THE SHADOW SISTER by Lucinda Riley

 How easy is this series - The Seven Sisters - to read and enjoy. A guilty pleasure indeed and intensely enjoyable. The more I read of this series the more I like it. Each book is a little better than the last. They aren't going to win literary awards or prizes, but who cares, we want to be taken away to a different place and a different time. This is the third sister's story - Star, the quiet introverted young woman, totally dominated by her slightly younger sister CeeCee. The two women are living in London when their father dies back in Switzerland. On receiving the coordinates of her origins, Star begins peeling back where she came from. She is also left a Fabergé panther, and a name - Flora McKnight. It takes her a while, but eventually she makes her way to an antique bookshop in London, finding a kindred spirit in the bookshop owner/manager. We have landed gentry, the Lake District, Beatrix Potter, Edward VII, London high society, the finding of family, and above all Star finally finding herself.
