He felt like a foreigner in his home town. Nine years of dreary London weather and grey concrete architecture had disarmed him completely. Other things had slipped his mind, too-like the sharp blue of the sky, the clear salt-tinged air and the sheer quality of the light. He glanced skyward in irritation, to where the source of the melting heat shone so unforgivingly above. ZANE BASTIANI stepped on to the tarmac of Broome International Airport and felt the late wet-season humidity close around him like a vice. This book is dedicated to the town of Broome and to its people, a special breed for a very special place.Īnd very special thanks to the moon, for doing its thing that cloud-free night by rising spectacularly over the tidal flats of Roebuck Bay and making that wonderfully special phenomenon, the Stairway to the Moon. It’s a fascinating town, with a fascinating history, marked by isolation, incredible hardships, colorful characters and the quest for riches-first by the collection of pearl shell for mother-of-pearl, but more recently for the cultivation of the magnificent South Sea pearls themselves, truly the most beautiful pearls in the world. Set between the stunning Kimberley and the turquoise Indian Ocean, the town imparts a real sense of drama, romance and passion. You really can’t travel to a place like Broome, Western Australia, without burning to set a book there.
