The Plot: A charismatic jeweler makes a high-stakes bet that could lead to the windfall of a lifetime. In a precarious high-wire act, he must balance business, family and adversaries on all sides in pursuit of the ultimate win.
The whole cast in this movie are excellent and fantasic and outstanding.
A must watch if you havent seen it yet.

The Secrets of Ironbridge ( Ironbridge Saga 2)
By Mollie Walton
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
1850s Shropshire.
Returning to her mother's birthplace at the age of eighteen, Beatrice Ashford encounters a complex family she barely knows. Her great-grandmother Queenie adores her, but the privileged social position of Beatrice's family as masters of the local brickworks begins to make her uncomfortable.
And then she meets Owen Malone: handsome, different, refreshing - and from a class beneath her own. They fall for each other fast, but an old family feud and growing industrial unrest threatens to drive them apart.
Can they overcome their different backgrounds? And can Beatrice make amends for her family's past?
I love Ironbridge and try to go as often as I can. This book really grabs that feeling of being there and back in that time. The second instalment of the Kings and Woodvines did not disappoint so much drama and tension and it always ends in sadness! Let’s hope book 3 can bring some closure and happiness.
