From the New York Times best-selling author comes a sprawling novel exploring the complexities of marriage—those fueled by passion, those seeking comfort, and those who choose to love without the confines of a wedding. Evelyn has been married for forty years, a journey that began when her husband replaced her first wedding ring with his own. Delphine experiences the highs of seduction and the lows of heartbreak. James, a night-shift paramedic, grapples with his wife’s family's opinions about their relationship, while Kate, in a decade-long partnership with Dan, has vowed to avoid the traditional wedding altogether. As these lives intertwine, we meet Frances Gerety, a young advertising copywriter in 1947 tasked with creating a signature line for the De Beers campaign. One night, she pens “A Diamond Is Forever,” a phrase that transforms the perception of love and commitment. This rich, layered narrative spans nearly a century, capturing four distinct marriages and tracing the impact of diamonds in America, illustrating how these precious stones symbolize our deepest aspirations for enduring love.
