Publisher's Summary

To the outside world, Electra D’Aplièse seems to be the woman with everything: as one of the world’s top models, she is beautiful, rich and famous.

Yet beneath the veneer, Electra’s already tenuous control over her state of mind has been rocked by the death of her father, Pa Salt, the elusive billionaire who adopted his six daughters from across the globe. Struggling to cope, she turns to alcohol and drugs. As those around her fear for her health, Electra receives a letter from a complete stranger who claims to be her grandmother.

In 1939, Cecily Huntley-Morgan arrives in Kenya from New York to nurse a broken heart. Staying with her godmother, a member of the infamous Happy Valley set, on the shores of beautiful Lake Naivasha, she meets Bill Forsythe, a notorious bachelor and cattle farmer with close connections to the proud Maasai tribe. But after a shocking discovery and with war looming, Cecily has few options. Moving up into the Wanjohi Valley, she is isolated and alone. Until she meets a young woman in the woods and makes her a promise that will change the course of her life for ever.

Sweeping from Manhattan to the magnificent wide-open plains of Africa, The Sun Sister is the sixth instalment in Lucinda Riley’s multi-million selling epic series, The Seven Sisters.

I’m sad to say this was disappointing.

If I read this one first I would have never read the other sisters stories. The beautiful language of the first 5 sisters was not found in this book. The audio of the real time Electra was annoying and distracting. There were too many accents mixed in one and I missed the Swiss French. The old world of Africa audible was better and more believable. The Electra side of the story dragged on way too long. I will read more of this author but if this series becomes a Netflix series I hope they change up this book in film.

Not my favourite of the series

I liked the first 5 books in this series but I found the main character of this book to be annoying more than anything else. I liked the backstory better but even there I found the protagonist to be unintuitive beyond belief. I was going to stop listening but I wanted to have the whole series so I wouldn't be "lost" when listening to the final book.

Fantastic series.

I did not read this series in order and you don't need to but they do all weave together seamlessly. I rarely enjoy books as much as I have enjoyed this series. Every single one of them is fantastic! Side note: I am usually far more the critic and quite hard to please so these had to really be great.

Ended on a cliffhanger!

I enjoyed this story immensely until it ended with a cliffhanger and left me wondering if there’s another book in this series. Is there? This story cannot possibly end this way!!
