Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Pink Gods and Blue Demons" by Cynthia Stockley is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of the famed diamond mining town of Kimberley in South Africa, the story centers around Loree Temple, a young woman caught between her mundane life and a yearning for glamour and excitement. As she contemplates her unfulfilled desires in a world once filled with adventurers and fortune, the allure of diamonds begins to stir in her an unsettling sense of longing and possibility. At the start of the narrative, Loree sits in a luxurious hotel, starkly aware of her beauty and the unglamorous life she leads as the wife of a cold-storage businessman named Pat Temple, who is away on business. Loree daydreams about her lost romantic aspirations and becomes enamored with the diamonds that symbolize passion and adventure. The emergence of Quelch, a charming and influential man in the town, adds a tantalizing complexity to her life, awakening her desires for passion and risk. As events unfold, Loree discovers a diamond that mysteriously ends up in her possession, setting the stage for a conflict between her desires and her moral compass, foreshadowing a deeper exploration of temptation and consequence in the world of wealth and allure.
