I loved reading about all the sisters again, and where their lives have taken them since the end of their stories. The previous books each place one sister in the spotlight with the others playing minor roles. It’s also the first one where all the sisters play a major part. Why read it?Ī lot of the threads left hanging in the previous six books come together in this one. And, a different idea of who the missing sister might be starts to emerge. As the storylines start to merge, we get the full picture. There are also flashback chapters where we learn more about Merry’s heritage. The story of why Merry is so afraid weaves through this main storyline. But, for some reason she is afraid of them and keeps slipping from their grasp. Each of the sisters take a turn to try and track down Merry. Merry has however taken the ring with her on a “Grand Tour” after the death of Jock. They believe the missing sister is Mary-Kate, a young woman adopted by Merry and Jock McDougal. A distinctive star-shaped ring is their only clue. Following a series of clues, they believe they have found her in New Zealand. Of course, they would love to have their missing sister Merope there. The six sisters will gather to lay a wreath for Pa Salt on the place they believe he was buried at sea. From New Zealand to England, Canada to Ireland, and of course Atlantis in Switzerland. The action takes place all over the world. So, a thread running through all the novels is: where is Merope, the seventh sister? The Missing Sister answers this question in mesmerizing fashion. Each book then focuses on one woman and her journey of self-discovery.Įven though the title of the series is The Seven Sisters, there are only SIX. He left a clue for each of the women to where they came from. In the first book, we learn that Pa Salt has recently passed away. They grew up in luxury in Switzerland on an estate called Atlantis. They were all adopted as babies from all over the world by the mysterious Pa Salt. In a nutshell, the story revolves around six young women, Maia, Ally, CeCe, Star, Tiggy and Electra.
That said, this is an amazing series of books that takes the reader on an unforgettable journey.
So, I would firstly recommend that you read the preceding six books before flicking open The Missing Sister. This book is number seven in a series called The Seven Sisters (I’m going to write about each book in future posts).
