The beginning of the book was simply fascinating, offering insights into how the diamond trade began and worked. It was so interesting. However, the more the book delved into the deeper workings of the diamond business, the less interested I became.
For me, a major interest point in the book was Wernher's wife, Birdie, who later became Lady Ludlow. I think she was the most interesting character in the book. I absolutely did not like his daughter-in-law, Lady Zia, a daughter of Grand Duke Michael Mikhailovich of Russia and his morganatic wife, Countess Sophie de Torby. His son, Harold, was an affable man and I greatly enjoyed the parts about him.
Good reading about a now little known family.… (más)
