The Sparkling Diamond
Remi Pendergast Ceglar
Set in 19th Century France, a young girl, Adeline, who comes from a modest household in France, loses her innocence after tragedy. If only she hadn’t been seduced by the sparkling diamonds of the Parisian markets. Forced into child labour, she sets in motion an escape plan to reclaim her freedom. A chance encounter with a jovial gentleman puts her in prime position to gain her liberty after years of abuse. She is trained in etiquette and moulded into becoming the star of the Moulin Rouge. She learns that love and lust are powerful emotions that open doors to the elite. However, there is only one true love of her life growing up, Augie. He had faith in her after their shared ordeal at la maison bleue. Augie knows all her doubts and secrets but chooses to see Adeline as a remarkable young lady worth fighting for.
After another tragic event in Paris, Adeline must decide how to carry on whilst mourning a soulmate. After her employer’s suggestion to become a mistress, she feels overwhelmingly obliged to follow that path as it is her only chance at financial stability.
Adeline’s life is short but eventful, what originated as a fascination with a sparkling diamond as a young girl, sees her become a real-life ‘Sparkling Diamond’ of the Moulin Rouge.
