About this deal

And the mystery of why the girls keeps thinking they see or hear Pa Salt is fascinating me more and more.

The way these two women seemed to reach out to each other over the decades – this is skillful storytelling at its very very best. Lucinda Riley was born in Northern Ireland, and after an early career as an actress in film, theatre and television, wrote her first book aged twenty-four. I think the Keppel family line is the line that produces the kings and princes of England mistresses, what a weird family, the woman in this line are experts in catching the eyes (and the hearts) of royalty!

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. Of course it doesn’t pay very well but it is pretty much a dream job for Star who is as passionate about books and literature as Orlando is. ARC generously provided via Netgalley, and it was my pleasure to provide the above honest review in exchange. 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.The silent one who must find her voice – set in London and Edwardian England, featuring Royal scandals and Beatrix Potter in the beautiful Lake District.

She's easily the most fleshed out character from all the three books so far, and I enjoyed her chapters immensely.Eventually, with the support of his family and Star’s kindness, he is able to have a relationship with her and his son and move on from the past.

We’ve barely heard about Star so far so it was a real treat to get an in depth look at what gets her ticking and to see her find herself. Lucinda Riley schafft es einfach immer wieder mit ihren romantischen bis kitschigen Geschichten zu begeistern und grade jetzt zur Vorweihnachtszeit war dieses Buch einfach perfekt für mich.Star’s journey to understanding more about herself and her past takes the reader back to London of the early twentieth century, where her ancestor Flora MacNichol, has a series of adventures that include the likes of the then Kings Mistress Alice Keppel, to Beatrix Potter. Violet and Vita, as well as others in the literary Bloomsbury group, were forerunners in breaking gender boundaries. I had wanted to read this series from the beginning and I was a bit unsure how it would go starting with book three. Ovaj nastavak serijala o sedam sestara mi se najviše dopao, a željno očekujem izlazak i ostalih dijelova, nadam se stoga da nećemo predugo čekati na Lagunu. stoljeća u divnoj jezerskoj oblasti Engleske, ali i London tada, kao i u sadašnjosti, a obje priče podjednako interesantne i dirljive, sve to protkano ljubavlju prema knjigama.

The author has such skill to be able to weave everything together so seamlessly that you almost feel that everything you have been witness to be the truth. 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. Why do you think her work’s popularity has been so enduring – and did you read the tales to your children? Perhaps because it was set in England and that's my particular favorite or maybe I saw something in myself in Star that made her my favorite sister (so far).To think that she might have done what she did in the Flora’s tory (no spoilers here) just wowed me and made me want to revisit Hill Top Farm to see if I could see some extra secrets that we don’t know about Beatrix. Nach einem etwas schwächeren zweiten Band fand ich den dritten wieder genauso gelungen wie die Geschichte rund um Maia.
