Precious Objects : A Story Of Diamonds, Family, And A Way Of Life
by Alicia Oltuski

I only lasted up to page seven. If an author has to use an exorbitant amount of similes to get his/her point across, the book is no longer worth reading. That is the case here. In one paragraph, Alicia Oltuski wrote three sentences, one right after the other, with those awful similes. They're just useless filler.
So, alas, I didn't find out about her life living amongst diamonds which has been the family's livelihood for generations.
Not recommended.
