Lange musste ich auf den siebten Band warten, um endlich herauszufinden wer die unbekannte siebte Schwester ist. Nachdem nun neue Hinweise auf die verschwundene Schwester Merope aufgetaucht sind, machen sich die Schwestern gemeinsam auf die Suche und lässt den Leser einmal rund um die Welt reisen. It's good that I have a year to calm down after this one to the next book. Hopefully I forget a bit so I go in to it with more hope. Because if I got this far, plowing through seven books, I'll be damned if I give up on it now! From the Sunday Times No.1 bestselling author comes the latest installment in the epic multimillion-selling series, The Seven Sisters.

I am truly indebted to all those in my local community who went the extra mile to help me. I had thought that writing about my home would be an easy task, compared to writing about colonial Kenya, for example – but I discovered how complex my own people’s history was, and writing it has been one of the most enlightening experiences of my life. Gracias Lucinda por estas maravillosas novelas, de estas novelas que te hacen creer que a pesar de todo los seres humanos somos buenos, gracias por escribir de esa forma que lo haces, textos llenos de valores, mezclando ficción con realidad, palabras que hacen soñar, textos que te hacen creer que todo es posible.From the vineyards of New Zealand to the majestic landscape of Ireland, The Missing Sister is the penultimate instalment in the multimillion-selling epic Seven Sisters from Lucinda Riley. A breathtaking story of love and loss, inspired by the mythology of the famous star constellation. I’ve loved the Seven Sisters from the get-go and this latest in the series is just as great as the rest . . . As ever there’s a brilliant historical subplot You’ve revealed that the series will continue with Book 8, ‘ Atlas: The Story of Pa Salt’. Had you planned this from the very beginning? At the final part of the book, the storyline with Merry and Peter was just plain redundant. He isn't mentioned as part of her problem/inner scruples in the first half of the book, so where did he come from? Why was he necessary?

There are more questions raised in this book than were answered. We don't learn anything outside of Mary's childhood and even that story is not completed, because we still don't know her true identity. Their search will take them all over the world, but mainly to Ireland, to the time where the Irish were fighting for their independence.I found The Missing Sister enjoyable and lovely. There has always been a certain suspension of disbelief for me when I read these books -- the premise shouldn't work in a way, but I think Lucinda Riley pulled it off. The magical childhood of the girls, and then their bustling adulthoods, linking with the story of a compelling ancestor doesn't always feel realistic in one sense, yet I am able to buy into it each time. I liked all of the six sisters, some a little more than others (Star and Tiggy were my favourites from the start and remained so over the series- and to my surprise, CeCe won me over completely when I reached her book and is perhaps the sister I love most of all. Now for the positives. I have loved traveling the world with the sisters and learning about pieces of history as they learned about their past. While I did struggle with the sisters in this one, I enjoyed the historical part with Ireland's political past and their struggle for independence being the focus. Nuala and Philip's time together as well as Father O'Brien and Ambrose were the ones that kept me invested in the story. This book was very long, the longest in the series so far, and it didn't really need to be. Mary (Merry) was very irritating, and most of her whining could have been cut down a bit. I can't say that I liked her at all. I did however, love the portions of the book set in Ireland, and I loved learning more about their hardships before independence. The historical parts are always my favourite parts of these books. The Seven Sisters series sees Lucinda Riley at the top of her game: she is a magical storyteller who creates characters we fall in love with and who stay with us long after we finish reading. Her latest book, The Missing Sister, is what we’ve all been waiting for.’ The sad all time low arrives when she lets one -still breastfeeding- sister ask the other -recently pregnant- sister if she would join her in a glass of armagnac. That’s heavy stuff mind!

Het voelde heel vlak aan, ik vond dit boek in niets lijken op de vorige boeken. Met het nieuws van het overlijden van Lucinda Riley, doet het me vermoeden dat hier misschien al wel een ghostwriter aan het werk is geweest... It read like she wrote a fanfiction of her own book. Almost every noun had an adjective and at certain points I was rolling my eyes about it. Women need a partner to be happy, right? It doesn't matter Merry has two healthy children, a succesful business, inner peace now Bobby is no longer a threat and reconnected in only positive ways with her siblings. No, girl needs a man. I have just read about Riley’s death and am so sad that we’ve lost such a talented author. Even though her last two novels in this series have not been my favorites… very, very thankful that she was able to write her final novel about her beloved Ireland. I will happily recommend her novels to all HF lovers as she was one of the best in the genre.La verdad es que el principio me costó... tanto perseguir a Merry de un país a otro y ella obcecada sin escuchar. Me tenia más interesada la historia dd Nuala. Pero desde que Merry llega a Irlanda la cosa cambió y ya fue un no parar de leer. Qué niño más bueno —dijo Ambrose—. Y con ese pelo moreno como su papá. —Yo esperaba que fuese rubio como yo, para no ser la única de la familia —comentó ella—. Katie dice que es porque soy la hermana más pequeña. A Dios se le acabó el color, y por eso tengo el pelo tan claro. Dass hier auch dauerhaft nur versucht wird Spannung mit „…das erzähle ich später“ aufzubauen fand ich beim dritten Mal nur noch nervtötend. Eigentlich hätte ich es abbrechen sollen, aber irgendwie habe ich dann teilweise auch wenig aufmerksam zu Ende gehört, während ich so spannende Dinge wie den haushalt erledigt habe. Although I generally enjoy this series,I thought this last book was unnecessary dragging on in places,and I could not believe

THE MISSING SISTER | Lucinda Riley

The writting is just a bit off for me. Everything is just made with dialogues without even detailed descriptions of the places nor the feelings of every character. They have been to this island I never heard of near NZ and had no clue how beautiful it is because the writer didnt even focus on writing about it. Every places they hunted Mary down, it felt like they all just passed by just so the plot can say, "they searched the whole world for her". How can the sisters not see how somebody they don't know gets scared when you follow them around the globe and hunts them down don't want anything to do with you, when they don't even have any useful information to give to her. Why do you think she wants anything to do with you?! What have you to offer? A connection to a family that you, if you are like the other sisters, don't have any connection to because you didn't grow up with them and are not related to what so ever? A boat trip to say goodbye to somebody you didn't even know?! You are the "missing sister" but that dosen't mean anything to you because you already have a loving family. gha! And you just hunts her around, scaring the shit out of her only thinking about yourself and your own feelings. And don't get me started on the cringey over explanatory dialogues..... vond ik dat het erg lang duurde voor je concrete informatie kreeg. Volgens mij rond blz 400 pas? Het hele boek voelde overdreven gerekt aan. Ook merk je als lezer dat er bewust informatie wordt achtergehouden/vaag wordt gehouden, en daar kan ik ook slecht tegen. Conversations mostly are rather surreal and unbelievable. In the space of like three scentences two complete strangers manage to convince a 22 year old girl she’s their long lost sister based on the fact that her mother owns a ring. Instantly the girl lets them stay for the night and they’re best friends for life.Ik heb zo'n 500 blz gelezen. Ik hoef er 'nog maar' 150. Maar, er zijn zo veel andere boeken die ik nog wil lezen waar ik wél leesplezier uit haal. We now know that there is going to be a book 8. ‘ Atlas – The Story of Pa Salt’. What can you tell us about it and how does it feel to know that this eight-year adventure is coming to an end?
