The Missing Sister: The spellbinding penultimate novel in the Seven Sisters series (The Seven Sisters, 7)

Product Information

Furthermore the author has a rather ‘convenient’ way of simply making less sympathetic characters disappear from the plot, so that rather promising storylines come to dissapointing and unfullfilling ends. For example: of seven siblings she makes the one sibling the main character does not get along with emigrate to Canada. End of story. Some weird childhood friend is easily written of to the loony bin in one single paragraph. Loose ends are sloppily written off in my opinion. Riley is survived by Stephen, their two children, Leonora and Kit, the two children of her first marriage, Harry and Bella, and three stepchildren, Olivia, William and Max, as well as her mother and her sister, Georgia. There are so many stories to tell – from the very beginning, the main mystery has always been #whoispasalt? Who is this mysterious wealthy man who decided to collect children from all over the world and care for them? What was his real name, where is he from and who is Kreeg Ezru? Why was he buried at sea so mysteriously? We have now discovered the origins of the adopted sisters and finally the identity of the Missing Sister and how she fits into this strange, disparate family. Savvy readers might have found clues as to how it all fits together… and now the story of Atlas will be the final puzzle piece that lets the entire picture emerge clearly.

The Seven Sisters series is drawn to its epic, unforgettable conclusion in Atlas: The Story of Pa Salt. Their father's lawyer gives them a picture of a star shaped emerald ring and a name as their clue, and they are asked to go and find their missing sister before they all embark on a cruise to do a proper send off to their father. Eigenlijk begon het al slecht. In de eerdere delen kreeg je steeds in het eerste stukje heden al een dergelijke hoeveelheid informatie/puzzelstukjes, dat je al een connectie met het personage hebt, en het stuk in het verleden daardoor al interessant is. In dit boek, wist ik toen nog helemaal niets, dus het stond nog erg los van elkaar. This book was very long, the longest in the series so far, and it didn't really need to be. Mary (Merry) was very irritating, and most of her whining could have been cut down a bit. I can't say that I liked her at all. I did however, love the portions of the book set in Ireland, and I loved learning more about their hardships before independence. The historical parts are always my favourite parts of these books.I have really enjoyed this series for the most part and have been looking forward to what I thought was the final book, but unfortunately I was dissatisfied. This was my least favorite of the series so far. According to Riley, there was no way she could do the story justice in just one book, and so will be releasing a follow-up book, Atlas: The Story of Pa Salt next year. Her acting career was interrupted by a long bout of mononucleosis. This caused her to turn to writing, and her first novel Lovers and Players was published in 1992. [3]

coordinates to where they originally came from. All of the Sisters clues apart from one have been acted on and they have found out their individual stories mapped out in each book dedicated to each sister. One detail is missing the clues for ‘The Missing Sister’ the one Pa Salt never found, hence the title of the book. Her name is Merope. In doing so, they will slowly unearth a story of love, strength and sacrifice that began almost one hundred years ago, as other brave young women risk everything to change the world around them. I am truly indebted to all those in my local community who went the extra mile to help me. I had thought that writing about my home would be an easy task, compared to writing about colonial Kenya, for example – but I discovered how complex my own people’s history was, and writing it has been one of the most enlightening experiences of my life. This novel started out really, really shaky. The dialogue was awful and the circumstances these characters found themselves in was unrealistic. So, to say I trudged through the first part of this would be an understatement. All of the siblings spoke to each other as if they were office acquaintances instead of people with any kind of intimate connections. I, also, understand Riley’s desire to include bits of each sisters stories, however, it came off confusing and seemingly a desperate attempt to give each sister ‘facetime’ by concocting unrealistic scenarios.When Lucinda was five, her father was transferred to Courtaulds in Derby, so the family left Northern Ireland to live in Leicester. Six years later, she appeared on stage as one of the Von Trapp children in a production of The Sound of Music (1976), staged by the city’s rotary club at the De Montfort Hall. Arrebatador y fascinante este séptimo libro de la saga, colmado de sorpresas que no esperaba, esta relatado con cuantiosos toques de inocencia, dulzura y magia, para mí siempre es como leer muchas historias dentro de una.
