Beautifully written, unflinching, and brimming with adventure, Jennifer Saint's Ariadne and Elektra are must-reads for anyone who loves immersive storytelling, a rollicking mystery, and a take-no-prisoners heroine. Set in 1896, Bannin Bay, Australia, the novel follows the journey of British pearl-boat captain Charles Brightwell, who mysteriously disappears at sea. As rumors of mutiny and murder swell within the bay's dens and back alleys, 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?
Both a breathtaking adventure story and a moving testimony to the lengths we go to for the people we love, Ariadne and Elektra swept me away from the first page. Emma Stone, author of The Lamplighters, praised the novel as "a truly mesmerising novel," stating that it was "compelling, fiercely feminist, and atmospheric."
Lizzie Pook's Moonlight and the Pearler's Daughter is a must-read for anyone who appreciates compelling storytelling, fierce feminist themes, and atmospheric settings. Set in 19th-century Australia, the novel follows the journey of Lizzie, a young woman who becomes entangled in the world of pearl diving and the politics of the time. With its rich historical detail and unforgettable characters, Moonlight and the Pearler's Daughter is a truly captivating novel that will leave readers eagerly anticipating the next installment in the series.
