In this video, Lucinda explains how she was inspired to write The Seven Sisters series and how she realised Brazil was key to Maia's story. Maia's defences must come down if she is to discover her connection to Brazilian beauty Izabela Bonifacio, and finds love in the passionate city of Rio de Janeiro. But, with her extraordinary grasp of languages, Maia's attachment to home hinders her potential, until she discovers the clue left to her by the sisters' late adoptive father, Pa Salt. Deeply affected by events in her early adulthood, she has withdrawn from the world to protect her damaged heart. The eldest of the adoptive sisters, Maia, with her shiny, brown hair, perfect skin and huge expressive eyes, known as the beauty of the family. So now, I hid it away, which meant hiding myself.'
‘I knew that my ‘gift' of beauty had helped to bring about the most painful moment of my life, simply because I was too naive at the time to understand the power it wielded. Here is a quick guide to the sisters whose stories I have written so far. And some sisters might even surprise you. Just like in life, you're bound to identify with a particular sister more than the others, but that's the part of the fun. I hope you enjoy getting to know the seven sisters in this series, each of them different and remarkable in their own way. The Seven Sisters series unashamedly celebrates the endless search for love, and explores the devastating consequences when it is lost to us. I wanted to celebrate the achievements of women, especially in the past, where so often their contribution to making our world the place it is today has been overshadowed by the documented achievements of men.īut of course, we all need love not necessarily in the traditional form of marriage and children, but I believe it to be the life source without which we humans wither and die. I was very attracted to the fact that each one of the mythological sisters was, according to their legends, a unique and strong female. When I first had the idea of writing a series of books based on the Seven Sisters of the Pleiades, I had no idea where it would lead me.
