Despite the cover description being all about the jewels being auctioned, this is actually a sombre story about communist Russia, Spoiler alert: I was left with a lingering sadness after the book was finished because of the unhappy fate met by Victor. This is not a feel good novel and I do not recommend it if you need a pick-me-up. However, it is a good read if you are emotionally ready to feel troubled by a strong story.
