Summary

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。 Rushing back to meet her five sisters at their family home， she discovers that her father - an elusive billionaire affectionately known to his daughters as Pa Salt - has left each of them a tantalising clue to their true heritage。

Ally has also recently embarked on a deeply passionate love affair that will change her destiny forever。 But with her life now turned upside down， Ally decides to leave the open seas and follow the trail that her father left her， which leads her to the icy beauty of Norway。。。

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 100 years before， and sang in the first performance of Grieg's iconic music set to Ibsen's play 'Peer Gynt'。 As Ally learns more about Anna， she also begins to question who her father， Pa Salt， really was。 And why is the seventh sister missing？

Following the bestselling The Seven Sisters， The Storm Sister is the second book in Lucinda Riley's spellbinding series based loosely on the mythology surrounding the famous star constellation。 （less）

Started off wondering if this book would be 'more of the same' however it soon turned its own corner and hooked me in。 Great read。 Love the way we learn stuff on the way and I feel inspired to learn more about Grieg and his music。 Still thinking about the book after finishing it a few days ago and that to me is the sign of a good book！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。 Rush Started off wondering if this book would be 'more of the same' however it soon turned its own corner and hooked me in。 Great read。 Love the way we learn stuff on the way and I feel inspired to learn more about Grieg and his music。 Still thinking about the book after finishing it a few days ago and that to me is the sign of a good book！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。 Rushing back to meet her five sisters at their family home， she discovers that her father - an elusive billionaire affectionately known to his daughters as Pa Salt - has left each of them a tantalising clue to their true heritage。Ally has also recently embarked on a deeply passionate love affair that will change her destiny forever。 But with her life now turned upside down， Ally decides to leave the open seas and follow the trail that her father left her， which leads her to the icy beauty of Norway。。。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 100 years before， and sang in the first performance of Grieg's iconic music set to Ibsen's play 'Peer Gynt'。 As Ally learns more about Anna， she also begins to question who her father， Pa Salt， really was。 And why is the seventh sister missing？Following the bestselling The Seven Sisters， The Storm Sister is the second book in Lucinda Riley's spellbinding series based loosely on the mythology surrounding the famous star constellation 。。。more

The second installment of the Seven Sisters series。 This sees Ally going through lots of heartbreak before finding out she has a connection to a young， unknown singer， Anna Landvik。 The story goes on from there and Ally finds herself wondering why the seventh sister is missing and who her father really was。 Another brilliant read。 I love Lucinda Riley's writing style。 I can't wait to move on to the next installment。 The second installment of the Seven Sisters series。 This sees Ally going through lots of heartbreak before finding out she has a connection to a young， unknown singer， Anna Landvik。 The story goes on from there and Ally finds herself wondering why the seventh sister is missing and who her father really was。 Another brilliant read。 I love Lucinda Riley's writing style。 I can't wait to move on to the next installment。 。。。more

This book was ok， I preferred the 1st book。 But still enjoyed it

Christine Rennie ，

This is the second book in the Sisters series and was a very interesting read。I quite liked Ally and thought as the second sister she was an extremely accomplished person。 She was a woman who had to deal with so many issues within a short period of time。Highly recommended

The second volume of the Seven Sisters had the same magnetic pull， time-lapsing tale， and erroneous writing skill as the first book did。 We follow the heritage story of the second sister， Ally。 Where we start of with an unrealistic love story （quite similar to where we left Maia in the first book） we continue to follow her past over several generations。 Ally is more independent in comparison to Maia， but stil， she apparentley needs tot be told when tot shower or to eat。 I think Riley wants to sh The second volume of the Seven Sisters had the same magnetic pull， time-lapsing tale， and erroneous writing skill as the first book did。 We follow the heritage story of the second sister， Ally。 Where we start of with an unrealistic love story （quite similar to where we left Maia in the first book） we continue to follow her past over several generations。 Ally is more independent in comparison to Maia， but stil， she apparentley needs tot be told when tot shower or to eat。 I think Riley wants to show a set of young women finding their way in current society， in my opinion， she lacks actual stories。 Stories of non-privileged girls who have actually accomplished something， rather than spoilt little girls given mediocre clues from their past。 I miss an actual character build， someone I feel empathy for。 Nevertheless， I enjoyed the book， and I am grateful that Star is the third sister。 Would recommdend to borrow these books though， I would not want them in my personal collection。 。。。more

