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 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 and named after the Seven
Sisters star cluster – 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, she 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 subsequently
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 . . .
