Summary: I enjoyed this book very much
Review: I really enjoyed Tears of the Moon and as I was nearing the end I didn't want to finish it because I knew that I wouldn't find another book I enjoyed so much in a long time. I have been searching for Di Morrisey's other books and have had no luck either here or in the library. can you help me locate her others so I can read them too? Thank you

Summary: Turn of the century Australia...what a beautiful frontier!
Review: I was so enthralled with Tears of the Moon that the day I finished reading it I went on a search for more books by Di Morrissey. She is a phenomenal storyteller! It is rare to read a book and not figure out where the author is headed, but Lily's story was wrought with twists, turns, and unexpected connection throughout her life's story. I loved it so much I convinced my 17 year old daughter to read it for her next school review...she did and loved it as much as I did.

Summary: Wonderful storyteller
Review: Tears of the Moon is a wonderful story from beginning to end. DiMorresey is a beautiful storyteller. You can picture every scene in vivid detail and take yourself back in time. The storyline becomes a bit predictable later in the book. But as all great books do, after I was done, I found myself missing the characters and wondering what they were doing. I would love to see a sequel with Lily and Rosie. The characters are lovable and memorable. Don't miss this one.

Summary: A SPELLBINDING FAMILY SAGA...
Review: This author is a born storyteller. She weaves a spellbinding story of a young woman, Lily Burton who, upon the death of her mother, embarks upon a search for her roots. The only link with her past is a beautiful mother-of-pearl pendant with distinctive markings. Her voyage of discovery takes her to western Australia and a town called Broome. It is there that she finds her great-grandmother Olivia's diary and discovers the rich, though startling, truth about her family and its heritage.

This is a vastly entertaining book that transports the reader to the hardscrabble world of late nineteenth century western Australia, which finds young, pregnant Olivia Hennessey and her husband, Conrad, newly arrived from England, embarking upon a journey and adventure of a lifetime. There, they would meet Captain John Tyndall, a handsome and dashing adventurer with whom they would forge a thriving business alliance that would later transform itself into something else for both Olivia and the Captain. These star-crossed lovers would find that the path to true love is not an easy one.

This is an exciting story told against the backdrop of Australia's pearling industry of the time. It is an adventure story laced with romance, as well as an epic family saga. It is a story that will keep the reader riveted to the pages of this book, as Lily's search for her family's heritage unfolds. This book is an enthralling work of romantic historical fiction.
