A celebrated Indian diamond is first stolen from India then vanishes from a Yorkshire country house. Who took it? And where is it now? A dramatist as well as a novelist, Collins gives to each of his narrators--a household servant, for instance, a detective, a lawyer, a cloth-eared Evangelical, a dying medical man--vibrant identities as they separately tell the part of the story that concerns themselves. Collins's novel of addictions is itself addictive, moving through a sequence of startling revelations towards the final disclosure of the truth. Entranced with double lives and with men and women who only know part of the story, \u003cem\u003eThe Moonstone\u003c\/em\u003e is also a text that also grows imaginatively out of the secrets that the unconventional Collins was obliged to keep as he wrote the novel.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51369549463775,"sku":"9780198819394","price":9.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/s1UqK7U44f9780198819394.webp?v=1789143363","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/the-moonstone-paperback-1","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
