Description
'Kristin Harmel is firmly in the top echelon of WW2 storytellers' - HEATHER MORRIS
'A master storyteller' - SANTA MONTEFIORE
'A dazzling diamond of a novel' - HAZEL GAYNOR
Paris, 1942: Anabel Martinet is a jewel thief, descended from a family that has spent centuries stealing from the unkind and giving to the deserving. Never has that mattered more than now, in the midst of the Nazi Occupation, and despite the enormous risks, Anabel begins stealing from Germans and collaborators and funnelling money to the French Resistance. But when she takes a pair of valuable bracelets from a high-ranking Nazi officer, she finds herself - and her two young daughters - in the line of fire from the Germans, with devastating consequences.
Boston, 2018: Colette Martinet, now in her eighties, has lived for decades with the trauma faced by her family after that fateful night that the Nazis came to arrest her mother for stealing the two precious bracelets. She too has spent a lifetime as a jewel thief, determined to find the lost bracelet from that night. When it finally surfaces as part of an exhibit at the Boston Diamond Museum, she hopes she can finally find some answers - and justice - for what happened to her family.
A heart-wrenching and evocative dual-timeline novel, perfect for fans of Santa Montefiore, Rachel Hore, Lucinda Riley and Kristin Hannah.

Featured Reviews
I am a huge fan of Kristin Harmel and I was delighted to get the opportunity to review her newest book All the Diamonds in Paris. The story is set in a dual timeline in 2018 in America and in the 1940s in Paris. The central character is Colette a French teenager that has been taught to steal by her mother to help those in need. I loved this book and I devoured it over a course of a day!
“When we find ourselves in darkness, we can’t wait for the light to find us.”
Without a doubt, this book will be in my top 2025 reads!
An 89-year-old looks back at her life as a wartime Robin Hood ~ stealing from the Nazis and collaborators to give to the French Resistance.
This book is about:
✔️Rebalancing the scales of justice and the lifelong effort to do so
✔️Desperately finding a home in a broken world
✔️Our identity and what shapes us
✔️loss, grief, secrets
✔️Being forced to do illicit things for the greater good in wartime
My takeaway: We are all capable of doing extraordinary things to effect change; become an agent of change
I was gifted this extraordinary book by Headline and NetGalley and was under no obligation to provide a review.
