Ally D'Aplièse is about to compete in one of the world's most perilous yacht races, when she hears the news of her adoptive father's sudden, mysterious death. Rushing back to meet her five sisters at their family home, she discovers that her father - an elusive billionaire affectionately known to his daughters as Pa Salt - has left each of them a tantalizing clue to their true heritage.
Ally has also recently embarked on a deeply passionate love affair that will change her destiny forever. But with her life now turned upside down, Ally decides to leave the open seas and follow the trail that her father left her, which leads her to the icy beauty of Norway .
There, Ally begins to discover her roots - and how her story is inextricably bound to that of a young unknown singer, Anna Landvik, who lived there over a hundred years before, and sang in the first performance of Grieg's iconic music set to Ibsen's play 'Peer Gynt'. As Ally learns more about Anna, she also begins to question who her father, Pa Salt, really was. And why is the seventh sister missing?

I really enjoyed The Storm Sister. I loved the first book, The Seven Sisters and look forward to reading the rest of the series. This book crosses over with events from the first book with Pa Salt's death, his lone funeral, and the discovery of the clues he left for his daughters to find their birth parents and families. Like the first book, as Ally searches for her birth family while grieving the loss of her father and lover, the book moves between these events and the events and the tragedy of her biological mother and father gradually moving forward until past and present merge. This is an effective form of storytelling and works really well. I really enjoyed this.