Kolejna historia kobiet， które potrafią czerpać z życia i cieszyć się nim， by potem gdy przejdzie kryzys móc żyć mimo wszystko。 Trzeba umieć doceniać każdą chwilę szczęścia， "ładować tym swoje wewnętrzne akumulatory"， by móc w trudnych chwilach przejść kryzys i żyć dalej nieraz mimo wszystko。 Kolejna historia kobiet， które potrafią czerpać z życia i cieszyć się nim， by potem gdy przejdzie kryzys móc żyć mimo wszystko。 Trzeba umieć doceniać każdą chwilę szczęścia， "ładować tym swoje wewnętrzne akumulatory"， by móc w trudnych chwilach przejść kryzys i żyć dalej nieraz mimo wszystko。 。。。more

I really love Rileys way of writing since it feels so cozy to read。 But I have to say that this second book for some reason didn't feel as good as the first one。 I think mostly it is because I didn't really connect to Ally in the same way I did with Maia。 But I will say that some parts of the book felt better than others and I really enjoyed those parts。 But to often for my taste I kinda lost interest with the book and it was almost hard to turn page and read the next。 All in all after reading i I really love Rileys way of writing since it feels so cozy to read。 But I have to say that this second book for some reason didn't feel as good as the first one。 I think mostly it is because I didn't really connect to Ally in the same way I did with Maia。 But I will say that some parts of the book felt better than others and I really enjoyed those parts。 But to often for my taste I kinda lost interest with the book and it was almost hard to turn page and read the next。 All in all after reading it I don't regret it and I think it was good in its ways， but I will probably not re-read it some time soon。 。。。more

The Seven Sisters is one of my favorite book series， I read as a grown-up。 I like the first and the second book （seven sisters and storm sister） best。 Especially interesting are the well-researched historical facts and I am curious about the big picture and the uncovering of all the connections in the 7th part （appearing 2021）。I have read parts 3-5 also in a few days because they are written very well and are riveting。 Only book 6 wasn't this great and took me a bit longer。 The Seven Sisters is one of my favorite book series， I read as a grown-up。 I like the first and the second book （seven sisters and storm sister） best。 Especially interesting are the well-researched historical facts and I am curious about the big picture and the uncovering of all the connections in the 7th part （appearing 2021）。I have read parts 3-5 also in a few days because they are written very well and are riveting。 Only book 6 wasn't this great and took me a bit longer。 。。。more

A sudden calm。I have to admit this story of the second sister did not capture me as much as the first。 Partly because the beginning was all about sailing and I am not a yachting enthusiast。 However when we got down to the historical section tracing Ally's birth origins then I was captivated。 Loved Anna， the 'ghost voice' and her complex love affair。 Read the book in one day and enjoyed it。 Highly recommended。 Looking forward to the next。 A sudden calm。I have to admit this story of the second sister did not capture me as much as the first。 Partly because the beginning was all about sailing and I am not a yachting enthusiast。 However when we got down to the historical section tracing Ally's birth origins then I was captivated。 Loved Anna， the 'ghost voice' and her complex love affair。 Read the book in one day and enjoyed it。 Highly recommended。 Looking forward to the next。 。。。more

En stark trea， nästan en fyra。 Jag dras med i historien trots att jag kan se ett mönster i serien。 Får se om författaren kan variera sig tillräckligt för att hålla mitt intresse uppe。

Gabrielle Holmes ，

Loving this series。 This is the second book I’ve read in the series。 Both very different。 You could read them out of order with no issue。 I’m really enjoying the interesting tidbits of history within the stories。 Didn’t want the story to end。 Will definitely continue with the series。

Uau！ Que viagem incrível à Noruega e aos seus imponentes fiordes。 Neste livro conhecemos a história de Ally， a segunda das sete irmãs， desta maravilhosa saga escrita por Lucinda Riley。 A Ally é uma jovem cheia de vida e de energia， velejadora profissional， que participa em competições em diversos pontos do globo。A sua vida está numa fase particularmente interessante e de crescimento profissional quando， subitamente， Pa Salt， o seu pai adoptivo falece e Ally sente que a sua vida fica sem chão。Per Uau！ Que viagem incrível à Noruega e aos seus imponentes fiordes。 Neste livro conhecemos a história de Ally， a segunda das sete irmãs， desta maravilhosa saga escrita por Lucinda Riley。 A Ally é uma jovem cheia de vida e de energia， velejadora profissional， que participa em competições em diversos pontos do globo。A sua vida está numa fase particularmente interessante e de crescimento profissional quando， subitamente， Pa Salt， o seu pai adoptivo falece e Ally sente que a sua vida fica sem chão。Perdida e sem saber o que fazer， Ally decide ler a carta que o seu pai lhe deixou quando morreu， onde lhe dá pistas sobre o seu passado。 E aí embarca numa viagem à Noruega， ao berço de um dos maiores compositores de música clássica， Edvard Grieg。 Adorei a história do passado e a forma como se entrelaça com o presente。 Cada vez estou mais curiosa com o desfecho desta saga familiar e o modo como todas as peças no puzzle se irão encaixar。 。。。more

