Kirsty Manning The Lost Jewels

Taking its inspiration from the true story of London’s mysterious Cheapside Hoard, discovered in 1912, Kirsty Manning’s new novel weaves a story of family secrets and a modern-day treasure hunt. Reviewer Ann Skea called it ‘a richly imagined family saga. It has history, love, adventure, priceless jewels, colourful and unusual locations and a smattering of social comment.’ You can read her full review for NRB here.
