The story unfolds on a classic Krantz background, a magic carpet of gorgeous entertainment and sumptuous events. Yet, at its core, The Jewels of Tessa Kent is an engrossing, deeply moving, and ultimately inspiring tale of two women bound by blood yet torn apart by their deepest emotions. \u003cbr\u003eTessa Kent, an exquisite and precocious fourteen, gives birth to an illegitimate daughter. Her parents, devout Catholics, raise the infant, Maggie, as their own child. At sixteen Tessa is discovered by Hollywood; by nineteen she's an international movie star. Maggie lives for her glorious \"sister's\" infrequent whirlwind visits. Maggie is a captivating, independent eighteen when she accidentally learns the truth. Mortally wounded, she breaks all ties with Tessa and starts to work at the famed Manhattan auction house of Scott \u0026amp; Scott. \u003cbr\u003eFive years later, a life-altering crisis makes Tessa passionately determined to end this estrangement. An auction is the only way she can find to reach her daughter, an auction of the immensely valuable collection of famed jewels that represent all the love lavished on her by her late husband. Tessa promises Scott \u0026amp; Scott the auction on the condition that Maggie and she work closely together on the sale. For Tessa, her entire future now hangs on the hope of an almost impossible reconciliation. \u003cbr\u003eThe Jewels of Tessa Kent deals with the fascinating workings of an auctionhouse; it's a revealing look at the inside of Hollywood stardom; but more than anything else, it's a story of feelings and family, of loss, mistakes, joy and redemption.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fiction, Psychological\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 561\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Random House Large Print\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780375704215\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Random House Large Print","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £16.95","offer_id":47900629041329,"sku":"SB-0375704213-C3","price":16.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0375704213.jpg?v=1788842146","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-jewels-of-tessa-kent-random-house-large-print","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
