Summary
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。 Star D'Apliese is at a crossroads in her life after the sudden death of her beloved father - the elusive billionaire， named Pa Salt by his six daughters， all adopted by him from the four corners of the world。 He has left each of them a clue to their true heritage， but Star - the most enigmatic of the sisters - is hesitant to step out of the safety of the close relationship she shares with her sister CeCe。 In desperation， she decides to follow the first clue she has been left， which leads her to an antiquarian bookshop in London， and the start of a whole new world 。 。 。 A hundred years earlier， headstrong and independent Flora MacNichol vows she will never marry。 She is happy and secure in her home in the Lake District， living close to her idol， Beatrix Potter， when machinations outside of her control lead her to London， and the home of one of Edwardian society's most notorious players， Alice Keppel。 Flora is pulled between passionate love and duty to her family， but finds herself a pawn in a game - the rules of which are only known to others， until a meeting with a mysterious gentleman unveils the answers that Flora has been searching for her whole life 。 。 。 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。 Author BiographyLucinda Riley was born in Ireland， and after an early career as an actress in film， theatre and television， wrote her first book aged twenty-four。 Lucinda is currently writing The Seven Sisters series， which tells the story of adopted sisters and is based allegorically on the mythology of the famous star constellation。 The first five books， The Seven Sisters， The Storm Sister， The

I have now read The Shadow Sister， which is book 3 in the Seven Sister series by Lucinda Riley。 I think this one could be my favourite so far。 The storyline was an amazing read， the characters were interesting and intriguing and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book。 Looking forward to Book 4， but may wait a while before I carry on。 Just read books 2 & 3 back to back！！Highly recommended

Questo libro è stata una conferma dell'abilità di Lucinda Riley come narratrice， con molti colpi di scena。Questo è un libro necessariamente più intimista rispetto ai precedenti e ha molto di non detto che un lettore sensibile e attento può cogliere。Tratta temi difficili come la sessualità， l'omosessualità， la disabilità e la depressione。Gli scorci sul passato in epoca edoardiana， tra le due guerre mondiali e al termine della seconda sono favolisi。 La descrizione della natura inglese del Lake Dis Questo libro è stata una conferma dell'abilità di Lucinda Riley come narratrice， con molti colpi di scena。Questo è un libro necessariamente più intimista rispetto ai precedenti e ha molto di non detto che un lettore sensibile e attento può cogliere。Tratta temi difficili come la sessualità， l'omosessualità， la disabilità e la depressione。Gli scorci sul passato in epoca edoardiana， tra le due guerre mondiali e al termine della seconda sono favolisi。 La descrizione della natura inglese del Lake District mi ha fatto venire voglia di fare un viaggio in Inghilterra per vivere e vedere vestigia storiche e paesaggi del libro！Il non detto per me è stato un problema， ma dimostra l'abilità dell'autrice che ha saputo ricreare situazioni molto realistiche descrivendo i rapporti umani all'interno della famiglia Forbes Vaughan。 Potrebbe essere il libro che rileggerei con calma dopo avere scoperto l'intera storia delle Sette Sorelle per cercare di sviluppare la mia sensibilità riguardo ai rapporti sociali。 。。。more

Nun habe ich auch den dritten Teil der Sieben Schwestern-Reihe beendet und muss sagen， dass er für mich nicht ganz an Band 1 und 2 rankommt。 Im ersten und zweiten Teil hat mich besonders die kulturelle Geschichte der Vergangenheit beeindruckt。 Die Fakten über Kulturgüter fand ich besonders spannend und diese kamen mir bei "Die Schattenschwester" etwas zu kurz。 Natürlich war es spannend in das alte England einzutauchen und mehr über die Zeit zu erfahren aber mir fehlte noch das Tüpfelchen auf dem Nun habe ich auch den dritten Teil der Sieben Schwestern-Reihe beendet und muss sagen， dass er für mich nicht ganz an Band 1 und 2 rankommt。 Im ersten und zweiten Teil hat mich besonders die kulturelle Geschichte der Vergangenheit beeindruckt。 Die Fakten über Kulturgüter fand ich besonders spannend und diese kamen mir bei "Die Schattenschwester" etwas zu kurz。 Natürlich war es spannend in das alte England einzutauchen und mehr über die Zeit zu erfahren aber mir fehlte noch das Tüpfelchen auf dem i。Und trotzdem war das Buch sehr gut zu lesen。 Star war mir von Anfang an sympathisch und ihre Entwicklung im Laufe der Geschichte gefiel mir besonders gut。 Ich konnte sehr gut mit ihr mitfühlen und habe sie sehr gerne auf ihrem Weg begleitet。 Außerdem spielen Bücher in diesem Band eine Rolle， was sowieso immer ein Pluspunkt ist。 Cece ist mir bisher leider nicht besonders sympathisch， weshalb ich mit gemischten Gefühlen in ihre Geschichte starten werde。 Ich hoffe， dass sie mich positiv überraschen wird。"Die Schattenschwester" bekommt von mir 4 von 5 Sterne。 。。。more

