From the #1 Australian and New Zealand bestselling author, Lucinda Riley.
Lucinda Riley was born in 1965 in Ireland, and after an early
career as an actress in film, theatre and television, wrote her
first book aged twenty-four. Her books have been translated into
thirty-seven languages and continue to strike an emotional chord
with all cultures around the world. The Seven Sisters series
specifically has become a global phenomenon, creating its own
genre, and there are plans to create a seven-season TV series.
Her books have been nominated for numerous awards, including the
Italian Bancarella prize, The Lovely Books award in Germany, and
the Romantic Novel of the Year award. In 2020 she received the
Dutch Platinum award for sales over 300,000 copies for a single
novel in one year - an award last won by J K Rowling for Harry
Potter.
In collaboration with her son Harry Whittaker, she also devised a
series of books for children called The Guardian Angels series,
based on stories told to her children whenever they were facing a
challenging situation. Harry then wrote the books, and they are now
being published internationally.
Though she brought up her four children mostly in Norfolk in
England, in 2015 she fulfilled her dream of buying a remote
farmhouse in West Cork, Ireland, which she always felt was her
spiritual home, and indeed this was where her last five books were
written.
Lucinda was diagnosed with cancer in 2017 and died on June 11th
2021, surrounded by her family.
Lucinda Riley turns up the heat – in more ways than one – in the
sixth, sizzling and penultimate installment of her thrilling Seven
Sisters series. The Sun Sister is her most dazzling, daring, and
deeply insightful novel yet.
