Tränen des Mondes

"Moon's Tears" is one of the early Australian novels by bestselling author Di Morrissey, set against the backdrop of the stunning coastline of Broome in northwestern Australia – the historical center of the Australian pearl fishing industry. Lily travels there after discovering her grandmother's tumultuous past through her diary. The shimmering "Moon's Tears," the Australian oyster pearls, attracted sailors and pirates as early as the 19th century. It is here that adventurer John Tyndall meets the spirited Olivia, who lost her newborn son in a fire that destroyed her plantation. To distract her from her grief, Captain Tyndall offers her the enticing prospect of starting a new life together in the Australian pearl fishing industry. However, events pull them apart, and their love must endure against the odds of fate for decades. Di Morrissey is Australia's most successful author. She has worked as a journalist for women's magazines, radio, and television, written screenplays and plays, and contributed to numerous TV productions. She currently lives on a farm in Byron Bay, New South Wales.
