CONTINUATION OF THE FAMOUS “SEVEN SISTERS” SERIES. For the whole world Electra is a real lucky star: a famous model whose lifestyle many envy. But the downside of popularity—the life under the glare of photo cameras—kills her mental health. A breakup with a well-known rock musician she was truly in love with, and then the news of the death of her adoptive father, Pa Salt, become the point of no return for her.
In the last letter Pa Salt leaves Electra the coordinates of her birthplace. That’s how her journey full of dangers begins—from glamorous Manhattan to the endless plains of Africa, from the present to the distant year 1939, which became defining for her ancestors and for her own future.
