Summary

The six D’Aplièse sisters have each been on their own incredible journey to discover their heritage， but they still have one question left unanswered: who and where is the seventh sister？

They only have one clue – an image of a star-shaped emerald ring。 The search to find the missing sister will take them across the globe; from New Zealand to Canada， England， France and Ireland， uniting them all in their mission to at last complete their family。

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。

The Missing Sister is the seventh instalment in Lucinda Riley’s multimillion copy epic series。

łatwo się zatracić w historiach bohaterów， kiedy autorka poświęca im kilka Rozdziałów， ale bohaterów jest za dużo， wątków jest za dużo i czasami się ciagnie

Norma Dushack ，

I loved these books I enjoyed the fantasy and the historical aspect of each sister。 This one I did not like being left on a cliff hanger。 It was kinda incomplete to me。

Missing sisterThis book is true to form for Lucinda。 I love the in-depth research she does regarding the country and the people。 My minds eye has me there walking the streets or sitting down and conversing with her characters。 My only issue with one of the characters was Merry。 She's 59 years old but comes off much older as she's always tired and extremely exhausted。 The constant fear she expresses along with her fatigue， was wearing。 The rest of the story and other characters were delightful an Missing sisterThis book is true to form for Lucinda。 I love the in-depth research she does regarding the country and the people。 My minds eye has me there walking the streets or sitting down and conversing with her characters。 My only issue with one of the characters was Merry。 She's 59 years old but comes off much older as she's always tired and extremely exhausted。 The constant fear she expresses along with her fatigue， was wearing。 The rest of the story and other characters were delightful and interesting。 I absolutely adore the ending。 Can't wait for the next installment。 。。。more

I loved it， enjoyed the Irish connection and the history of the troubles in Ireland。 Couldn’t put it down， cannot wait for book eight

Spännande teman t。ex att möta sig själv och det man är rädd för， vad gör en familj och styrkan i gruppen， och fortsatt roligt att varva systerns perspektiv med den dåtida berättelsen。 Boken ger mersmak på åttonde boken men möjligen inte lika medryckande som tidigare böcker i serien om de sju systrarna。

Mi aspettavo di arrivare finalmente all'ultimo capitolo di questa saga che e' indubbiamente ben costruita。。。purtroppo cosi' non e' stato: ancora un romanzo ci separa dalla conclusione。 Questa volta ci troviamo a seguire le orme della fantomatica settima sorella， Merope， a lungo cercata dal filantropo Pa' Salt （padre adottivo di altre 6 bellissime ed intelligentissime ragazze， che hanno affrontato il viaggio alla scoperta delle proprie origini dopo la morte del genitore）。 Questa sorella e' tuttav Mi aspettavo di arrivare finalmente all'ultimo capitolo di questa saga che e' indubbiamente ben costruita。。。purtroppo cosi' non e' stato: ancora un romanzo ci separa dalla conclusione。 Questa volta ci troviamo a seguire le orme della fantomatica settima sorella， Merope， a lungo cercata dal filantropo Pa' Salt （padre adottivo di altre 6 bellissime ed intelligentissime ragazze， che hanno affrontato il viaggio alla scoperta delle proprie origini dopo la morte del genitore）。 Questa sorella e' tuttavia sfuggente， e la sua ricerca ci conduce a spasso per il mondo: Nuova Zelanda， Norfolk， Canada， Londra， Dublino， le campagne irlandesi。。。 Chi e' Merope？ Qual'e' la sua storia？ Ho trovato questo romanzo meno coinvolgente rispetto agli altri， maggiormente forzato ed artificioso。 i collegamenti ed i ragionamenti fanno acqua in diversi passaggi， spingendoci a chiederci perche' mai una persona dovrebbe fare questo o quel collegamento。 Ho inoltre trovato estremamente sgradevole una delle protagoniste， Merry， non sono proprio riuscita ad entrare in sintonia con lei ed ad empatizzare con la sua storia e con le sue reazioni ed azioni。 Lo stile narrativo e' sempre piacevole e scorrevole ed e' davvero interessante il modo in cui l'autrice ci porta a rivivere tragedie del passato e della nostra Storia moderna， spingendoci a riflettere su quanto spesso le colpe dei padri ricadano sui figli e quanto， a volte， nascere nel posto giusto ed al momento giusto influenzi la vita di ciascuno di noi。 E' accattivante come diverse storie e misterivengano di volta in volta svelati nel corso di questi romanzi， mentre vengono seminati indizi che ci mostrano come il mistero piu' grande leghi le storie di tutte le sorelle e mi auguro davvero che nel prossimo， ultimo， libro in uscita in autunno 2022， avremo le risposte che cerchiamo。 Allo stesso tempo mi auguro che il tutto si riveli soddisfacente。 。。。more

