After the war, a dangerous legacy...
London in 1947 and Saskia Harper learns that she has inherited the house in which she grew up. The Seigneurie is set in a remote corner of Brittany, the Cornwall of France and for Saskia is a place of enchanted memories. Desperate to escape her troubled life in London she sets out to claim it. But when she arrives at the ancient manor house, she finds that her inheritance is fiercely disputed. Someone else claims to be the true owner, and all seems lost.
Reeling, Saskia is thrown into a chance encounter with a mysterious yet charismatic stranger, Jean-Jacques Sebastien, who has come to Brittany on a desperate quest of his own. Jean-Jacques drags her into the dangerous complexities of post-occupation France, where the wounds of the war have barely begun to heal, and it soon emerges that they have business in common, and far more besides. But as she opens her heart to him, she finds herself struggling to save him from his own dark past.
The True Value of Pearls is an emotional, romantic suspense novel in the tradition of Mary Stewart.
Harriet Smart is the author of the acclaimed series of historical crime novels, The Northminster Mysteries.

The True Value of Pearls edition by Harriet Smart Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Although I was fairly certain this book would have a happy ending; it was a bit of a slog to get there. Saskia, the heroine, seemed to be surrounded by people who didn't have her best interests at heart--from her parents to her second husband, to her loer, to her father's second wife. She was married, briefly, to Owen, whom she loved and who loved her, but he was killed in the war. I found Saskia more than a little annoying at times; although she did finally try to dump her past for a brighter future. I have read all of Smart's mystery series and must say I much prefer them to this book. Don't not read this book based on my review--you may not find Saskia as annoying as I did. Plus, it is well-written and the characters are mostly interesting.
Loved it. Read this after her Northminster Series, and wasn't disappointed.
