Description
As empires rose and fell and mighty kings jostled for power, its glittering radiance never dimmed. It is the "Mountain of Light" - the Kohinoor diamond - and its facets reflect a sweeping story of love, adventure, conquest, and betrayal. Its origins are the stuff of myth, but for centuries this spectacular gem changes hands from one ruler to another in India, Persia, and Afghanistan. In 1850, the ancient stone is sent halfway around the world where it will play a pivotal role in the intertwined destinies of a boy-king of India and a young queen of England - a queen who claims the Mountain of Light and India itself for her own burgeoning empire, the most brilliant jewels in her imperial crown. The Mountain of Light is a magnificent story of loss and recovery, sweeping change and enduring truth, wrapped around the glowing heart of one of the world's most famous diamonds.

Not my favourite
I have previously listened to other books by this author that I have absolutely loved and I would never have guessed this was also written by her. It felt different and not in a good way. I’m not a fan of this narrator’s voice so that could be part of the reason I did not enjoy it but it also felt more like someone was reading a dreadfully boring history book than a novel. I am interested in the subject of the book but this just was not well executed for me personally. I managed to suffer through to the end but I can’t say I recommend it.