This book was similar to the author's other novels in this series。 It's a slower read in the beginning but it picks up。 I love how each book takes you to a different country。 Looking forward to reading the final book in this series as I have any unanswered questions。 This book was similar to the author's other novels in this series。 It's a slower read in the beginning but it picks up。 I love how each book takes you to a different country。 Looking forward to reading the final book in this series as I have any unanswered questions。 。。。more

Ero così entusiasta dall'avere finalmente risposte a tutti i misteri della serie; che arrivata alla fine l’unica cosa che posso dire è di esserne rimasta delusa。 Immaginavo fosse in cantiere un libro solo su Pa’ Salt， ma questo libro sulla settima sorella si è chiuso sul più bello， come se avessero strappato il vero finale per farti acquistare obbligatoriamente l’ultimo volume per raccontare la storia di Mary e di Pa’ Salt。 Se “la sorella perduta” fosse stato autoconclusivo come gli altri volumi Ero così entusiasta dall'avere finalmente risposte a tutti i misteri della serie; che arrivata alla fine l’unica cosa che posso dire è di esserne rimasta delusa。 Immaginavo fosse in cantiere un libro solo su Pa’ Salt， ma questo libro sulla settima sorella si è chiuso sul più bello， come se avessero strappato il vero finale per farti acquistare obbligatoriamente l’ultimo volume per raccontare la storia di Mary e di Pa’ Salt。 Se “la sorella perduta” fosse stato autoconclusivo come gli altri volumi lo avrei apprezzato di più。 La lunghezza del libro è il punto a sfavore più grande di questo volume， se avesse tagliato di un centinaio di pagine non sarebbe cambiato nulla; perché alcune situazioni o frasi， si sono ripetute così spesso che mi hanno fatto alzare gli occhi al cielo。Tra le due storie presentate， quella di Nuala era scritta leggermente meglio di quella dedicata a Merry。Se i volumi delle altre sorelle mi avevano dato qualcosa su cui riflettere e alla fine affezionarmi alla protagonista del volume， anche quelle molto lontane da me caratterialmente （non solo fisicamente） come Elettra o Maya， con Merry non è accaduto。 Non sono riuscita ad apprezzare il personaggio， trovandola semplicemente molto antipatica， preferendole i figli o il personaggio di Ambrose。 Un amico di infanzia che come Voldemort “non poteva essere nominato” tanto che veniva spesso chiamato semplicemente “lui”， mi confuse a tal punto che non capivo chi fosse。 Non capivo se fosse un fidanzato o uno stalker di Merry e mi sono anche chiesta se non fosse stato Pa’ Salt; poi di colpo il personaggio sembrava essere stato accantonato o dimenticato， poi in poche parole è stato fatto uscire di scena。 Un’uscita in fretta e furia per un personaggio di cui la protagonista è stata impaurita。 La trama con Peter non aggiungeva letteralmente nulla alla trama generale ed erano solo pagine di riempimento， la storia non sarebbe stata affatto diversa se lui non fosse stato coinvolto。 In realtà non mi è piaciuta granché nemmeno come è stata gestita la parte delle sei sorelle che abbiamo conosciuto negli altri sei volumi。 Mi sono chiesta come facevano queste donne adulte a non conoscere il vero nome del padre adottivo o la sua occupazione; nonché ho trovato stupido l’inseguire una donna dall’altro capo del mondo， non pensando che potesse spaventarsi。 。。。more

