Sinopse
Picked as one of Stylist magazine's 'Fiction Books You Can't Miss' and longlisted for the HWA Debut Crown Award.
Fortune favours the brave in Lizzie Pook's mesmerising and fiercely feminist historical novel, Moonlight and the Pearler's Daughter.
1896, Bannin Bay, Australia. When British pearl-boat captain Charles Brightwell goes missing out at sea, rumours of mutiny and murder swell within the bay's dens and back alleys. Only his headstrong daughter, Eliza, refuses to believe her father is dead, and sets out on a dangerous journey to uncover the truth.
But in a town teeming with corruption, prejudice, and blackmail, Eliza soon learns that the answers she seeks might cost more than pearls. How much is she willing to sacrifice to find them?

"A stunning debut...paints a memorable picture of ambition, sacrifice and corruption while exploring personal loss as driving force." (Charmaine Wilkerson, author of Black Cake)
"Gritty, lyrical, breathtaking. I couldn’t put it down." (Fiona Valpy, author of The Dressmaker's Gift)
