Continuing The Seven Sisters series, Lucinda Riley this time tells the story of CeCe D'Apliese, who launches a search for her origins on a plane bound for Thailand and eventually winds up in the Never Never lands of Australia. Parallel with CeCe's story, is the story of Kitty McBride, an 18-year-old Scottish clergyman's daughter who lived 100 years earlier but also wound up in Australia. The step-by-step revelations of how these two stories are connected make this book a real page-turner.
For CeCe, an artist currently unable to create, it's a recent and hurtful break with her sister and soulmate, Star, that begins her search for her family of origin. For Kitty, it's the sudden disillusionment with a beloved family member that sends her show more halfway across the world. Along the way readers explore the once lucrative natural pearl industry that once made fortunes for a handful of white families in Australia, a financial trading scandal in London, and some of the spiritual beliefs that live in Aboriginal cultures.
Both CeCe and Kitty eventually find contentment in their lives but not without lots of rocky experiences with love, tragedy, racism, and betrayal. Well worth the investment of time. show less

I really enjoyed ‘The Pearl Sister’, the fourth in Lucinda Riley’s Seven Sisters adoption mysteries. While Maia, Ally and Star have already investigated their birth stories, Celaeno, CeCe, has shown no interest in her own. She is feeling sorry for herself, alone now that Star has become independent. Until her curiosity is piqued. Pa Salt’s lawyer tells her about a bequest, a large sum of money, and a photograph of two unidentified men. He advises CeCe to investigate Kitty Mercer from Broome in Australia.
On her journey to Australia, CeCe stops off in Thailand, staying at Railey Beach where she has holidayed in the past with Star. As she wonders why she is there alone, feeling envious of Star’s new home and new love in England, show more she meets a mysterious man on the beautiful beach. They bond over the morning sunrise, both are hurting - CeCe is missing Star and feeling betrayed by her sister’s newfound life, while Ace is hiding a big secret he cannot, or will not, explain. Riley hints that behind the beauty of Railey Beach there is a dark, sordid side. Could Ace be involved in drugs? Then when CeCe steps off the plane in Australia, she discovers Ace has been arrested and believes CeCe betrayed him to the press. As the journalists identify CeCe’s name and location, she runs away to Broome.
As with all the earlier novels in the series, the story of ‘The Pearl Sister’ is told in two strands. CeCe is in 2008, Kitty Mercer’s story starts in 1906. The eldest daughter of a Edinburgh preacher, Kitty goes on a nine month trip to Australia as companion to the wealthy Mrs McCrombie. It changes Kitty’s life. She drinks alcohol for the first time, kisses a man, and acts immodestly in ways that would shock her clergyman father. Two men, twin brothers, pay attention to her. Drummond is the dangerous brother, the one who kisses her. But Kitty reverts to type by marrying the steady, safe, Andrew Mercer, and moves to Broome where he runs the family’s pearl fishing company for his father.
I found Kitty’s story enthralling, she is a true rebel at a time when women were finding their feet and their voices. She has a way of identifying people needing help. Along her life’s journey she collects waifs and strays, rescuing them from hunger, mistreatment, poverty and racism, giving them opportunities, security and winning their loyalty. Each of them comes to play a critical role in Kitty’s life; from Camira, the pregnant Aboriginal servant girl thrown from the house by her master, to Sarah, the fifteen year old orphan met on a boat from England who has a gift with the sewing needle.
Australia the country and the lives and customs of its Aboriginal people are a dominant presence throughout this novel. Be warned, it will make you want to visit. Throughout it all runs the enticing descriptions of Aboriginal art, by real artists such as Albert Namatjira who lived and worked at the Hermannsburg Lutheran Mission outside Alice Springs, which CeCe visits.
The loose ends come together in the end though Riley did keep me guessing on a couple of the links. The significance of Ace and CeCe’s time in Thailand was one such puzzle. These are all hefty books, but I read this one quickly. It’s my favourite of the series so far which seems to get better with every book.

I have so far read all the books published in this series except the second one and it's such a wonderful series. I really love how reach book takes one of the sisters through a journey, not only to a faraway country, like Australia in this book, but also a journey into the past.
The best dual storyline books are the ones where both tales are equally interesting and Lucinda Riley has managed to achieve that with this book. I loved how the contemporary story first takes the reader to Thailand and then to Australia as CeCe searches for clues to her past. One thing I really liked was that the expected love story didn't occur. I'm always pleased when a writer managed to surprise me and I'm delighted with the way the storyline took when it show more came to CeCe's private life.
The second storyline, the one set a century before with Kitty McBride traveling from Edinburgh to Adelaide, it was just as interesting, although the romantic part in this storyline was a much more expected. Still, I love getting a story set in Australia, learning more about the Aboriginal people and the unjust treatment they got. If there is one subject that always makes my blood boil is the white man's treatment of the natives in whatever land they set their eyes on.
I want to end this review by saying that the books don't need to be read in order, yes it's probably wise to read from the beginning, but you quickly get to hang on the story, the background for all the adoptions, etc. in each book. The different sisters make appearances in each other's stories and I quite liked that since I grew fond of each sister I get to know.
I want to thank Pan Macmillan for providing me with a free copy through Netgalley for an honest review! show less

