‘Gilt’ author Jamie Brenner to sign books in person June 26
Author Jamie Brenner will stop by Browseabout Books in Rehoboth Beach from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., Sunday, June 26, to sign her new book, “Gilt.”
From the bestselling author of “Blush,” this richly compelling new novel centers around a famous family jewelry dynasty and the hidden past that could topple it all. One perfect diamond is all it takes to divide a family. Could one summer be enough to fix it? The Pavlin family built an empire on love. As the first jewelers to sell diamond rings exclusively for proposals, they started a tradition that has defined engagements ever since. But when an ill-fated publicity stunt pits the three Pavlin sisters against one another for a famous family jewel, their bond is broken. No ordinary diamond ring, the Electric Rose splinters the sisters, leaving one unlucky in love, one escaping to the shores of Cape Cod, and the other, ultimately, dead.
Now, more than a decade later, Gemma Maybrook is still reconciling the reality of her mother's death. Left orphaned and cast out by her family after the tragic accident, Gemma is ready to reclaim what should have been hers: the Electric Rose. And, as a budding jewelry designer in her own right, Gemma isn't just planning on recovering her mother's lost memento; she's coming back for everything. From Manhattan’s tony Fifth Avenue to the vibrant sands of Provincetown, Gilt follows the Pavlin women as they are forced to confront the mistakes of the past to have any hope of finding love and happiness of their own.
The author of six novels, Brenner grew up in suburban Philadelphia on a steady diet of Jackie Collins and Judith Krantz reads, and later moved to New York City to live like the heroines of her favorite books. She now divides her time between Philadelphia and Provincetown.
