England, 1939
At age 19, Lili Hamilton dreams of becoming a war correspondent in the Spanish Civil War. She doesn't want to settle for a marriage of convenience, even though the Scottish Iain Brodie is her best friend.
To avoid the scandal of her broken engagement, her traditional parents send her to a finishing school in Switzerland. On the way to her exile, she meets the dashing Leo Oppenheim, leader of the British Communist party, and a whole new world opens up for Lili.
When World War 2 erupts, Lili flees to Leo in London, embracing communist ideals and free love. But causes need money to thrive, and Leo has set his sights on a daring raid of the biggest diamond center in war-torn Europe: Antwerp.
Lili infiltrates the Jewish community in Belgium and befriends both the Goldmunz family and Gestapo leader Ulrich Lemberg. Despite the horrors of war, despite witnessing the murder of a comrade, she is destined to become the diamond courier between Antwerp and London.
With terrible consequences...
The Diamond Courier is a young woman's fight to liberate herself from her privileged upbringing, for which she pays the highest price. Will love conquer over politics?
An absolutely gripping and heartbreaking wartime story of the enduring power of love, for fans of The Lost Girls of Paris and The Nightingale.
