Summary

Journey to the dusty plains of Central Australia in The Pearl Sister, the fourth book in the number one bestselling Seven Sisters series by Lucinda Riley. A spellbinding story of love and loss, inspired by the mythology of the famous star constellation.

CeCe D’Aplièse, in her mid-twenties, has never felt she fitted in anywhere. Following the death of her father, the elusive billionaire Pa Salt – so-called by the six daughters he adopted from around the globe – she finds herself at breaking point. Dropping out of art college, CeCe watches as Star, her beloved sister, distances herself to follow her new love, leaving her completely alone.

In desperation, CeCe decides to flee England and discover her past; the only clues she has are a black-and-white photograph and the name of a woman pioneer who lived in Australia over one hundred years ago. En-route to Sydney, CeCe heads to the one place she has ever felt close to being herself: the stunning beaches of Krabi, Thailand. There amongst the backpackers, she meets the mysterious Ace, a man as lonely as she is and whom she realizes has a secret to hide...

A hundred years earlier Kitty McBride, daughter of an Edinburgh clergyman, is given the opportunity to travel to Australia as the companion of the wealthy Mrs McCrombie. In Adelaide, her fate becomes entwined with Mrs McCrombie’s family, including the identical, yet very different, twin brothers: impetuous Drummond, and ambitious Andrew, the heir to a pearling fortune.

When CeCe finally reaches the searing heat of the Red Centre of Australia, she begins the search for her past. As something deep within her responds to the energy of the area and the ancient culture of the Aboriginal people, her creativity reawakens once more. With help from those she meets on her journey, CeCe begins to believe that this wild, vast continent could offer her something she never thought possible: a sense of belonging, and a home...

The epic multi-million-selling series continues with The Moon Sister.

Critic reviews

'The Pearl Sister is absolutely wonderful... Lucinda enthralls and mesmerizes as she weaves the modern and the historical settings together so finely there's not a crack to be found in either the plot or the pacing.' (Random Things Through My Letterbox)

A great series

A great series of books following the lives of 7 adopted sisters. Each book is brilliantly narrated and the stories are easy listening. Sometimes they are a little over detailed but all in all they are very enjoyable and addictive. Perfect to listen to while multi tasking and the narration across all the novels is great which makes all the difference with an audio book.

Sisters book are amazing

Loved all Seven Sisters books and have read all the books up to the pearl (CC) story
About to start Tiggy’s story next
Can’t wait to listen to the audio book
the person who reads them to you has a great voice which is easy to listen to
Each book concentrates on one sister and how they find their family’s and blood lines going back in history all with stunning different backdrops. Have not been able to stop listening
And would recommend them to all
Well worth it

Another great book in series

The nattator had a pronounced very NASAL voice. Had to suffer twenty hours of it. Love the author but really bad voice choice - too nasal.

An enthralling story

A varied and fascinating story which alternates smoothly and effectively between 2 timelines. I loved the historical detail and beautifully described scenes in Australia and the blossoming of Cece into a self-confident young woman with a clearer sense of her own identity and talents.
