Synopsis

Nothing can prepare writer Hillary Cox for seeing her lover of 20 years, mining magnate John St. George, announce on television that he's marrying another woman. Seeking revenge, Hillary begins a tell-all book exposing John and his shady past. John's sister, Pamela St. George, also wants revenge against her brother. Throughout her life, Pamela has suffered horrifying abuses at John's hands. She sets out to wrest control of the family's tourmaline mining business from him. As Hillary attempts to end her obsession with John, Pamela searches for Cutter Reid, the one man she has always loved, and from whom John has always kept her. Now, a three-decade-old family drama of power, duplicity, and money comes hurtling to an explosive final confrontation with the one man who has so damaged their lives.

Facets is the twentieth stand-alone novel by American author, Barbara Delinsky. When journalist Hilary Cox learns, second-hand, that her erstwhile lover, John St George is getting engaged to a Boston society widow, she is hurt. When he tells her that he fully intends for their relationship to continue unchanged, she is livid. She decides to write a book about his life, but is won't be a sanctioned biography. It will be a warts-and-all expose.

John St George is the heir to a gem miner, and he has established several successful jewellery stores under the Facets brand. But he has not trodden lightly to do so, and Hilary learns the truth about him from his half-sister, Pam St George, his ex-mine manager (and Pam's lover), Cutter Reid and his step-mother and ex-lover, Patricia St George. Despite being warned not to publish, she continues to write..

This is an early Delinsky novel that drags on for about a hundred pages too many. While John is meant to be nasty, vindictive and unlikeable, Pam, Patricia and Hilary all needed to grow some spine, and Cutter managed to lose sight of what was important in life. The best character, despite his secrets, was the man Pam married. Delinsky's later novels are much better.
