Having worked my way through Lucinda Riley's "Seven Sisters" books and now almost finished Beryl Darby's "Yannis" stories can anyone suggest a similar series to start reading, please?

I'd recommend Kate Morton, maybe try her first two, The Forgotten Garden and the House at Riverton. She writes in a slightly similar vein to Lucinda, generally two times frames. I've enjoyed both writers' books.

Lucinda Riley had written several books besides the Seven Sisters, but you might already know that.
I agree on Kate Morton and also Kate Mosse is good.
Rosie Thomas writes in a similar vein, but all her novels seem to be very different from each other.

I haven't read any Lucinda Riley books, but enjoy Kate Morton's.
If it is dual timelines that you enjoy, Barbara Erskine does those, but more like timeslip/ghost stories.

I also like Barbara Erskine, her books are historically set and full of interesting facts.
