Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oriana, while enjoying a vacation in Lisbon with her husband, stumbles upon a shocking revelation—a newspaper article featuring a childhood photo of herself at the age of five. The article states that she was a kidnapped child, taken from Lisbon twenty years ago. As Oriana undergoes DNA testing, the truth unravels before her eyes. She discovers that the woman she believed to be her mother, Rhea, was not her biological parent but someone who is accused of kidnapping her. However, just as Oriana begins to question her past and seek answers, Rhea disappears after telling Oriana she had saved her from an evil man. Driven by a relentless desire to uncover the truth, Oriana embarks on a journey to piece together the events that led to her kidnapping. Along the way, she encounters clues that suggest the existence of a man who might have been responsible for her abduction. The narrative alternates between Oriana's perspective and Rhea's account, narrating the story of a daring escape, forged documents, and a final arrival in a small town in upstate New York. Oriana's relentless pursuit of her past takes her to unexpected places, exposing her to connections she never could have imagined. As the truth gradually unfolds, Oriana must confront her darkest fears and decide who she can trust. Will she find solace in the arms of her newfound family, or will the shadows of her past continue to haunt her?
Download or read book The Necklace written by Claire McMillan and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-07-04 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this “glittering, Gatsby-esque” (Publishers Weekly) novel, two generations of Quincy women—a bewitching Jazz Age beauty and a young lawyer—are bound by a spectacular and mysterious Indian necklace. Always the black sheep of the tight-knit Quincy clan, Nell is cautious when she’s summoned to the elegantly shabby family manor after her great-aunt Loulou’s death. A cold reception from the family grows chillier when they learn Loulou has left Nell a fantastically valuable heirloom: an ornate necklace from India that Nell finds stashed in a Crown Royal whiskey bag in the back of a dresser. As predatory relatives circle and art experts begin to question the necklace’s provenance, Nell turns to the only person she thinks she can trust—the attractive and ambitious estate lawyer who definitely is not part of the old-money crowd. More than just a piece of jewelry, the necklace links Nell to a long-buried family secret involving Ambrose Quincy, who brought the necklace home from India in the 1920s as a dramatic gift for May, the woman he intended to marry. Upon his return, he discovered that May had married his brother Ethan, the “good” Quincy, devoted to their father. As a gesture of friendship, Ambrose gave May the necklace anyway. Crisp as a gin martini, fresh as a twist of lime, The Necklace is the charming and intoxicating story “written with wit, compassion, and a meticulous attention to period and cultural detail” (Kirkus Reviews) of long-simmering family resentments and a young woman who inherits a secret much more valuable than a legendary necklace.
