Įighty years earlier, in the Belle Époque of Rio, 1927, Izabela Bonifacio’s father has aspirations for his daughter to marry into aristocracy. Maia D’Aplièse and her five sisters gather together at their childhood home – a fabulous, secluded castle situated on the shores of Lake Geneva – having been told that their beloved adoptive father, the elusive billionaire they call Pa Salt, has died.Įach of them is handed a tantalising clue to their true heritage – a clue which takes Maia across the world to a crumbling mansion in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. Her books are so visual that I can see how well they would work for television.The Seven Sisters is a sweeping epic tale of love and loss by the international number one bestseller Lucinda Riley. 'I'm so delighted that Lucinda's sweeping romantic saga of seven sisters will reach the screen. Jeremy Trevathan, Publisher, Pan Macmillan, comments: She is now a New York Times bestselling author and her books have sold more than eight million copies in thirty-nine languages. Hothouse Flower was a Richard and Judy book club choice and became a number one international bestseller.
Irish author Lucinda Riley wrote her first novel at twenty-four. I immediately fell in love with Lucinda's story.' Though 'What Happened to Monday?' deals with seven sisters in quite a different time and setting, the coincidence was just too much to resist. 'While Riley's storyline is completely different from 'What Happened to Monday?', the book's title and the seven sisters connection compelled me to read it. Producer Raffaella de Laurentiis came across the books during production for 'What Happened to Monday?' - a sci-fi action thriller which also features a story of seven sisters – and immediately saw its appeal. Loosely based on the mythology of the star constellation known as the Pleiades (‘The Seven Sisters'), Riley's book series brings the sisters into the modern world, following five adopted sisters as they travel across the world in search of their true heritage. LA production company Raffaella Productions is to create a multi-season television series based on Pan Macmillan author Lucinda Riley's bestselling The Seven Sisters series.
