Atlas: The Story of Pa Salt (Seven Sisters) Paperback – May 11, 2023

If you have read Lucinda Riley's Seven Sisters series, do yourself a favor and finish it off with book eight.As I was getting to the end of the seventh book, I felt the stories were rushed and not quite as intricate as when Lucinda started writing them. When she died, I thought that I would just move on and read other books, but I found myself on a plane and a kindle app on my phone and I downloaded this one.It brings everything together. Why Pa Salt found himself with six and, eventually, seven daughters and was able to tell their stories. How he became to be so very rich. Why he turned out to be really kind. Kind to everyone and able to help so many people, who all gave it back in the end.The story about the love of his life and what happened to her was quite obvious after a bit of reading, but it's still a cool party of the story.I say well done to Harry Whittaker, Lucinda's son, who picked up the unfinished manuscript and finished it for Lucinda's fans. I am content to say that there is no difference in their writing styles and the story is as rich as you expect it to be.

The seven sister series is eight books the tell a beautiful story I could not put it down. Recommended to all..

First, I want to deeply thank Harry Whitaker for writing this book. If it wasn’t for him, me and lots of other readers who stuck with the sisters for so long, would be left without knowing why and how everything happened.Said that, the book is good. It explains everything, who is Pa Salt and why and how he adopted all the sisters and also why he wasn’t abe to find Merope, the “missing sister”.I gave it 4 stars becaus the book is too long. Full of lots and lots of details, unnecessary, in my view. The flow of the narrative was slowed down due too many details, which didn’t add anything to the plot.But I enjoyed it very much. I felt like I was there with them, rooting for them, just like I did in the other books.Too bad Lucinda isn’t among us anymore.And once again, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, HARRY WHITAKER.

Spellbinding and addictive I could not put it down. It is the very best book of the series beautifully written and crafted. A truly intrigue and intricate story.

This is a wonderful end to the seven sister series! A real tear jerker but totally ties up any loose ends one might have about the entire family connections - no detail left out! Masterpiece!

Carrying on the series after your mother’s passing must have been a daunting task. I am guessing filled with doubt and worry to be able to complete her final story of Pa Salt. After reading all the stories of the 7 sisters, your mother left her readers needing the final story of who this man was and what motivated him to do what he did. Your story telling of Atlas was brilliantly crafted in the same “voice” that your mother used. As a reader, it was a pleasure to read his story as it flowed flawlessly with the other books. Congratulations Mr. Whittaker for your masterfully written conclusion to the 7 sister’s storyline and answering all the questions we as readers had for Pa Salt’s history. To pull his history in such an interesting and compelling way made the story of the 7 sisters that much more meaningful. Thank you for completing your mothers legacy. Your mother is surely smiling down on you from the stars above for a job well done.

Enjoyed greatly. Well plotted. The heritage stories for each distressed fabulous. Only a few forced plot lines to move the story forward, but no doubt worth the time to read!

Wow what a journey through life - how does anyone manage to amass such an incredible story and manage to tie all the dots together in such an elequont and stoic way. I have learned a lot from these books. Lessons that will stay with me forever and one thing I know for sure is I will enjoy re-reading them one day. I am blown away emotionally. Thank you Lucinda and Harry for the many hours of enjoyment I have gained from these books, so sorry for your loss as well….life, as we all know, can be bitter sweet.
