Based in South Africa and India, ‘Diamond In My Palm’ provides glimpses of the world’s secretive diamond business, and is all wrapped up inside a fast-paced murder mystery solved in the end using biometrics.
However, the highlight is a historical account of some of the world’s most famous diamonds that all originated in India. So, plenty to read.
Acclaim
Dilip M. Menon, Director at Centre for Indian Studies in Africa, University of the Witwatersrand
“Spanning continents and centuries, combining history, political intrigue, crime and passion, it is a story of human fascination for timeless diamonds, while the lives around them are rendered transient. Dharwadker writes a fast-paced narrative with verve and wit.”
Keith Breckenridge, Professor of History, University of the Witwatersrand
“An epic story of diamonds, murder and mystery skillfully woven across two subcontinents, South Africa and India, told with an insider’s knowledge of both settings.”
