The remote town of Broome is Australia's last frontier and the perfect place for those with bad-and good or innocent-purposes to hide. In this sequel to TEARS OF THE MOON, we again meet up with Lily Barton as she continues her pearl farming venture. Many other characters are reintroduced, including Lily's daughter, Sami, who comes to terms with her Aboriginal roots. Narrator Kate Hood skillfully presents mother and daughter, the elderly and feisty Biddy and other Broome residents, as well as visitors from Afghanistan, Japan, and China-all of whom converge to share the myths and legends of their lives. Those who enjoy an exotic locale and an unpredictable story will love KIMBERLY SUN. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

This review is from: Kimberley Sun: Library Edition (Audio CD)

Expertly narrated by Kate Hood, is an engaging unabridged audiobook of the novel Kimberley Sun by Di Morrissey. Lily Barton is a beautiful fifty-three-year-old adventurer searching for diversity and change in her life. The setting is a beach on the Kimberly coast in Australia, where Kimberley Sun carries readers through the story of Lily and her daughter Sami, Farouz, the son of an Afghan camel driver, Bobby, the Chinese-Aboriginal man who is caught up in the murder of a German tourist, and Biddy, the survivor of the Captain Tyndall and Olivian era as well as the peculiar artist taking mysterious refuge in the seclusion of the desert. Kimberley Sun is very highly recommended an outstanding telling of a truly enthralling tale as well as the sequel to Di Morrissey's Tears Of The Moon.
