Moonstone: "Your tears come easy, when you're young, and beginning the world. Your tears come easy, when you're old, and leaving it." Wilkie Collins
The Moonstone
'The first, the longest and the best of modern, English detective novels.' - T. S. Eliot
A priceless gem, a diamond from India imbued with religious significance, is stolen on the very night it is given as an eighteenth birthday present to a captivating heiress; and so the mystery begins. The rules for the golden age of crime novels are formed in the pages of The Moonstone – an English country house, a complex cast of characters, the bungling local constabulary, a celebrated sleuth and the reconstruction of the crime.
Collins' intricate, ingenious plot combines suspense, drama and romance with an astute commentary on society in a richly humorous novel told through a series of narratives related by a variety of voices.
