The Diamond Hunter Paperback

Fiona’s books have grown more popular with each new release and it was our instore bookclub that introduced me to her, starting out with Lavender Keeper and French Promise. It’s a great joy to see a new author move from strength to strength. Her newest stand-alone story has arrived! “It won’t matter how many diamonds you find if you lose the love of your child. When six year old Clementine Knight loses her mother to malaria during the 1870s diamond rush in Southern Africa, she is left to be raised by her destitute, alcoholic father James but the care fell to their trusty Zulu companion, Joseph One-Shoe. They’re an unlikely pair and form an unbreakable bond. Years later, Clementine, back in northern England, has buried memories of her childhood in Africa but she must confront her painful history to finally bring forth justice.” From the African desert and diamond mines to the lush, green life of northern England, if you’re a fan of Lesley Pearse then you’ll love Fiona McIntosh too!
