Media Reviews
An irresistible feast of history, adventure, intrigue and tragedy. Epic yet tender. Authentic yet inspired * Clare Wright *
I was utterly absorbed - swept up and transported into convict life. Jenny Trelawney's struggles - her intelligence, courage and grit - as well as Meg Keneally's beautifully understated writing, kept me up past bedtime night after night * Jane Rawson *
A real page turner, this breathtaking yarn will keep you on the edge of your seat * Dr Jonathan King, author of Mary Bryant - Her Life and Escape from Botany Bay *
