Beskrivelse

The Pearl Sister, the fourth installment in Lucinda Riley's bestselling Seven Sisters series, follows CeCe D'Apliese as she embarks on a journey to uncover her roots. Struggling with loss and loneliness, CeCe sets off from England to explore her past and find where she truly belongs.

A heartfelt tale of self-discovery, family secrets, and the search for home across continents and generations.

CeCe D'Apliese has always felt out of place. After the death of Pa Salt, the mysterious billionaire who adopted her and her six sisters from around the world, CeCe reaches a breaking point. She drops out of art college and watches her sister Star drift away, leaving her isolated. In a bid to find herself, CeCe decides to leave England behind and trace her heritage, armed only with a black-and-white photograph and the name of a pioneering woman from Australia over a century ago.

Before heading to Sydney, CeCe stops at the beautiful beaches of Krabi, Thailand, a place where she feels closest to being herself. There, she crosses paths with Ace, a man as solitary as she is, who harbors his own secrets.

Meanwhile, a century earlier, Kitty McBride, daughter of a clergyman from Edinburgh, embarks on a journey to Australia as the companion to the wealthy Mrs. McCrombie. In Adelaide, Kitty's life becomes intertwined with the McCrombie family, including the twin brothers Drummond and Andrew, one impulsive, the other ambitious and heir to a pearling empire.

When CeCe finally arrives in the harsh yet captivating landscapes of Australia’s Red Centre, she feels a deep connection to the land and its ancient Aboriginal culture. This connection sparks a revival of her creativity and hope. With the support of new friends she meets along the way, CeCe begins to believe that this vast and wild continent might just offer her the belonging and home she has long sought.
