A celebrated Indian diamond is first stolen from India then vanishes from a Yorkshire country house. Who took it? And where is it now? A dramatist as well as a novelist, Collins gives to each of his narrators--a household servant, for instance, a detective, a lawyer, a cloth-eared Evangelical, a dying medical man--vibrant identities as they separately tell the part of the story that concerns themselves. Collins's novel of addictions is itself addictive, moving through a sequence of startling revelations towards the final disclosure of the truth. Entranced with double lives and with men and women who only know part of the story, \u003cem\u003eThe Moonstone\u003c\/em\u003e is also a text that also grows imaginatively out of the secrets that the unconventional Collins was obliged to keep as he wrote the novel.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wilkie Collins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10\/1\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.7\" H x 5\" L x 0.9\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780198819394\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flowerburst","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824027304240,"sku":"9780198819394","price":9.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2712\/8368\/files\/9780198819394.jpg?v=1790005957","url":"https:\/\/flowerburst.co\/products\/the-moonstone-wilkie-collins-paperback-1","provider":"Flowerburst","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
