"The Morrissey name has become a sure-fire indicator of a big read."
The Australian

"Di Morrissey is the author Australians love to love."
The Times

Three unforgettable women and the life they colour in a small, Outback NSW town.

Kerrie, Shirley and Anna, three fascinating women with unresolved issues meet in the NSW town of Opal Lake. Kerrie is lost after the death of her famous sculptor husband; Shirley - nearing 80 and living in a reclusive dugout - was betrayed by a lover many years before; Anna, a promising athlete, torn between the Olympics and living her life. A classic Australian story in the Di Morrissey tradition of strong characterization and beautiful sense of place.

"Three women—a young athlete, a middle-aged artist, and an elderly recluse—come together in the opal-mining territory of the Australian outback. Narrator Kate Hood takes on the personality of each woman as she shares her story of love, loss, and acceptance. Hood’s portrayals of the Australian women and men fit perfectly with the story, adding emotional depth. However, all of the many foreigners— whether Italian, French, Danish, or Slavic—have the same indistinguishable accent, which is ultimately distracting. Hood is at her best when delivering the straightforward narratives, in which she brings out the beauty of the Australian Outback and makes the details of opal mining sound fascinating."
