  • "PLAYAWAY: Celebrating 20 years in the Australian publishing industry, the number one bestselling author Di Morrissey returns to outback Australia with The Opal Desert. Following the story of three women from three different generations with unresolved issues in their lives, Kerrie, Shirley and Anna meet in the fictitious NSW town of Opal Lake. Kerrie, in her 40s, has just lost her famous sculptor husband who had been the centre of her existence and for whom she made many sacrifices and she now finds her life has lost direction. Shirley, approaching 80, was betrayed by her lover many years before and has retreated from the world, becoming a recluse living in an underground dugout. Anna, 19, has a promising athletic career but is torn between the commitment to her sport which could carry her to the Olympics, or enjoying life like other young people. With Di's trademark storytelling abilities, strong characterisation, and her beautiful sense of place, The Opal Desert is sure to be another runaway success."
