The Engagements

The Engagements – J Courtney Sullivan

(Virago, £13.99)

If you have ever pressed your nose up against a jewellery shop window and wondered who has worn that antique diamond engagement ring then this book is for you. We follow one ring’s journey through the 20th century as we are given touching insights into the people’s lives who have owned it, and the reason they got married; from lust to loneliness and even love itself, it’s all there.

 

The Engagements is laid out in five sections, each chapter set in a different year, allowing the stories to flow without being confusing for the reader. This is charming, emotive and thoroughly entertaining – definitely well worth a read.
