Now we’re onto Electra’s story. Hers bounces back and forth between present day New York City and Kenya during WWII. She’s the youngest and didn’t seem to have the best relationship with her sisters. I’m glad to learn that there was hope for Electra to come into her own and find her voice.

Ja… Wat zal ik zeggen? Dit is niet helemaal mijn ding, maar ik voel de vibe wel.
Ik keek het minst uit naar dit boek, maar gelukkig kreeg het boek een hele mooie en belangrijke twist mee. Wel blijft het voor mij te langdradig.

Book 1 of 2025 finished 2/1/2025
Book 6 of the Seven Sisters series
Electra D’Apliese is a successful, rich, beautiful model with an amazing lifestyle who appears to have everything but secretly she is battling with addiction fueled by grief and the pressure of her job. When a woman claiming to be related to her gets in contact it’s enough to send her over the edge. But once Stella starts to tell Electra her ancestors story Electra can’t deny their bond.
My thoughts: I really like this series but I found this one to be the least enjoyable. I found the pace to be quite slow and despite learning about her ancestors we don’t actually learn about Electra’s mum until right at the end of the book. I found myself checking how long I had left rather than just enjoying the journey.
Electra has a complete change of character within an extremely short time period which I found unrealistic and I also didn’t think she was very likeable so I wasn’t invested in her story. Despite not overly enjoying this book I am looking forward to finding out where the seventh book will lead.

So, this is what I know, as a reader, I will get from Lucinda Riley’s Seven Sisters series. I will get more than one story. I will get a number of interesting historical settings, mainly based on real experiences and often real people. The website will give me more information, so I can follow trails that interest me. It will be academically researched, with attention to women’s voices and experiences. It will be beautifully written. I won’t mind spending 26hours listening to the audiobook.
This books focuses on Electra - supermodel, junkie, alcoholic, self-absorbed and very rich. The story focuses on how she changes as life impacts on her. The secondary stories take you to Manhattan in the 1920s, Britain in 1939, Kenya and then back to the Manhattan of the 1960s and the Civil Rights Movement.
Another fascinating novel. Onwards- to book 7!

Pidän sarjasta paljon, mutta tämä osa ei ihan lähtenyt. Taustatarina oli yllätyksettömyydestä huolimatta mukaansatempaava ja koskettavakin, mutta Electran osuus eli nykyhetki ei oikein toiminut. Tarinaan oli ympätty mukaan vähän liikaa kaikkea, ja näin ollen monet elementit jäivät pintaraapaisun tasolle. Tiiliskivi-luokan koosta huolimatta kokonaisuus jäi aika pinnalliseksi.
