Moonlight and the Pearler's Daughter by Lizzie Pook

4.0

What an interesting read, I learned something new once again through historical Fiction books. This one dives into the history of Pearl diving in western Australia and a fictional story and mystery set in the 19 century. The story is beautifully written and very descriptive making you feel like you are right on the shore taking in the sights and smells. When Eliza’s father does not return with his crew she will not believe he lost his life at sea but rather that he was a victim and is out there somewhere waiting to be rescued .. The story follows her journey to find the truth about what happened to him and while doing this she finds herself. I was surprised with a few of the relationships and what the outcome was…..

I received a free advanced copy from NetGalley and all opinions are my own. I would recommend this book to friends and family and I think it would be a great read for a book club
