Title: A good solid read
Review: Patch does a good job of debunking the prevailing myth of bad luck that has dogged The Hope Diamond in recent years.Jean Baptiste Tavernier, the protagonist in my 17th Century novel, The French Blue, was the man who brought the blue diamond to France and sold it to Louis XIV in 1669. Tavernier was one of the most remarkable men of an age known for remarkable men. He survived six voyages to Persia and India in an age when the average life span for a European in East Asia was two monsoons.For his trouble Tavernier received 147 kilograms of gold for the blue diamond, 147,000 ounces) was created a nobleman, became Baron of Aubonne and lived to the ripe old age of 84.If that is bad luck, sign me up!Richard W.
