The Diamond Mine is a beautifully written and thought-provoking story that explores themes of ambition, greed, and the search for happiness.Then the air grew much warmer and the sky cleared. Overhead it was a soft, rainy blue, and to the west a smoky gold. All around the horizon everything became misty and silvery; even the big, brutal buildings looked like pale violet water-colours on a silver ground. Under the elm trees along the Mall the air was purple as wisterias.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
