Almost since the day she was born, her free-spirited mother Georgiana had told Lily Barton, it was the two of them against the world. Decades later, clearing out her mother's possessions following Georgiana's death, Lily realizes she wants to uncover her family roots-not only for her own sake, but for that of her daughter Sami. The two clues Lily uncovers are a beautiful pearl pendant called "tears of the moon," and a 1910 photograph of a man, taken in Australia. Lily's quest takes her on a journey of discovery into the lives of two pioneering spirits, Captain John Tyndall and Olivia Hennessy. In 1893, a pregnant Olivia and her husband Conrad arrived in Australia to start a new life. Fate connected them with John Tyndall, who was building a pearl-harvesting empire. Together they created the Star of the Sea Pearl Company. Through Olivia's diaries, Lily experiences the loves and losses of these extraordinary people. But what is Lily's connection to Captain Tyndall, his aboriginal mistress Niah or Olivia? For readers who love to sink their teeth into absorbing family sagas, be sure to put Di Morrissey's TEARS OF THE MOON on your reading list. This unusual novel not only examines the fascinating, dangerous world of pearl diving, but also the unfortunate yet inevitable clash of cultures between the white colonists and the native population. I'll happily sacrifice even my right hand, If someone can take me to that Era of Happiness, the author Ms Di Morrissey so vividly describes in this book! Kudos Madam! Thank you for downloading so much information of the past for the benefit of today's younger generation! A must read! A fast Track! A treat to Relish!
