It is the summer of 1940. Nineteen-year-old Vivian Morris arrives in New York with her suitcase and sewing machine, exiled by her despairing parents. Although her quicksilver talents with a needle and commitment to mastering the perfect hair roll have been deemed insufficient for her to pass into her sophomore year of Vassar, she soon finds gainful employment as the self-appointed seamstress at the Lily Playhouse, her unconventional Aunt Peg's charmingly disreputable Manhattan revue theatre.

Publisher's Summary
To the outside world, Electra D’Aplièse seems to be the woman with everything: as one of the world’s top models, she is beautiful, rich and famous.
Yet beneath the veneer, Electra’s already tenuous control over her state of mind has been rocked by the death of her father, Pa Salt, the elusive billionaire who adopted his six daughters from across the globe. Struggling to cope, she turns to alcohol and drugs. As those around her fear for her health, Electra receives a letter from a complete stranger who claims to be her grandmother.
In 1939, Cecily Huntley-Morgan arrives in Kenya from New York to nurse a broken heart. Staying with her godmother, a member of the infamous Happy Valley set, on the shores of beautiful Lake Naivasha, she meets Bill Forsythe, a notorious bachelor and cattle farmer with close connections to the proud Maasai tribe. But after a shocking discovery and with war looming, Cecily has few options. Moving up into the Wanjohi Valley, she is isolated and alone. Until she meets a young woman in the woods and makes her a promise that will change the course of her life for ever.
Sweeping from Manhattan to the magnificent wide-open plains of Africa, The Sun Sister is the sixth instalment in Lucinda Riley’s multi-million selling epic series, The Seven Sisters.

I can't listen to this! Narrator is terrible!
I have enjoyed this series for 5 books and was awaiting the 6th book, to be shocked at the quality of the narration and that just ruined the entire story.

Disappointing
Compared to previous audiobooks in this series, The Sun Sister just does not hold up. The story is dull, blunt, very drawn out and predictable. There is nothing magical in this one, unlike in the rest of the series. Narrator’s voice for Electra very irritating. Happy that it is over - and yes, I have no curiosity about the last sister.

I love the seven sister series, until this one.
I am on chapter 24 and having a hard time. The narrator for Electra is terrible. So far, the story is only drugs and alcohol abuse. The past located in Kenya is better, but not nearly the quality of Ms Riley's other books. I was so excited to get book #6, now pretty disappointed. I'll finish the story, if it gets any better I'll let you know.
Ok, finished it. Way below the writings in previous 7 sister books. Too much in your face political, woke, references. Really, How many times can you slip in Obama?
I'm anxious to hear about sister #7! I was disappointed to not have a sighting of Pasalt in this one.
Please, do not use same narrator!!!! This one was torture to listen to!

Disappointment on every level
This was dull, slow and the Narrator sounded like she was half asleep all the time. Nothing like the first 5 books in the series. Awful. Only finished so I would have the facts for book 7.

I love the 7 sisters.
I have listened to many books by Lucinda Riley and I have loved all of them, I am so sorry to say this but this narrator is really awful to listen to. I don't even understand what her accent is supposed to be. It is the worst I ever listened to. The story is still great but it was a terrible choice of a reader. Electra is a Swiss girl living in NY, why is she speaking like she is Creole or from the Caribbean? The voice just leaves u bored and cold, not interesting to listen to at all. I am really sorry!

Could’ve done without the politics...
I liked the characters, but I felt this one was pushing a political agenda. I wanted to tell the characters, “You know you’re going to regret fawning all over that arrogant, divisive man just because of his race.” Those who are aware will understand.

How to make a boring book even more boring
Use the wrong narrator.
I cant believe how bad this is - absolutely loved all the previous books in the series.
Really a bad effort - had expected so much more.

QUITE DISAPPOINTED
I have read or listened to all of the book in the series so far but found this one very disappointing. The narrator with her monosyllabic tone made listening very uninteresting. Thankfully another took on the charecters story in the past. I will still listen to the nexxt book in the series praying it will be a different narrator.

A little forced
The characterisation is weak and many parts of the story dragged on and on. The narration lacks the vivacity of Caroline Lee, who narrated the other sisters books. I struggled to finish the book. There was little romantic passion in this book, with damaged male characters. A big disappointment.

Good but...
Good story, but the voice of Electra was a bit odd. Difficult to describe. But the tone of the voice was borderline sarcastic sounding when the situation didn’t call for it.

Another great story
The seven sisters have never failed to grip me. This one I was a little worried about. Electra, rich supermodel was going to be a little tough for me to like. Or so I thought. Her character with all her flaws grew and took me on her journey. Along with Cecily on the remote African plains and an unexpected find that would change the course of her life. If you’ve read the others you won’t be surprised this is so good. If you haven’t start at book 1 and enjoy.

Loved the narration too & I’m hoping that it won’t be too long to wait until the 7th sister breezes in to our lives! Thank you!

narration was the worst. sounded like my sauna. noperformance to it, very stilted and flat. only persisted to see the mystery with dad pan out, but it doesn't resolve. apparently another instalment is expected. I'd advise missing this one entirely.

Awful awful narrator
I’ve read the other books and loved them but thought I’d listen to this one as I love audiobooks. I had to stop after 15 minutes as the narrator is awful. This is the first time I’ve had to do this.

This is one of my favourite stories. Its scope is huge, reaching from Africa to Manhattan, and through just so many issues. The writing is superb, the narrations, excellent. The book is a 5 star recommendation - bring on the next, I cant wait.
