London‚ 1880. Left destitute after her father’s sudden death‚ Frances Irvine is forced to abandon her life of wealth and privilege and emigrate to South Africa. In a remote and inhospitable land‚ she becomes entangled with two very different men — one driven by ambition‚ the other by his ideals. Only when the rumor of a smallpox epidemic takes her into the dark heart of the diamond mines does she see her path to happiness. But this is a ruthless world …

Review:

“A skilled unfolding of a woman’s struggle with desire‚ class divide and disease in 19th century South Africa … the journey is thrillingly huge.”
— Financial Times (London)
