I’ve read the first four in a week, I’m hooked! Anyone else?

I’m just about to start The moon sister, so warn me if you have spoilers!! Grin

Who is Pa Salt? What are the connections?

What are people’s thoughts?

Six girls (so far) all adopted by the mysterious Pa Salt and brought up in luxury in Geneva. Each book traces the story of one daughter and flips between the present and the past as they discover their origins and how they came to be adopted.

So glad this just popped up on active threads! I love the books and didn’t realise the new one was out. Doesn’t seem that long since Cece’s book.

Wow, is this a series about a family of seven girls??
I love stories about large families!

Puddingmama2017 · 09/12/2018 19:16

I’m starting it tonight, been looking forward to hers as we’ve not heard much about her (even less about Electra which I think is interesting). My favourite so far has been CeCe’s I think, but I did really enjoy Ally’s.

I’m convinced we’ve met Pa Salt already, (The little boy in France in Maia’s story, Bo in Ally’s perhaps?)

I thought I wouldn't like the latest one about Tiggy, but I loved it.

Puddingmama2017 · 09/12/2018 18:40

Ooooooh, I like that possibility!!

Aside from the mystery aspect, I’ve found them totally addictive because of the storylines for each sister, the backgrounds to their families and the amount of historical detail for multiple cultures. Not been so captured by a story in a long time.

Could they be the parents of Merope and just mislaid her somewhere?

Puddingmama2017 · 09/12/2018 18:33

I wondered about Marina too, but I can’t see her being connected to the girls as then it would favour that one and the author has been so careful to give them their own ones away from their upbringing. I’m sure she’s actually married to Pa Salt though.

I sometimes wonder if the housekeeper Marina? is a link. Not sure how though.

I like these. I have bought my mother the moon sister for Christmas, with full intentions of reading it after her Blush.

Puddingmama2017 · 09/12/2018 18:24

I’m sure they’re all connected somehow through people we’ve already met but I can’t for the life of me see the links!

I know, I keep thinking back what Pa Salt told Maia ( that he’d never found her) meaning he’d been meant to? Someone had given him the task of finding them all?

Oooh I've really got into those, its going to be a while before the Electra one comes out.

I think Pa Salt has to be alive looking for the seventh sister somewhere but don't know how or why.

I love them. We have Elektra next I think, but I suspect we will have to wait for the "sister who never arrived" for all to be revealed.
