow-capped mountains beneath me from the aeroplane. The first book of the series,is much more interesting than this but ok i give it three stars since it wasn't that awful.

The coordinates of the birth point to Norway and will be associated with the history of the creation and the first performance of Grieg's Peer Gynt.Despite of Ally's POV, the author has given opportunity to her readers to look at the story from their own perspectives. This hidden plot line run through the series and I have to ensure this is subtle and consistent through all the books.

If you have enough sense to recognize a situation as dangerous, don't just get your girlfriend to safety. Only my husband knows the plot of the last book, though recently he said he’s forgotten it already . The story from the past then picks up again in Leipzig 1936, with Ally traveling herself to Noway and learning about her grandfather Jens Horst Halvorsen who was studying at the Landeskonservatorium der Musik zu Leipzig at that time, anyone with an ounce of historical knowledge will know, just how unpredictable the thirties were in Germany, and especially for people considered a little different. Alcyone, known as Ally, is sailing the Mediterranean with her new boyfriend Theo when she learns that Pa Salt has died. Some of the conversations between characters sometimes don’t feel genuine- not sure people would really speak like that especially the male characters, but overall enjoyable.

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. Estoy segura de que millones de personas poseemos una habilitad natural para algo, pero si no la desarrollamos y nos dedicamos a ella, nunca alcanzaremos nuestro verdadero potencial. Das letzte Kapitel war wieder aus Sicht der Schwester, die im nächsten Buch die Protagonistin ist erzählt, diesmal Star.

I'm not sure that I enjoyed Ally's story as much as Maia's, but this is still very solid and entertaining. He was controlling, pushing for too much commitment too soon and actually admitted to Ally that he believed his choices were more important than her fears but his fears were more important than her choices. You go through a whole gamut of emotions in reading this story, it is so richly built, and vividly described that the characters all feel so very real to you as you are reading of their journeys, although set in very different times everything is weaved together so beautifully that it was just a real pleasure to read, three couples, three love stories, set in three very different times. Ally D’Aplièse is about to compete in one of the world’s most perilous yacht races, when she hears the news of her adoptive father’s sudden, mysterious death. Of course, nobody knows the truth except me (and my husband if he can ever remember it), and it hasn’t been a challenge at all to keep it a secret – it’s been great fun.The Insta-love romance with the insufferable Theo is fortunately brief and the outcome well sign-posted, so it isn’t too long before Ally embarks on her Scandinavian quest, then we shift to Anna’s story in 1975. Lucinda Riley shows once again that she's a master when it comes to writing stories with two different timelines. I learnt a lot from the book, both when it comes to music history and how to live life to the fullest. The Storm Sister is like a literary musical score - crashing waves, staccato heartstopping moments and a crescendo waiting in the wings.

There, Ally begins to discover her roots – and how her story is inextricably bound to that of a young unknown singer, Anna Landvik, who lived there over a hundred years before, and sang in the first performance of Grieg's iconic music set to Ibsen's play 'Peer Gynt'. It felt too similar to the story in the first book and I was scared that this would become the general pattern in all stories of the 6 sisters. And it is when she has a forced separation from her love that her story leads to tragedy, just as in the Greek myth. Lucinda’s The Seven Sisters series, which tells the story of adopted sisters and is inspired by the mythology of the famous star cluster, has become a global phenomenon.

The headstrong leader whose fearless nature will be tested – from the Greek Islands and the ‘Fastnet’ sailing race back to the icy beauty of Christiania, the old capital of Norway, and Leipzig in the late 1800’s. There, Ally begins to discover her roots – and how her story is inextricably bound to that of a young unknown singer, Anna Landvik, who lived there over a hundred years before, and sang in the first performance of Grieg’s iconic music set to Ibsen’s play ‘Peer Gynt’. It really did become the background music to my own childhood, as he eulogized about the beauty of the country, especially the magnificent fjords. 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!
