💎 In a world of silk and diamonds, who's conning whom?
In The Duchess and the Jeweller, Virginia Woolf spins a taut, glittering tale about Oliver Bacon, London's most fashionable jeweller, who has risen from rags to riches. When the Duchess of Lambourne, a symbol of fading aristocracy, arrives with a suspiciously convenient offer, a psychological battle unfolds—one of class, ego, and hidden motives.
Told in Woolf's signature stream-of-consciousness style, this short story is both a character portrait and a subtle critique of materialism and social pretense. In just a few pages, Woolf masterfully reveals the fragile power plays between wealth and status, truth and illusion.
