Summary:
"From the author of The Song of the Jade Lily comes a thrilling story of a family secret that leads to a legendary treasure. Why would someone bury a bucket of precious jewels and gemstones and never return? Present Day. When respected American jewelry historian, Kate Kirby, receives a call about the
Cheapside
jewels, she knows she’s on the brink of the experience of a lifetime. But the trip to
London
forces Kate to explore secrets that have long been buried by her own family. Back in Boston, Kate has uncovered a series of sketches in her great-grandmother’s papers linking her suffragette great-grandmother Essie to the
Cheapside
collection. Could these sketches hold the key to Essie’s secret life in Edwardian
London
? In the summer of 1912, impoverished Irish immigrant Essie Murphy happens to be visiting her brother when a workman’s pickaxe strikes through the floor of an old tenement house in
Cheapside
, near St. Paul’s Cathedral in
London
. The workmen uncover a stash of treasure
--
from Ottoman pendants to Elizabethan and Jacobean gems
--
and then the finds disappear again! Could these jewels
--
one in particular
--
change the fortunes of Essie and her sisters? Together with photographer Marcus Holt, Kate Kirby chases the history of the
Cheapside
gems and jewels, especially the story of a small diamond champlevé enamel ring. Soon, everything Kate believes about her family, gemology, and herself will be threatened. Based on a fascinating true story, The Lost Jewels is a riveting historical
fiction
novel that will captivate readers from the beginning to the unforgettable, surprising end."--Container.
