{"title":"Harry Whittaker","description":"Lucinda Riley was born in Ireland and, after an early career as an actress in film, theatre and television, wrote her first novel aged twenty-four. Her books have been translated into thirty-seven languages and The Seven Sisters series specifically has become a global phenomenon, creating its own genre. In 2020, Lucinda received the Dutch Platinum Award for sales of over 300,000 copies for a single novel in one year - an award last won by J. K. Rowling for Harry Potter. In collaboration with her son Harry Whittaker, she also devised and wrote the Guardian Angels series of books for children. Though she brought up her four children mostly in Norfolk, England, she fulfilled her dream in 2015 of buying a remote farmhouse in West Cork, Ireland, which she always felt was her spiritual home, and this was where her last five books were written. Lucinda was diagnosed with cancer in 2017 and died on 11 June 2021, surrounded by her family.","products":[{"product_id":"the-last-love-song-a-gripping-mystery-of-music-fame-and-a-rock-stars-disappearance-from-the-bestselling-author-of-the-seven-sisters-series-hardcover","title":"The Last Love Song: A Gripping Mystery of Music, Fame, and a Rock Star's Disappearance from the Bestselling Author of the Seven Sisters Series - Hardcover","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSweeping from the rural coast of Ireland to the glamour of 1960s London, \u003ci\u003eLosing You\u003c\/i\u003e is a spellbinding story of love and loss from the internationally bestselling author of The Seven Sisters series, Lucinda Riley.
