Readers can expect exciting appearances from beloved Seven Sisters characters, and will discover how their lives have been shaped during the last twenty years. This is Orlando’s story . . ` Author Information Lucinda Riley was born 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 sold forty million copies worldwide, and she was a No.1 Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller. Lucinda died in the summer of 2021. Harry Whittaker grew up in the 1990s and spent the first few years of his life on the rural west coast of Ireland, with a poor TV signal (and certainly no iPad). It was therefore left to his mother to entertain him, which she did through telling him stories. As a result, Harry has become a storyteller himself, as an awardwinning radio presenter for the BBC and a member of one of the UK’s most renowned improv troupes, who perform all over the UK.
