APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Iconic Aussie author Di Morrissey’s novels are always embedded in a specific place. Tears of the Moon unfolds against the backdrop of the sparkling water and vast stretches of coastline in northwestern Australia. Morrissey is magpie-like in her attention to historical detail: the two resilient women at the book’s heart are brought vividly to life, as are the mosaic of cultures of Broome’s 19th-century pearling community. The novel keeps a breathless pace, tracing powerful emotional and family bonds—and teardrop pearls—across centuries.
