Moonlight and the Pearler's Daughter by Lizzie Pook
3.0
Eliza is determined to find her father after he goes missing on his most recent pearling expedition, even though everyone else believes he is dead she is convinced he's still out there somewhere.
The author really did focus on the atmosphere for this story and the writing is good, but I felt the characters suffered do to this focus, I honestly couldn't tell you much about Eliza other than the fact that she's stubborn and usually a bit stupid about it, never taking consequences into account until she's already in the middle of them.
The other characters are focused on so little that they just seemed really flat and a few were unnecessary, the whole pearling industry was pretty interesting though.
I received this ARC through NetGalley and Simon & Schuster
