"Tears of the Moon" is an early Australian novel by bestselling author Di Morrissey, set against the backdrop of Broome's stunning coastline in northwest Australia, the historical center of the Australian pearl fishing industry. Lily discovers her grandmother's tumultuous past through the diary she finds. In the 19th century, sailors and pirates flock to the area where the shimmering "tears of the moon," the Australian pearl oysters, are found. Here, adventurer John Tyndall meets the spirited Olivia, who has lost her newborn son in a fire that destroyed her plantation. To distract her from her grief, Captain Tyndall offers her the tempting prospect of starting a new life together in the Australian pearl fishing trade. However, events conspire to tear them apart, and their love must endure the trials of fate over the decades. Di Morrissey is Australia's most successful author, having worked as a journalist, screenwriter, and in various television productions. She currently resides on a farm in Byron Bay, New South Wales.
