Don't get me wrong, I continue to be impressed with Lucinda Riley's work, the amount of research and thought that goes into each book, and am really curious to see all the stories come together. Somehow Lucinda Riley achieves this without ever feeling repetitive but just adding more to the experience. Den femte fortælling om de syv søstre er bogen om Tiggy. This book was different, I found Cecily's story way more interesting, at least until she returned to New York - the reasons for which just didn't seem compelling.

I forbindelse med sit arbejde møder Joanna den charmerende Marcus Harris, som får hendes hjerte til at slå lidt kraftigere.
