A very enjoyable read

I have seen this book series so much on French IG and read so many great reviews I wanted to try it out, despite its so many pages. I'm trying to read around 200-page books whilst I'm also doing the War and Peace 2023 readalong though The Seven Sisters does not fall in this category as it's about 640 pages!

I liked the 2 timelines of the book:
* Maia's story told in about 2017 who search for her roots and her birth family after the death of Pa Salt, her adoptive father.
* Bel's, Maia's great-grandmother, story in the late 1920s.

I really enjoyed the author's storytelling which is really captivating. Even though the whole story takes place over a period of over a month, so much happens.

I also very much liked the historical aspect of the stories, especially relating to the creation of the Monte Cristo Statue and to the Paris of the 1920s.

At the end, there are a few questions leaving us hanging but I'm guessing that's we'll get to know the answers (or some clues to them) through the stories of Maia's sisters in the following books.

It was a really enjoyable read and I'm looking forward to discover Ally's story in book 2.
