Seven Sisters

The Seven Sisters by Lucinda Riley Maia D’Apliese and her
five sisters gather together at their childhood home
“Atlantis”—a fabulous secluded castle situated on the
shores of Lake Geneva—having been told that their beloved
father who adopted them all as babies has died. Each of
them is handed a tantalizing clue to her true heritage—a
clue which takes Maia across the world to a crumbling
mansion in Rio de Janeiro Brazil. Once there she begins to
put together the pieces of her story and its beginnings.
Eighty years earlier in Rio’s Belle Epoque of the 1920s
Izabela Bonifacio’s father has aspirations for his
daughter to marry into the aristocracy. Meanwhile
architect Heitor da Silva Costa is devising plans for an
enormous statue to be called Christ the Redeemer and will
soon travel to Paris to find the right sculptor to
complete his vision. Izabela—passionate and longing to see
the world—convinces her father to allow her to accompany
him and his family to Europe before she is married. There
at Paul Landowski’s studio and in the heady vibrant cafes
of Montparnasse she meets ambitious young sculptor Laurent
Brouilly and knows at once that her life will never be the
same again. In this sweeping epic tale of love and
loss—the first in a unique spellbinding series of seven
novels—Lucinda Riley showcases her storytelling talent
like never before.
