The Shadow Sister

Two women, a century apart, find the courage to step out of the shadows.
Reading guide
The publisher's blurb places this as the third Seven Sisters novel, following The Seven Sisters and The Storm Sister, so reading those first will give you the family background.
Star, in her late twenties, follows her late father's clue to an antiquarian bookshop in London. As she learns more about Flora's life in the Lake District and London, she begins her own journey of discovery and starts to find her own voice.

Description

Star D'Aplièse has always stood quietly beside her sister CeCe, rarely speaking for herself. When the death of her adoptive father, the elusive billionaire known as Pa Salt, leaves her a clue to her true heritage, she follows it to an antiquarian bookshop in London and into a world she never expected. The novel is the third in Lucinda Riley's Seven Sisters series, following The Seven Sisters and The Storm Sister, and it draws on the mythology of the Seven Sisters constellation.

A hundred years earlier, Flora MacNichol is determined never to marry. She is content in the Lake District, close to her idol Beatrix Potter, until events beyond her control draw her into the London home of one of Edwardian society's most notorious figures. Riley moves between Star's present day and Flora's story, weaving them together into a warm, absorbing family saga with history at its heart.