Continuo la saga perché voglio capire il mistero di sottofondo a tutte le storie。 Ogni volta mi trovo immersa in storielle non particolarmente interessanti ed entusiasmanti。 Scritte bene， comunque si lasciano leggere /e ascoltare） in fretta。 Non riesco a dargli una piena sufficienza， scritti bene， libri leggeri che passano in fretta。 Ma tuttavia sento che manca qualcosa。

Beautiful。 Also cool to read and know a bit more about the life of the sisters and Pa Salt！

Der 2。 Teil handelt von Ally einer starken Persönlichkeit， einer Profiseglerin。 Ihren Charakter fand ich interessant allerdings konnte ich dem Segeln einfach nicht viel abgewinnen。 Dennoch waren die Informationen hilfreich einiges zu verstehen。 Ally durchlebt nicht nur eine schwierige Zeit durch den Verlust ihre Adoptivvaters， sie hat leider noch etwas ganz anderes danach zu verdauen。 Die ersten 40% des Buches handeln davon， von der Geschichte in der Gegenwart und ich fand sie toll！ Man hat mit Der 2。 Teil handelt von Ally einer starken Persönlichkeit， einer Profiseglerin。 Ihren Charakter fand ich interessant allerdings konnte ich dem Segeln einfach nicht viel abgewinnen。 Dennoch waren die Informationen hilfreich einiges zu verstehen。 Ally durchlebt nicht nur eine schwierige Zeit durch den Verlust ihre Adoptivvaters， sie hat leider noch etwas ganz anderes danach zu verdauen。 Die ersten 40% des Buches handeln davon， von der Geschichte in der Gegenwart und ich fand sie toll！ Man hat mit gefiebert， mit gelacht， mitgelitten doch als es auch für Ally an der Zeit war sich mit ihrer Herkunft zu beschäftigen hatte ich Schwierigkeiten die Leselust oben zu halten。 Anders wie beim 1。 Teil， bei welchem man sich ca。 im Jahr 1920 aufhielt， ging die Zeitreise weiter nach hinten。 18xx war hier gegeben und das war mir persönlich zu weit weg。 Es wurde im Verlauf des Buches besser， ich verstehe auch weshalb man soweit nach hinten ging um später alles aufzuklären aber waren dennoch ganze 5。 Generationen。 Was mich hingegen sehr erfreut hat， dass es nur in der ersten Hälfte ums Segeln ging und in der zweiten Hälfte dann über das Musizieren。 Zudem wurde als Land der Herkunft diesmal Norwegen besucht。 Es ist zwar auch nicht mein absoluter Favorite aber es war trotzdem schön ein wenig über das Land， deren Sitten und Mitmenschen kennenzulernen。 Auch hier wurde am Ende wieder eine Verknüpfung zur nächsten Schwester erstellt。 。。。more

I think I enjoyed this more than 'The Seven Sisters'， the first in the series。 Ally's history takes us back to the composer Grieg， and to Norway。 Grieg also happens to be one of my favourite composers， so I suppose that's partly why I was so engrossed in the historical aspect of the book。 The more modern history was also interesting as I only recently became aware of the effect of Naziism in Norway during WW2， and， for me， this was a further insight into that。 In some ways， the story was a littl I think I enjoyed this more than 'The Seven Sisters'， the first in the series。 Ally's history takes us back to the composer Grieg， and to Norway。 Grieg also happens to be one of my favourite composers， so I suppose that's partly why I was so engrossed in the historical aspect of the book。 The more modern history was also interesting as I only recently became aware of the effect of Naziism in Norway during WW2， and， for me， this was a further insight into that。 In some ways， the story was a little predictable， but it didn't detract from my enjoyment in any way。 As with the nature of all these books， the dual timeline is a style I like， and seeing the characters grow is immensely satisfying。 On to book number three， now。 。。。more
