Publisher's synopsis:A fast-moving verse novel about the pearling industry of the 1930s. It uses a vivid cast of characters, including the European Captain Jack Falconer, the Japanese diver Takemoto Izabura and his tender Morishita Iwaki, the cook Ah May and the young Aboriginal men Georgie and Clive. It draws on interviews and the documentary record to give an authentic view of this dangerous and ruthless industry