Книгата ми хареса。 Обаче…。 само в частта， която се разказваше за миналото。 При нея имаше интересни обрати и историята беше многопластова。 Историята на Ася ми беше плоска и тъпа。 Определено можеше да се вкара малко повече драма， като при първите две。 Следващата изглежда по-интересна。

Obviously the book was splendid with all the different stories and timelines。 I loved Star because she surprised me。 I thought she was the kind of person with an « easy and tame » character but she was really not。 She just didn’t used spoken words。 I’m curious about reading Cece’s story because until know she seems a bit selfish 。。 And everyone， including Cece， thinks that Star needs Cece because she is a quiet person， but it is really the other way around。I gave it 4 stars because the end was a Obviously the book was splendid with all the different stories and timelines。 I loved Star because she surprised me。 I thought she was the kind of person with an « easy and tame » character but she was really not。 She just didn’t used spoken words。 I’m curious about reading Cece’s story because until know she seems a bit selfish 。。 And everyone， including Cece， thinks that Star needs Cece because she is a quiet person， but it is really the other way around。I gave it 4 stars because the end was a big too long than what I’m used to from the orher books。 。。。more

Az Árnyéknővér sajnos nincs versenyben a kedvenc kötetem a sorozatból képzeletbeli díjra， mert a szereplők közül sokat nem igazán tudtam megszeretni a hosszas semlegesség után sem （például Egér， Orlando）， ugyanakkor Flora fia és az ő későbbi szála talán a legnagyobb meglepetés volt számomra， emiatt érzelmekből jeles a regény。

As I close the last page of this book， and sigh， sad that it has come to an end， but happy that I have a few more waiting in the wings， I realise that this is quite an undertaking by Lucinda Riley。 I also realise that the whole premise actually makes for some very contrived circumstances， but it doesn't take away any of my enjoyment in the series。 This one was even better than the previous two。 It's gentler and reflects the quietest of the sisters' personality very well。 I'm not sure that Beatri As I close the last page of this book， and sigh， sad that it has come to an end， but happy that I have a few more waiting in the wings， I realise that this is quite an undertaking by Lucinda Riley。 I also realise that the whole premise actually makes for some very contrived circumstances， but it doesn't take away any of my enjoyment in the series。 This one was even better than the previous two。 It's gentler and reflects the quietest of the sisters' personality very well。 I'm not sure that Beatrix Potter's inclusion as a character is totally necessary， but it makes a lovely interlude nonetheless。 The other historical aspect， that of King Edward VII and Alice Keppel， is very interesting and had me googling for more information。 I'm now looking forward to CeCe's story， and hope I'm not disappointed as my expectation is now growing with each instalment。 。。。more

I would round this up a bit。 I really enjoyed this one！ It's probably my favorite of the series so far。 I could definitely relate to Star （ the quiet， guarded sister who loves literature and writing）。 I would round this up a bit。 I really enjoyed this one！ It's probably my favorite of the series so far。 I could definitely relate to Star （ the quiet， guarded sister who loves literature and writing）。 。。。more

Another fantastic tale from Lucinda Riley。 This book is the story of Star， the third sister， who lives in the shadow of CeCe。 Following Pa Salt's death， she finds the strength to move away and find out who she is and where she came from。The story is set in England， and we learn the story of Flora MacNichol and Beatrix Potter， which starts in the Lake District and meanders via an Antiquarian Bookshop， the King of England and Alice Keppel to Orlando and Mouse and a dilapidated stately home。Once ag Another fantastic tale from Lucinda Riley。 This book is the story of Star， the third sister， who lives in the shadow of CeCe。 Following Pa Salt's death， she finds the strength to move away and find out who she is and where she came from。The story is set in England， and we learn the story of Flora MacNichol and Beatrix Potter， which starts in the Lake District and meanders via an Antiquarian Bookshop， the King of England and Alice Keppel to Orlando and Mouse and a dilapidated stately home。Once again， the level of research for this book transports the reader to another time and place。 。。。more

Decided to re-read this series in preparation for the new one in May！ I rarely do this but I've not been disappointed， Lucinda Riley writes stories that capture your imagination and are thoroughly enjoyable。 This is Star's story and is the 3rd in the series， it tells about Flora in the Lakes and Edwardian London and how they connect。 It's fabulous！ Decided to re-read this series in preparation for the new one in May！ I rarely do this but I've not been disappointed， Lucinda Riley writes stories that capture your imagination and are thoroughly enjoyable。 This is Star's story and is the 3rd in the series， it tells about Flora in the Lakes and Edwardian London and how they connect。 It's fabulous！ 。。。more

Echt een heel leuk boek， leukste tot nog toe。 Ik had het nooit verwacht maar ik snap ineens de hype rondom De Zeven Zussen。 Maar ik kan niet meer dan 3 sterren geven。 De schrijfstijl is gewoon echt niet goed。 Leesplezier is hoog， maar kwaliteit is vrij laag。
