It is the "Mountain of Light"-the Kohinoor diamond-and its facets reflect a sweeping story of love, adventure, conquest, and betrayal. Its origins are the stuff of myth, but for centuries this spectacular gem changes hands from one ruler to another in India, Persia, and Afghanistan. In 1850, the ancient stone is sent halfway around the world where it will play a pivotal role in the intertwined destinies of a boy-king of India and a young queen of England-a queen who claims the Mountain of Light and India itself for her own burgeoning empire, the most brilliant jewels in her imperial crown.The Mountain of Light is a magnificent story of loss and recovery, sweeping change and enduring truth, wrapped around the glowing heart of one of the world's most famous diamonds.

  Family of Women is the story of three generations of women read by actress Annie Aldington:

  Violet, one of Bessie's four children, marries young to escape, into the arms of a man whose life will be broken by war. 
  Linda grows up on a large housing estate in the 1950s with older sister Joyce and her beloved young sister Carol.

It takes a tragic love affair to make her question the limitations of her life and the secrets which haunt her family. 
  Spanning more than half of the last century, Family of Women by Annie Murray is a story of one family - and of the joys, struggles and changes in women's lives.
