Review: The Jewels of Tessa Kent

The Jewels of Tessa Kent by Judith Krantz
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is one of Judith Krantz’s finest books! Like many of her books, this one didn’t disappoint in the least. The characters were well developed, the plot was good, the story moved along at a nice pace, it was entertaining, and an overall great read. Please be aware, this is MY review of the book, it’s what I thought was good, we all don’t have the same taste in books, and that’s fine. I happened to really enjoy reading this book.
Tessa becomes pregnant in her teens; her parents have decided to move away until the baby is born to hid the shame of what their daughter has done. When Tessa has the baby, her parents take the child and raise it as their own.
Tessa goes on and becomes a famous movie star, with leading parts one after the other. Maggie Tessa’s sister finds out that Tessa isn’t really her sister but her mother. Like any child that finds out shocking news as sorts, Maggie wants nothing more to do with Tessa. Until one day Tessa receives some news, and now she decides to sell her jewels, she needs Maggie more than ever to help her with this, and hopefully mend some broken fences.
This book takes you from childhood of Tessa all the way through her life, that is brought before you as if you’re watching her journey right before your eyes.
