The Lost Sisters: The Folk of the Air Novella

Product Information

Another common feature was difficult sibling relationships and mother/daughter relationships. Emma, Ruby and Lily in the early 20th century were very different kinds of people. Emma was the hardworking responsible, eldest daughter and the narrator for most of that part of the story. Ruby was the middle daughter, harder to like, a bit of a handful and a bit flighty. The youngest daughter Lily was so sweet and having been ill for much of her young life, was well looked perhaps a bit babied, by her mother. In the present day, Harriet has drifted apart from her brother, though not because of any great falling out. She also has an estranged daughter and grandchildren she never sees. Her daughter Sally who stayed nearby always looked out for her mother, although was a bit over-bearing at times, However, with another issue having a huge impact on her life, I could see why she was so protective of her family. The author portrayed all these relationships very realistically and they felt like an accurate portrayal of the sometimes strained relationships within families Elowyn Greenbriar: Daughter of Eldred; Sister to Balekin, Dain, Rhyia, Caelia and half-sister to Cardan; Killed by Balekin

Eleven identifies Ray Carroll, one of the men who put her mother in her catatonic state. She locates him and the group gears up, as well as giving Eleven a more punk look that Dottie refers to as "bitchin'," a phrase Eleven adopts. A police officer stares at their van as it drives by. Eleven uses her powers to help them rob a convenience store as they drive to Carroll. They break into Carroll's apartment wearing masks and restrain him. Kali and Eleven take their masks off, and Carroll recognizes them when Kali makes him see them as children. Carroll begs for his life and claims that Martin Brenner is still alive, and that he can take them to him. Knowing that Eleven can find him anyway now that they know he is alive, Kali tells Eleven to kill him. She starts to strangle him just as Axel and Dottie find his daughters in their room, on the phone with the police. Unable to kill him knowing he has children and that they're there, Eleven lets Carroll live and stops Kali from shooting him. They drive off, but Kali warns Eleven to never take away her revenge. This was such an interesting book to read, not only because I have a keen interest in RMS Titanic but it is also a dual-timeline book which I always enjoy. This story has a duel timeline and it's told in the past and present format. It's a heart-breaking story of Harriet's search to find out the truth about her family. The historical part of the story is based on true events. The Olympic was the Titanic and Britannic's sister ship - three sisters, three sister ships. The author has done her research before writing this book. Even some of the characters were real people. The part that was written in the present day were just as interesting. I really enjoyed this dual time-line story and felt completely connected to the characters. Laughing and smiling with them, I also felt their sadness and tragedies as well. I think this is a book that will stay with me for a while. Oh my word! THE LOST SISTER is a compelling dual timeline tale with one family at its heart tragically torn apart both in the past and present. Spanning more than 100 years, family dynamics are explored between sisters and the yearning for independence fraying the bonds that hold them all together. Tension is rife within each household plagued by children leaving home, those left behind, duty, obligations, a wealth of misunderstandings, health issues and decidedly strong personalities. And despite the passage of time, while some things change some things remain the same.In addition to the author’s brother, her influence in writing was a memoir of Violet Jessop. Interestingly enough, my husband and I, both avid cruisers, sailed with John Maxtone-Graham, the editor and annotator of Violet’s book, many times and heard first hand about Violet. I have a treasured signed copy of Violet’s memoirs gifted by our maritime friend. As a result, McGurl’s invitation to read her newest book was one I immediately accepted and feverishly read. This five-star historical fiction is to be published on May 12, 2021, and is a must-read for historical fiction lovers.

[1] This was later revealed to be Chapter Seven and will center heavily on Eleven's story arc. [2] Meanwhile, Prince Dain is to be crowned within months and he takes in Jude as a spy, due to her human ability to lie (which faeries cannot) and employs her in the Court of Shadows with a trio consisting of The Roach, The Bomb and The Ghost. Prince Dain gives Jude a geas that prevents her from being enchanted into obeying instructions from fae (mind magic). Jude begins a practice ofmithridatism– taking small doses of poison to become immune to its effects.

Fairy tales are full of girls who wait, who endure, who suffer. Good girls. Obedient girls. Girls who crush nettles until their hands bleed. Girls who haul water for witches. Girls who wander through deserts or sleep in ashes or make homes for transformed brothers in the woods. Girls without hands, without eyes, without the power of speech, without any power at all. But then a prince rides up and sees the girl and finds her beautiful. Beautiful, not despite her suffering, but because of it.” I thought it was rather brave of the author to take on the story of the White Star liners – everyone is so very familiar with the story of the ill-fated Titanic’s maiden voyage, and I wondered how she could play it into a story and make it fresh and new. But she most certainly manages to do so, with a rather lovely dual time story focusing on two generations of women, tied together by the long hidden secrets of three sisters whose lives are changed by Emma’s decision to sign on as a stewardess on the Olympic. What makes this book fresh and different is its focus on individuals – mothers and daughters, sibling relationships – and a story with a strong central mystery and a series of secrets and connections to be uncovered. Because her adoptive father is the leader of the the Faerie military, Jude attends school with nobility, where she meets Cardan, the means, vilest, and cruelest of the High King’s sons. Fairy tales have a moral: Stay on the path. Don’t trust wolves. Don’t steal things, not even things you think no normal person would care about. Share your food but don’t trust people who want to share their food with you; don’t eat their shiny red apples, not their candy houses, nor any of it. Be nice, always nice, and polite to everyone: kings and beggars, witches and wounded bears. Don’t break a promise.” a song of heartbreak. Of a girl who walked the earth by starlight. Whose aspect was mortal but with beauty divine. Her cruelty had pierced his heart.”In closing, The Lost Sister, by Kathleen McGurl is a valiant emotional journey through the hearts of a wonderful cast of characters who deal with fear, heartbreak and loss but also find courage, healing and redemption. Beautifully written and powerfully positive. A must read novel. A HUGE 5 Star/Anchor ⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️ rating from me.
