Overview
This paperback collection brings together three sweeping historical novels from Lucinda Riley, the internationally bestselling author of the Seven Sisters series. From a Provencal chateau hiding wartime secrets, to Indian royalty and English aristocracy on the eve of the Great War, to an opera singer's rise across Italy's stages, each novel spans decades and continents with richly drawn settings. Riley's signature blend of romance, family legacy, and carefully researched history makes this three-book set an ideal introduction for new readers and a satisfying reread for longtime fans of layered, character-driven sagas.

About the Books
Each novel in this set stands entirely on its own, yet together they showcase Lucinda Riley's gift for weaving intimate personal drama into grand historical settings. The Light Behind The Window follows Emilie de la Martinieres, who inherits her family's chateau in the south of France and uncovers a decades-old wartime story tied to a mysterious relative named Sophia, moving between the present day and occupied Paris in the 1940s. The Midnight Rose opens in India in 1911, where Anahita Chavan befriends Princess Indira and later travels to England just before the First World War, becoming entangled with the Astbury family's secrets and ambitions across generations. The Italian Girl traces the journey of Rosanna Menici, a gifted singer whose life and loves become bound up with opera, ambition, and the long shadow of the past. All three novels share Riley's hallmark structure of dual or multiple timelines, strong-willed heroines navigating constrained circumstances, and slow-unfolding family mysteries that reward patient, immersive reading. Readers who enjoy Kate Morton or Santa Montefiore will recognize the same appetite for old houses, buried letters, and secrets that ripple across decades. This set is a practical way to collect three full-length Riley novels in matching paperback editions, useful for readers building a complete shelf of her backlist or for anyone new to her work who wants to sample multiple settings and eras before committing to her longer Seven Sisters series.
