From the breathtaking beaches of Thailand to the barely tamed wilds of colonial Australia, The Pearl Sister is the next captivating story in New York Times bestselling author Lucinda Riley’s epic series about two women searching for a place to call home.

CeCe D’Aplièse has always felt like an outcast. But following the death of her father—the reclusive billionaire affectionately called Pa Salt by the six daughters he adopted from around the globe—she finds herself more alone than ever. With nothing left to lose, CeCe delves into the mystery of her familial origins. The only clues she holds are a black and white photograph and the name of a female pioneer who once traversed the globe from Scotland to Australia.

One hundred years earlier, Kitty McBride, a clergyman's daughter, abandoned her conservative upbringing to serve as the companion to a wealthy woman traveling from Edinburgh to Adelaide. Her ticket to a new land brings the adventure she dreamed of…and a love that she had never imagined.

When CeCe reaches the searing heat and dusty plains of the Red Centre of Australia, something deep within her responds to the energy of the area and the ancient culture of the Aboriginal people, and her soul reawakens. As she comes closer to finding the truth of her ancestry, CeCe begins to believe that this untamed, vast continent could offer her what she’s always yearned for: a sense of belonging.

The Pearl Sister

Adorei o jeito que a Lucinda Riley conta essa série e esse livro não foi excessão. Dessa vez gostei menos da protagonista, talvez porque as duas últimas me atraíram mais e tinham interesses que gostava mais, música e leitura. Mesmo assim, o livro é muito interessante e dessa vez conta a história da Austrália, da indústria de pérolas, que gostei muito, principalmente da história dos parentes antigos. A história do tempo atual também gostei muito, principalmente como ela vai dialogando com as das outras irmãs, e as aventuras e lugares vividos pela protagonista.
