PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Kirsty Manning grew up in northern New South Wales. A country girl with wanderlust, her travels and studies have taken her through most of Europe, the east and west coasts of the United States and pockets of Asia. Kirsty's first novel was the enchanting The Midsummer Garden published in 2017. Her second book, the bestselling The Jade Lily was published in 2018, and her third, The Lost Jewels, in 2020. Her next book, The French Gift, published in 2021, is a compelling story of female friendship during World War Two, bringing together the past and the present. Her novels are also published in the US and in Europe. Kirsty is a partner in the award-winning Melbourne wine bar Bellota, and the Prince Wine Store in Sydney and Melbourne. She lives in Melbourne, Victoria.
'A modern day treasure hunt, The Lost Jewels is for fans of historical fiction, romance and sweeping sagas that investigate inter-generational secrets.' Jess Just Reads 'The story moves backward and forward between the 1600's to the present day, and the reality of the social history from those times is tough. It's hard to get the sparkle of diamonds and sapphires and rubies out of your mind, so well are they described, but the story is rounded out by a warm romance.' Blue Wolf Reviews
