About this listen

'Captivating…[a] sparkling gem of a story' DAISY WOOD

***

A hidden jewel. A buried past. A secret waiting to break free.

India, 1947: Celia Fforbes-Whyte remembers little about her beloved mother, but she will never forget how the family’s prized diamond, the Chamakta Sitara, glistened at her throat. The diamond has been part of the family for as long as she can remember, but growing voices begin to ask whether it should ever have belonged to them at all?

With danger closing in on the eve of Indian independence, Celia’s father makes a drastic choice – to protect his family, the diamond must disappear without a trace. But in doing so, will he create a curse that lasts a lifetime …

London, 2024: Heartbroken and desperate for an escape, Lisa Statton retreats to the comfort of the Alps. But when she stumbles across a sparkling gem and an unopened letter, embedded in a glacier, Lisa finds herself thrust into a mystery more devastating than she could ever imagine …

how well it weaved from past to present. I really enjoyed hearing about India as independence arrived and the idea of the cursed diamond and the effect it had on the family. The narrator really told the story so well I didn't want it to end