Rovnako ako aj z predchádzajúcich kníh， aj z tejto som bola nadšená。 Mám rada to， ako vie autorka poprepájať minulosť s prítomnosťou a do celého príbehu zahrnúť kus histórie。 Jedným slovom jej knižky sú ÚŽASNÉ。Príbeh začína tým， ako sa sestry snažia vypátrať tú siedmu - stratenú。 Majú slabé indície a v podstate ani samé nevedia， koho vlastne hľadajú。 Indície totiž smerujú k dvom osobám （s právnikom sa poradiť nemôžu， lebo je nezastihnuteľný） a tak jednu z nich neváhajú prenasledovať z kontinentu Rovnako ako aj z predchádzajúcich kníh， aj z tejto som bola nadšená。 Mám rada to， ako vie autorka poprepájať minulosť s prítomnosťou a do celého príbehu zahrnúť kus histórie。 Jedným slovom jej knižky sú ÚŽASNÉ。Príbeh začína tým， ako sa sestry snažia vypátrať tú siedmu - stratenú。 Majú slabé indície a v podstate ani samé nevedia， koho vlastne hľadajú。 Indície totiž smerujú k dvom osobám （s právnikom sa poradiť nemôžu， lebo je nezastihnuteľný） a tak jednu z nich neváhajú prenasledovať z kontinentu na kontinent。 A to musím uznať， naozaj bolo trošku pritiahnuté za vlasy。 Nikto sa poriadne nevyjadril， rozprávali sa s ňou veľmi zvláštne a tak jej naháňali viac strach， ako vzbudzovali záujem。 Popravde， ja by som si myslela， že ma prenasleduje partia bláznivých žien a neverila by som im pol slova。 Toho naháňania ale bolo dosť veľa， prakticky sa zapojili všetky sestry， až na Maiu。 A ten Orlandov nápad ako prísť na koreň veci bol tiež taký cez， ale zas preňho typický :D 。Najviac sa mi pri pátraní páčila Ally， ktorá vlastne popri zisťovaní info， nájde aj svoje šťastie。Podarí sa sestrám nájsť tú stratenú？ Bude nakoniec jedna z nich tá pravá？ A stihne sa zúčastniť spomienkovej plavby？O histórii Írska veľa neviem， priznávam， že som sa o to doteraz ani nezaujímala， preto som aj vďaka tejto knihe， zas rozšírila svoje obzory。 Pri každej knižke mi autorka odhalila kus histórie a kultúry rôznych krajín a veľa informácii bolo pre mňa nových， čo fakt kvitujem。Páčili sa mi obe dejové linky z minulosti。 Najmä príbeh Nualy。 Z jej života cítiť ako sa v tej dobe žilo a aká bola silná nenávisť Írov voči Britom。。。ako túžili po vlastnej republike。 Nuala žila v rodine， ktorá patrila k jednej strane a pracovala v dome tej druhej。 Mala silne vlasteneckého ducha a to， čoho všetkého boli schopné ženy a že sa tiež aktívne do všetkého zapájali， bolo obdivuhodné。 Smutné bolo to， ako nakoniec politika pokazila aj rodinné， aj susedské vzťahy。Veľmi sa mi páčila aj dejová linka malej Smejky， ktorá mala niekoľkokrát šťastie v nešťastí。Záver a celkové rozuzľovanie bolo zaujímavé， a ako vždy veľmi dobre premyslené a plné zvratov。 Všetko však do seba zapadne。 List， ktorý Tatko Slaný napísal Stratenej sestre bol krásny， pri jeho čítaní som mala slzy v očiach， čo sa mi stalo pri tejto knihe viackrát。Tajomstvo Tatka Slaného sa zas trošku viac poodhalí a znovu nastanú rôzne záhadné momenty， pri ktorých čitateľ premýšľa ako by to mohlo byť， hoci dopredu vie， že celkového rozuzlenia sa nedopátra。 A aj keď má milión teórii， pravdu sa dozvie až v záverečnej časti。Ostáva mi len dúfať， že keď budúci rok vyjde posledný diel， bude čím skôr aj preložený， nech mám znovu kľudné moje čitateľské srdce。 Verím， že záver nesklame a bude veľkolepý， rovnako ako doteraz všetky jej knižky。 Vidno， koľko práce je za nimi a ich čítanie je naozaj zážitkom。 。。。more

