In doing so, they will slowly unearth a story of love, strength and sacrifice that began almost one hundred years ago, as other brave young women risk everything to change the world around them.

Smagi knygutė smegenims pravėdinti. Gal buvo kiek per daug aprašymų ir detalių, kurios pasirodė nereikalingos ir vietomis jau erzino, bet Jefferies savo darbą atliko ir aš pailsėjau nuo pasaulio, darbo, minčių. How can you know he will be there? You two haven’t talked in ages! He’s a Death Eater now, it’s dangerous! He can hurt you!” Me too.” Lily answered and turned her face to him, only to find him already looking at her, “I wish—I wish you could come.” Lily whispered and she saw that at least he tried to mask the displeasure. From the vineyards of New Zealand to the majestic landscape of Ireland, The Missing Sister is the penultimate instalment in the multimillion-selling epic Seven Sisters from Lucinda Riley. A breathtaking story of love and loss, inspired by the mythology of the famous star constellation.The Missing Sister is another excellent historical fiction novel by this extremely talented author. I have loved everything Dinah Jefferies has written, and this one didn’t disappoint. Strong characters, mystery, intrigue and danger all blended with fascinating details of Burma and surrounds. Always well written, I have no hesitation in highly recommending The Missing Sister to fans of historical fiction.

Inside the house, everything was the same as the day she came to collect her father’s things, a few months ago. Lily let go of Severus’ hand and climbed the stairs to her room. He stayed behind, leaving her to have a few moments on her own. They almost got themselves expelled.” Lily pointed out and didn’t add about Sirius almost getting Severus killed, “anyway, we are almost there.” You shouldn’t be here, you know it’s dangerous for you,” Severus said quietly. It dawned on Lily then, how much she had missed this tone of his, the watchful and worried tone he used to use when she replied to Barty Jr.'s and Mulciber's taunts. Not the drawling, patronizing one he’d use by the end of their school years. Belle Hatton has embarked upon an exciting new a glamorous job as a nightclub singer in 1930s Burma. But she's haunted by a family mystery - a 25-year-old newspaper clipping found in her deceased parents' belongings about the disappearance of their baby daughter, Elvira.

There were parts of the story set in Cheltenham with Diana’s story which worked well too, but it was Burma that really captivated me. The contrast between two such different places was nicely done! Kiekvienas žmogus pats atsakingas už savo išgelbėjimą, kad ir kaip būtų pabrėžiama bendruomenės svarba. The owl appeared late at night and left just as suddenly, he recognised the handwriting immediately and ripped open the envelope.

As the series follows each sister as they delve into their ancestry, readers believe that Pa Salt is a ‘hidden’ character in the books. Many have debated about #whoispasalt, but of course, I can neither confirm nor deny anything! I can only promise that more will be revealed in book seven. And I have recently been on a journey, following in the footsteps of the missing sister . . . Although I have all of Dinah Jefferies' previous novels on my bookcase, The Missing Sister is the first I've read. I was transported to another time and place with the author's beautiful, vivid descriptions. It felt authentic - I could smell the spices in the marketplace and feel the sun's heat beating down on me. The expressive and faultless writing will stay with me for a very long time. He’s right there.” Mary pointed and Lily’s heart skipped a beat. She didn’t want to admit it out loud, but she was secretly afraid he wouldn’t come. I thought this was a great piece of historical romantic fiction and it's opened my eyes to the possibility that actually yes, I maybe do kind of like this genre after all. I receive thousands of reader letters a year, asking me to reveal the secrets of the series – where is the missing sister? Is Pa Salt actually alive? Who is Pa Salt and why did he adopt his daughters in the first place?To the rest of the world Belle Hatton is an aspiring singer who's found herself in the beautiful country of Burma. The full truth is that Bella is seeking to fill the absence in her life: to find the sister she only recently discovered she had. It seems there are some who are none too pleased by her motivations and are keen to hinder her.

I could clearly visualise the setting in my head, the bustling streets crowded with people going about their daily lives. The colourful and vibrant trees humming with wildlife. The villagers eking out an existence in the countryside and the stunning temples amidst jungle vegetation. But in contrast is the luxurious hotels and specific areas for the British where opulence is always on show. It seems they didn't ingratiate themselves with the locals rather instead they brought a slice of Britain to foreign shores and with that a secret that has been buried deep for so many years and one which Belle is determined to solve. Lucinda was born in Lisburn, County Down, and spent her first few years in the nearby village of Drumbeg. Her mother, Jane (nee Cottham), and great-aunt had been professional actors, her grandmother was an opera singer and her great-uncle was chief lighting designer at the Royal Opera House. The mystery element of the novel was slightly predictable. The setting was beautiful. The storyline about Belle’s mother Diana and how she fell under suspicion, was an interesting angle.

But now that both of her parents are dead, going through their personal things, she discovered a newspaper clipping describing the day Elvira, only 3 weeks old at the time, vanished from the family garden in Rangoon.
