Wilkie Collins' "The Moonstone"

Potential Spoiler Alert!


------------------------------







If you're interested in the Koh-I-Noor diamond that was exhibited at the Crystal Palace, you should definitely read Collins' The Moonstone. The name of the novel is, in fact, referring to the diamond that was on exhibit, except in the hands of a young woman, Rachel.

I've just started reading the book, so I'm not sure if Collins' addresses the great exhibition specifically, but I'm curious to find out more.
