The powerful new novel from master storyteller Jackie French
The soldiers called her the Angel of Waterloo...Henrietta Bartlett, the esteemed surgeon's daughter who was born on a battlefield, lost her mother on a battlefield, and was widowed on the battlefield, where she worked alongside her father on that fateful day in June 1815.

The new and faraway colony of New South Wales seems a paradise, where even convicts have a chance of a good life, and the Indigenous women are eager to teach Hen their vast knowledge of medical lore. But as the fallout of Europe's wars casts its dark shadows in the colony, Hen must work hard to find her place in this new country ...
