The Sun Sister

From the Sunday Times No. 1 Bestselling author comes the latest instalment in an epic multi-million selling series, The Seven Sisters.

In the lavish and intoxicating world of international modelling, Electra D'Aplièse stands as one of the most sought-after faces. With her striking beauty, impressive wealth, and significant fame, she appears to embody the pinnacle of success. However, behind the glossy exterior, Electra grapples with deep personal turmoil. The recent death of her father, Pa Salt, the mysterious billionaire who adopted her and her six sisters from various corners of the world, has destabilised her already fragile mental state.

Unable to cope with her grief and the immense pressure of her career, Electra turns to alcohol and drugs as an escape, worrying those closest to her. Amid this turbulent period, she unexpectedly receives a letter from a woman claiming to be her grandmother. This powerful revelation sets Electra on a journey of self-discovery and healing, guiding her through layers of her family's hidden past.

The narrative takes readers back to 1939, to a time when Cecily Huntley-Morgan arrives in Kenya seeking solace from a broken heart. On the stunning shores of Lake Naivasha, Cecily stays with her godmother, a prominent member of the notorious Happy Valley set. Here, she encounters Bill Forsythe, a dashing bachelor and cattle farmer with strong ties to the proud Maasai tribe. As the threat of war looms, a sudden disaster compels Cecily to accept Bill's unexpected marriage proposal, leading her to a life of isolation in the Wanjohi Valley.

Throughout her time in this remote sanctuary, and with Bill often away, Cecily feels increasingly abandoned until she discovers a newborn baby left alone in the nearby woods. This moment of revelation brings with it a series of events that will reshape her destiny and intertwine with Electra's life in unimaginable ways.

The Sun Sister is the sixth breathtaking instalment in Lucinda Riley's celebrated series, The Seven Sisters. The book intricately weaves together past and present, examining themes of identity, grief, and resilience.

Dazzlingly good.' – Lucy Foley, bestselling author of The Hunting Party
