Diamonds and Pearls (2011) is an anthology in which Elaine Everest appears alongside other authors. It predates her debut novel by two years and represents her early steps into published fiction. Short fiction anthologies were a common route for writers building their careers before novel publication, and Everest’s appearance here is a small but interesting piece of her pre-series bibliography.
For readers working through her complete output in order, this is the earliest item. It is not required reading for anyone approaching her through the Woolworths or Teashop Girls series, but it fills in the picture of how she developed as a writer during the years before her longer fiction found its audience.
