The Shadow Sister (The Seven Sisters Book 3)

Product Information

In the first two books of the series, you focus primarily on a single sister, whereas in this story, CeCe plays an important role. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. It is admirable how far she came, a girl from Scotland, married to a Norfolk gentleman, who rose to the unofficial level of a queen.

Because I dictate the first draft of each novel, dialogue is usually something that flows very easily. Almost no character development, and the little she did have didn't make her grow as a person at all. What is especially interesting to me is how people will perceive her differently once they have more insight into her thoughts and emotions.Owned by Vita Sackville-West, who makes a brief appearance in The Shadow Sister as Violet’s ‘special friend’, the Sissinghurst castle and grounds were in a state of decay when she bought it in 1930.

Mir hat der dritte Band der Reihe wieder sehr gut gefallen, wobei Star nicht mein Lieblingscharakter ist; einfach weil ich mich mit ihr nicht identifizieren konnte. In the book you feature the beautiful scenery of the Lake District and the gardens of Kent in England. The next book is about CeCe who is portrayed as mostly selfish and scatter-brained in this one, but I trust that hearing her POV will render her more sympathetic.

Nu am rezonat foarte mult cu personajele și nu am simțit aceeași fiori la în celelalte volume dar voi continua seria. As The Shadow Sister explores different aspects of English culture and heritage, I of course had to include our world-famous English country gardens. I feel as if the character of Shanthi was brought in just to illustrate Star’s difficulties with communication and making friends, but again it doesn’t really shed any light on what’s behind her issues.In particular the characters of Flora MacNichol and Beatrix Potter, and the friendship between the two. The first two books do hint at the older sisters being worried about Star and it seems that she may be struggling with playing second fiddle to CeCe. Following on from the bestselling The Seven Sisters and The Storm Sister, The Shadow Sister is the third book in Lucinda Riley's spellbinding series, loosely based on the mythology of the Seven Sisters star cluster. Priča o sestrama koje otkrivaju svoje porijeklo se u ovom romanu nastavila na najbolji mogući način.

Die Atmosphäre war absolut zum wohlfühlen und auch CeCe wurde mir im Laufe des Buches sympathischer, sodass ich mich nun auch auf den nächsten Band freuen kann.

I will just note that in this book (and the previous two) CeCe really made me grit my teeth and I didn't like her very much, but I'm almost 200 pages into her story 'The Pearl Sister' and as I hoped, getting her perspective has made me like her more. Most of it was cooking, babysitting and speaking to family members about logistics of who's at which house and who's driving whom to the station and who got whom pregnant in which year. But I mean this literally happened days before he fell in love with Flora, and Aurelia knew nothing of it yet.

Asterope - known as Star by her family, has always lived in the shadow of her more outgoing sister CeCe. Star reads the journals of Flora, a young woman from that time period, as she herself figures out where she fits in society and love. I did read her books myself and to my children, and in fact, my character Tiggy’s nickname comes from Beatrix’s The Tale of Mrs Tiggy-Winkle. The first book, The Seven Sisters, set up the rather implausible premise of a billionaire who has raised six girls from infancy in his mansion on Lake Geneva without them learning anything about his origins or work, only to die suddenly while they’re all away and arrange an elaborate puzzle for each of them to solve if they want to know about their biological heritage. She is outshone by the other stars in the Pleiades cluster, and, as Star discovers when she looks through Pa Salt’s telescope, Asterope is in fact made up of two weakly shining stars that sit closely together.I must admit, the 1st book - The Seven Sisters - is still my favorite so far, but these books seriously pull you in and this book - the 3rd - is no exception. The Shadow Sister moves through the varied landscape of England – from the mellow county of Kent – which as Star mentions, is also known as ‘The Garden of England’ – all the way to the northern Lake District, which is defined by its more rugged landscape. As Star learns more of Flora's incredible journey, she too goes on a voyage of discovery, finally stepping out of the shadow of her sister and opening herself up to the possibility of love. Die Geschichte in der Vergangenheit hat mir sehr gut gefallen, vor allem auch wegen der starken Frauen! I was both heartbroken and delightedly happy at moments throughout Star and Flora’s story and love the way Lucinda weaves such magic in bringing it all together.
