The Moonstone

Meer over het boek

At the heart of the story is a cursed diamond, stolen during the Indian Mutiny, which carries a dark legacy. Bequeathed to Rachel Verrinder on her 18th birthday by her estranged uncle, the Moonstone's arrival is shrouded in ominous signs, hinting at revenge rather than familial love. As Rachel becomes embroiled in the diamond's history, a group of Brahmins relentlessly pursues it, seeking to restore it to its rightful place in their temple. Themes of colonialism, guilt, and the supernatural intertwine in this gripping tale.
