Delphine has seen both sides of love-the ecstatic, glorious highs of seduction, and the bitter, spiteful fury that descends when its over. James, a paramedic who works the night shift, knows his wifes family thinks she could have done better; while Kate, partnered with Dan for a decade, has seen every kind of wedding-beach weddings, backyard weddings, castle weddings-and has vowed never, ever, to have one of her own.As these lives and marriages unfold in surprising ways, we meet Frances Gerety, a young advertising copywriter in 1947. Frances is working on the De Beers campaign and she needs a signature line, so, one night before bed, she scribbles a phrase on a scrap of paper: A Diamond Is Forever. And that line changes everything.A rich, layered, exhilarating novel spanning nearly a hundred years, The Engagements captures four wholly unique marriages, while tracing the story of diamonds in America, and the way-for better or for worse-these glittering stones have come to symbolize our deepest hopes for everlasting love.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51735281893664,"sku":"NEW030795871X","price":25.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81NyDurPQkL.jpg?v=1779481459","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-engagements-030795871x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
