Language: English
Release date: 09-27-16
Publisher: Audible Studios
Genres: Fiction, Contemporary
Publisher's Summary:
The whole of the harbour was touched with gold - the tops of the quiet waves, warehouse roofs, the bulging folds of sails at rest, the tips of seagull wings - giving him one sweeping glimpse of beauty just as he was leaving, a vision of things as they ought always to be just as they were not....
March, 1912. A sultry Indian summer hangs over the west coast of Australia and aboard the luxury steamship SS Koombana, three tales entwine. Irene Everley longs to leave her first-class fishbowl existence, secretly penning a gossip column as her life spirals out of control into soulless liaisons and alcohol, the long shadow of a tragedy clouding her view. James Sinclair, an investor on his way to Broome is not the man he says he is but can he be trusted?
Abraham Davis, a wealthy dealer whose scandalous divorce is being dragged through the press, prepares to take the gamble of his life: to purchase an infamous, stolen pearl along the journey north.Perfectly round, perfectly pink, this pearl comes with a curse and with a warning - destroying all who keep it from returning to the sea.
Members Reviews:
worth reading. different but very good.
A very interesting way of storytelling as told by the three subjects in the book. I really did enjoy it as it was so different from the everyday novels.
Enchanting, intense and dazzling!
Miya first came to life in Broome when the Aboriginal boy Warlitj was diving for shells; back on board the vessel the cracking open of each shell mostly revealed nothing, but the trawlerâs master noticed Warlitjâs hesitation and was astounded when he saw the beauty and lustre of the round, pink pearl. And so began Miyaâs journey to be returned to the seaâ
March 1912 the coastal steamer SS Koombana was leaving on its journey from Fremantle and up the West Coast of Australia. On board the large number of passengers included Irene Everley, travelling with her best friend Marg; Abraham Davis, wealthy pearl dealer and trawler owner; and James Sinclair, investor from Sydney. All three people had dark secrets â their lives would also entwine in the short journey at sea.
How would the curse of a lustrous pearl brought to life some seven years prior touch the lives of Irene, Abraham and James?
Jewel Sea by Aussie author Kim Kelly is based on factual events surrounding the SS Koombana â the authorâs notes at the end of the book show a fascinating insight into Kellyâs reasons for Jewel Sea and how it came about. A story filled with mystery and intrigue; a little magic and a well-written narrative â Kim Kellyâs latest book is enchanting, intense and dazzling! A definite keeper! I wonder what this author will come up with next! Highly recommended.
Beautiful
It's the second decennium of the twentieth century and on board of the steamship SS Koombana there are several people with big secrets. Irene likes to write so much that she does it professionally and she loves the company of men. She's hiding both of these things from most of the people in her life. When she meets James at the ship he immediately catches her attention. However, is James who he says he is and what is he doing on the luxury ship?
A large pearl is being found and those on board who find out about its existence want to have it. Just one boy knows about its curse. The pearl can do a lot of damage, it wants to destroy, especially those who can't hear its call.
