"The Seven Sister" series is getting more interesting with each book, this being the fifth out of seven. Adopted and raised in a mansion in Geneva, the six sisters have only known each other as a family until one day when their adoptive father dies and leave them with enormous wealth and a letter each, containing clues to discover their heritage and roots. Each book focuses on one of the girls as they track down their ancestry and which part of the world they come from. And "The Moon Sister" is the second youngest sister, Tiggy's story.
Tiggy has always been the most perceptive one out of all the sisters with the kindest nature and uncanny psychic powers. She loves to take care of animals and chose a profession that provided her stay at a vast estate of Scottish highlands with its natural wintry beauty and wildlife to work as an animal conservationist.
Tiggy's life unexpectedly unsettles when a familial row breaks out between the estate owner and his wife. The instinct to protect a white doe; her feelings towards the estate owner; and the discovery of a life-threatening disease make her flee Scotland to the hills of Granada in Spain, where she learns of her connection to a famous flamenco dancer and to a generation of seers/natural healers known as Brujo.
I found both the present story of Tiggy's life and the back story of her ancestor Lucia's life absolutely fascinating. The Gypsy lifestyle in Spain has been extensively showcased. Even though it is filled with poverty and a marginalized lifestyle for centuries of being shunned, their passion for Flamenco is unparallel. Among them rises a young star - Lucia, one of the best Flamenco dancers Spain has ever seen. Although, she travels the world to follow her dream, her restless nature and childish behavior make it hard for her to settle anywhere with anyone for long.
I enjoyed this novel immensely, but it's not my favorite out of this series. Nonetheless, it has been well researched with an in-depth explanation of the plots and admirable writing that you fall in love with the current as well as the historical storyline. I have also learned a lot of things from this book of which I did not know enough about. And I have also been transported to places I perhaps will never get to see.
Overall the entire series reveals the rich traditions of various cultures from all around the world. This book also leaves us with a tantalizing snippet into the next sister, Electra's life. I don’t really know much at all about the youngest sister, other than the fact she is quite difficult. So, I am especially intrigued to know what makes her so different from the others.
I am also looking forward to the whole sequence wrapping up but like always, dreading the end of another great series. I can't wait to bring you the review of the next book - "The Sun Sister".
Meanwhile, go ahead and enjoy reading my blogs on the previous novels:
Happy Reading!!!
