Moonlight and the Pearler’s Daughter by Lizzie Pook

3.0

I typically don’t care for books that denigrate a woman to nothing more than male-adjacent like this. However, in this case it was sort of fitting because Eliza was treated as nothing more than a pearler’s daughter. The premise was interesting and the atmospheric descriptions really gave me a sense of what the town was like (very mildewed and damp, apparently). I wish the characters were a bit more fleshed out, though. I found it hard to want to care about them and didn’t really understand some of their motivations in conjunction with the character that was being presented.

I received this book for free in a Goodreads giveaway. This review is my honest opinion of the book.