This is the fourth book in The Seven Sisters series to which I am listening on my morning walks.
Six girls were adopted by Pa Salt, an ultra-wealthy man. After he dies, each daughter is given a letter and a clue to her true heritage. Each daughter’s journey is the subject of a novel. The Pearl Sister is the story of the fourth daughter, CeCe.
CeCe needs to go to Australia to find her family, but she stops in Thailand for an extended stay where a mysterious man named Ace befriends her. When she resumes her travels and continues to Australia, she learns about Kitty McBride and the Mercer family whose enterprises included pearling in Western Australia. She also discovers a possible connection to the Aboriginals; her exposure to their show more culture reawakens her artistic creativity.
The structure is the same as that of the previous books. There’s the present where CeCe sets out to find her origins which are somehow connected to Kitty Mercer. The narrative in the past focuses on Kitty McBride who leaves Scotland, marries into the Mercer family, and moves to Broome with her husband who is in charge of the family’s pearling interests. Kitty encounters indigenous peoples and hates how they are regarded and treated by the European colonists. As with the other books, there’s more focus on distant ancestors like a great-great-grandmother than on a mother. Wouldn’t CeCe be more interested in her mother’s story? In the novel, her mother’s story is almost an afterthought.
CeCe is not my favourite sister. She comes across as whiny. She has had a privileged upbringing and has been able to travel the world. Yet she is always feeling sorry for herself and complaining how no one understands her and her art. She does seem to experience some personal growth, but I found I didn’t really care. One thing that bothered me is the portrayal of her dyslexia which seems to be equated with a lack of education: CeCe doesn’t know the word genocide and has never heard of Darwin?
As with the other books, I enjoyed the historical information I gleaned: the pearling industry in Australia, Aboriginal culture and art, and the mistreatment of the Indigenous Peoples (which has so many unfortunate parallels with Canada’s treatment of its First Nations peoples). I found myself researching the art of Albert Namatjira.
What I did not enjoy is the forbidden love stories and the love-at-first-sight tropes which appear in all the books. Coincidence is certainly overused in this novel so that it is difficult to suspend disbelief. A child is found in the Outback by a relative unaware of his existence? A pearl which is cursed keeps cropping up, even in CeCe’s timeline? And the entire section set in Thailand seems irrelevant and could be omitted.
As I’ve stated in previous reviews of this series, I will continue listening to these books on my morning walks because they provide pure escapism that allows my easily distracted mind to wander.

One of the best books in the series, I loved the Australian connection, some of which is set in an area in which I have travelled. I truly magical place, and I am unsurprised I enjoyed the novel so much.
The Seven Sisters Book 4
Lucinda Riley has been one of my favourite authors since I came across the first book in this series The Seven Sisters and I have gone on since to read all of her books to date and although The Seven Sisters is still my favourite so far, none of her books have been a disappointment which is a huge credit to her writing.
I had this book pre ordered for months and couldn’t wait for publication day which seemed to take forever to come around! I also for the first time in several months took time off from my pile of TBR books that I’m working my way through in exchange for reviews to indulge myself with this book and it was well worth it! (The only other book to deviate me from my pile has been Stephen King’s show more Sleeping Beauties)
This is CeCe’s story. Up until now CeCe was my least favourite sister and no matter how much I was anticipating this book I wasn’t expecting to become as invested in the story as much as I had been with the others, especially Ally D’Aplièse’s story in book 2, but I was rooting for CeCe just as much about half way in! As she starts to come out of her shell and gain confidence in herself her true character starts to shine.
Having never felt she fitted in anywhere and watching her closest sister Star follow the clues left by their deceased father Pa Salt and discover her identity and new-found love CeCe decides to try to discover her own past with the hope of finding her own place that she belongs.
The story is told from two different view points as well as two different times, CeCe in 2008 and Kitty McBride a hundred years earlier in 1906. And despite the two significantly different periods the story flows effortlessly.
CeCe begins her travels in Krabi, Thailand where she meets Ace, who like herself is lonely and out-of-place. He helps her begin her journey of discovery from the clues left for her by Pa Salt but it soon becomes apparent that Ace has a secret he is hiding.
From Thailand she follows the clues to Sydney in Australia and meets some amazing characters along the way.
1906 Kitty McBride is the daughter of an Edinburgh clergyman that finds herself in Australia as the companion of the wealthy Mrs McCrombie. And it is in this new Land of Opportunity that she meets twin brothers, Drummond and Andrew, who is the heir to a pearling company. Andrew and Kitty are soon wed and she finds herself living in the isolated town of Broome and her story is also one of self-discovery as well as the trials hardships of living in the Australian outback in a pioneering age.
I loved CeCe but I think I loved Kitty more, she is an inspiration to women of all ages.
As the two women’s stories become entwined the conncection becomes apparent in a brilliant way and although the series still leaves some unanswered questions these women stories are left with a happy ending.
Now comes the extremely long wait for Tiggy’s story and just to warn you, this book leaves her in a place that makes the wait for us even longer!!!
If you havent read the other three books in the series this book will still be good as a stand alone but I can’t recommend reading the others high enough. All four are brilliant in their own rights. show less