Fabulously woven story。 Scene changes always perfectly timed to make you want to keep reading。 Now I have to wait a year for the final installment。。。That will be tough。。 addictive storytelling。

I've finished this book with more questions than answers about the series。 I really enjoyed about 3 out of the 7 "Seven Sisters" books， but found overall they got more tedious to read， repetitive， and full of "fluff" chapters。 I ended up skim-reading more of each book as the series went on。Really enjoyed the Irish history in this， but the chapters about the sisters pursuit of Merry and their general life recaps became boring and repetitive。I can't believe I've read seven of these books。 I've finished this book with more questions than answers about the series。 I really enjoyed about 3 out of the 7 "Seven Sisters" books， but found overall they got more tedious to read， repetitive， and full of "fluff" chapters。 I ended up skim-reading more of each book as the series went on。Really enjoyed the Irish history in this， but the chapters about the sisters pursuit of Merry and their general life recaps became boring and repetitive。I can't believe I've read seven of these books。 。。。more

The Missing SisterAs with all the other books in The Seven Sisters series， another compelling read 。 Can’t wait for the final book to be released。

Lois ，

I think this was the best book in the series。 Good thing I knew ahead of time that there will be another book in the series。 The story line is about finding the seventh sister and convincing her that she is part of the family。 As in the other books， the story is about the family she grew up with。 Very interesting learning about Ireland

Melanie Gray ，

This series has lost its sparkle with me。 Just to much detail and 2 many pages。

Nadam se da ćemo dočekati poslednji i osmi nastavak ovog serijala。 Slabiji za nijansu od prethodnih， ali sa dobrim receptom za uhođenje （šalim se malo， ali se ne šalim😁）。P。S。 Nije valjda da se tata zaista zvao Atlant？😲

I was pretty annoyed by the cliffhanger ending of this book， as I know the author died last year and her son is planning on finishing the final book for her。 I wish this one had more answers and I didn't have to wait until spring 2023 to finish。 I did enjoy the Irish history and loved that Merry/Mary （literally the same name， why） was able to reunite her old benefactors。 I was pretty annoyed by the cliffhanger ending of this book， as I know the author died last year and her son is planning on finishing the final book for her。 I wish this one had more answers and I didn't have to wait until spring 2023 to finish。 I did enjoy the Irish history and loved that Merry/Mary （literally the same name， why） was able to reunite her old benefactors。 。。。more

Worst book so far。 Only two or three historical chapters were interesting， but the present-day storyline went nowhere - except on many many pointless airplane flights， and many many pointless room-service orders were made。 Everything about this escapist rich-people life is just frustrating to read， and not even remotely desirable。Nothing is left of the sisters' personalities， only all of their new-found significant others identify who's who （oh， and the one who lost hers， completely randomly fin Worst book so far。 Only two or three historical chapters were interesting， but the present-day storyline went nowhere - except on many many pointless airplane flights， and many many pointless room-service orders were made。 Everything about this escapist rich-people life is just frustrating to read， and not even remotely desirable。Nothing is left of the sisters' personalities， only all of their new-found significant others identify who's who （oh， and the one who lost hers， completely randomly finds a new super unrealistic love interest）。The mystery of the why the sisters were all adopted by a crazy but kind kajillionaire is being dragged out for far too long now， and the conclusion， if it ever comes， can only be disappointing。 。。。more

Spotkanie z ostatnią siostrą nie przebiegło tak jak się spodziewałam。 Zdecydowanie najsłabsza pozycja z całej serii。 Niemniej jednak tło historii osadzone w okresie bratobójczych walk w Irlandii pouczające i ciekawe。
