Summary
In 1786 a fisherman's daughter from Cornwall called Mary Broad was sentenced to be hanged for theft. But her sentence was commuted, and she was transported to Australia, one of the first convicts to arrive there.
How Mary escaped the harsh existence of the colony and found true love, and how she was captured and taken back to London in chains, only to be released after a trial where she was defended by no less than James Boswell, is one of the most gripping and moving stories of human endeavour (based on an amazing true story) you will ever listen to.

Gripping
This book is wonderfully written! It takes you back to a time & a horrific life you re-live with the characters. It’s a book that makes you realize the world we lived it. The classes, the punishments, the horror of the colonies. I could not stop listening to this book!

Fabulous book and story, not a good narrator
Great book, gripping story
But the narration let it down for me
Within the first few minutes I wondered if it was an A.I narrator… very robotic

Well researched and very enjoyable
Very impressed with the reading - being able to reproduce accurately various accents whilst always speaking clearly.
It didn’t occur to me that the story is indeed factual; that in itself is quite astonishing. All in all, much enjoyed.

Dragged towards the end
I normally love Lesley Pearce but this book didn't really grab my attention and it was far too long. I skipped the last 2.5 hours.

Captivating Read
Lesley Pearse never fails to disappoint. Each book of hers that i have read or listened to is brilliant. This one was no exception and also the fact that it was based on a true story made it even better.

Always love a story based on truth
fascinating to know this was based on truth.. confronting and made me think of our Australian heritage in a new way. Narrator ok but had an irritating and repetitive upturn at the end of every clause. needs to work on expression.
