About this listen

The Seven Sisters is the story that began it all. An epic tale of love and loss, it tells the stories of the D’Aplièse sisters, all adopted as babies by the enigmatic billionaire they affectionately call Pa Salt.

Read by Tuppence Middleton (Thirty Days in Paris, The Doll Factory).


This is Maia’s story. When Pa Salt dies suddenly, the bereaved sisters gather together at their childhood home, a spectacular secluded castle on the shores of Lake Geneva. Each of them is handed a tantalising clue to their heritage and Maia finds herself on a journey across the world to a crumbling mansion in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Eighty years earlier, Izabela Bonifacio’s father has aspirations for her to marry into the aristocracy. But Izabela longs for adventure, and convinces him to allow her to first travel to Paris. In the heady, vibrant streets of the city, Izabela meets an ambitious young sculptor, and knows at once that her life will never be the same again.

What links these two young women? In the beautiful city of Rio, will Maia find the answers she needs to understand who she truly is?

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.

Critic Reviews

A brilliant page-turner just soaked in glamour and romance
Riley is one of the strongest authors in this genre of historical fiction . . . excellent historical detail, heart-wrenching romance, and an engaging mystery (Historical Novel Society)
Like the famous statue that brought the lovers together and hovers over Rio today, the story is elegantly sculpted and rich with history (Library Journal, USA)

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.

Great story!

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!

I absolutely love this book. It was sentimental, reflective and just beautiful to read. I love the main character and her point of you and jumping back in time to follow her family heritage. Can’t wait to meet the next book in the series.

So beautiful
