Gift of Diamonds

by Roberta Seret

Overview

Seventeen-year-old Mica is a determined aspiring actress living with her parents in Romania as Nicolae Ceausescu begins his reign. Her parents are covertly political and influential, which makes them a perfect target for the Secret Police. They're soon arrested, and Mica flees the country with her father's rare—and possibly cursed—diamonds. With her parents imprisoned, it's up to Mica to investigate the terrorism involving Ceausescu and his nuclear business partners.

Editorial Reviews

Gift of Diamonds is written in language that is flawless. I loved the well-crafted and strong themes, the well-written international setting, and the political ideas explored in the story. But what had me going from page to page is the deft treatment of the protagonist—she is real, genuine, and sophisticated.
