"A typical Di Morrissey read. Love the fact that she puts so much research into her novels. I already knew a lot about opals but learnt a bit more. Would go close to having enjoyed as much as Tears of the Moon - my first Morrissey read. Definitely would recommend." — Sharon (4 out of 5 stars)

" An interesting location to read about but a bit predictable. "

" Always enjoy books from this author - a good entertaining story that's easy to read "
" My first Di Morrisey book, and my last. Pleasant enough, predictable. I found the info about opal mining interesting. But, there are so many more well-written challenging books that I would rather spend my time reading. "
" Was a bit disappointed with this story, it all seemed too predictable, and a bit amateur. have really enjoyed some of her other novels but felt this fell well short. "
" A great story of friendship that develops between 3 women of different ages and at different stages of their lives. Well written and well researched - i feel like i know Opal Lake and Broken Hill even though i have never been there. "
" di morrissey is one of the best women's authors to come out of the 21st century! her descriptive narrative is so outstanding it makes one feel as f one traveled round all of australia!! i urge you to read every book!! "
" Thoroughly enjoyed this book, the scenery, the woman's relationships & the great characters Morrissey entwined. Would be nice to have a place to escape to..... "
" How wonderful. I really am loving the Di Morrissey books. A wonderful balance of lifes happenings without elongated scenes. Beautiful descriptions of the outback Australian scenery and perfectly constructed dramas. "
" A story of three different women who come together in an opal town out west. One has a history of mining for opals, but for the other two they are looking for something inside of them. It rejoices in women's friendships - where age is no barrier. "
" good but nothing to rave about. "
