This was one of my favorite books as a young adult.
In 1810, Laura Sutcliffe and her sister, Emma, inherit Marie Antonette's priceless diamonds. When Laura faces an arranged marriage, she uses the diamonds to immigrate to Australia. Emma is left to marry Laura's intended.
In 1993, Laura's decendent, also named Laura Sutcliffe, knows the diamonds are also her key to independence.
