It seemed very contrived and quickly wrapped up. Wanting to keep her inheritance, Nell researches the history of the necklace which leads to long buried family secrets being revealed.
Cousins Pansy and Emerson want that necklace. Nell has been designated the executor of Lulu’s will, and has been left a very unusual, and expensive, necklace. In the present young attorney Nell, always the outsider in the family, is called to the Quincy homestead upon the death of her great-aunt Lulu, the sister of Ambrose and Ethan. Thus, the love triangle builds in intensity. Upon his return, Ambrose still presents the necklace to May. However, he learns that May has married Ethan. While in India Ambrose buys an extravagant necklace for May whom he intended to marry. It is 1925 and Ambrose is driven to travel the world while his brother stays home to run the coal mines. Brothers Ethan and Ambrose Quincy want the same girl – May. The chapters alternate between the 1920’s and the present (2009). The writing isn’t the best, but the story is really good. This book was a really slow start but it was worth staying with it.
