One of my favourite books is The Love of Stones by Tobias Hill in which Katharine Sterne is travelling across Turkey, London and Japan in search of a diamond, pearl and ruby brooch once worn by Queen Elizabeth I. The book is really the story of the jewels, told across centuries and continents but it is beautifully written and Katharine is such an independent woman and brave. She inspires me.
