A wonderfully surprising, inventive and deeply moving riff on fact and fiction, history and imagination from one of New Zealand's finest and most memorable storytellers. There has never been a New Zealand novel quite like The Parihaka Woman. Richly imaginative and original, weaving together fact and fiction, it sets the remarkable story of Erenora against the historical background of the turbulent and compelling events that occurred in Parihaka during the 1870s and 1880s.

Publisher's Summary
A sweeping tale of love and loss, the epic saga of the Seven Sisters begins here. From Lucinda Riley, the international number one bestselling author.
Read by Tuppence Middleton (Thirty Days in Paris, The Doll Factory).
Maia D’Aplièse, in her early thirties, gathers together with her five sisters at their childhood home: a fabulous, secluded castle situated on the shores of Lake Geneva. They have been told that their beloved adoptive father, the elusive billionaire they call Pa Salt, has died.
Each of them is handed a tantalising clue to their true heritage – a clue which takes Maia across the world to a crumbling mansion in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil . . .
Eighty years earlier, in the Belle Époque of Rio, 1927, Izabela Bonifacio’s father has aspirations for his daughter to marry into aristocracy. But Izabela longs for adventure, and convinces him to allow her to accompany the family of a renowned architect on a trip to Paris. In the heady, vibrant streets of Montparnasse, she meets ambitious young sculptor Laurent Brouilly, and knows at once that her life will never be the same again.
The Seven Sisters is the first book in the spellbinding Seven Sisters series, inspired by the mythology of the famous star constellation. It is followed by The Storm Sister.

Great story!
A slow start, but a great story that kept me interested, and well narrated. I enjoyed the duality of the stories of Maia and Izabela. While there were parts that were predictable, there were enough twists to keep me engaged and wondering what would happen next. I'm thinking the rest of the series will take me to different countries at other important historical points in time, which will be interesting too.

Unexpected
After reading so many similar books; political biographies, self help/self esteem, detective murder mysteries and predictable romance novels- I found this so refreshing.
It was a mix of mystery, love, history- exotic and intriguing. I get the hype and I’m hooked!

What a delight to escape into this book
I haven’t had the time to read or listen to books this year so when I made the effort to do so, this book was a great choice.
I had heard this series of books recommended several times and I know why.
The author is ingenious in keeping you living in the story. I kept looking forward to the next time I could pick it up for my next fix.
The narration and accents were so well done.
I won’t hesitate to listen to book 2 in the series.
Congratulations, I so enjoyed it, thank you !

Captivating story, beautiful narration.
Overall an exceptionally beautiful and captivating novel which I thoroughly enjoyed. The narration was near perfection, there were a few occasions when the characters accents did appear a little overdone and not particularly pleasing to the ear however it had minimal impact on my enjoyment of the story as a whole. I look forward to starting book two.
