Publisher's 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.

Absolutely brilliant.

An incredibly moving story about the first fleet.
A great read about an amazing woman. I'd never thought about the people. Those transport ships were death buckets. Very sad.

Wonderful story

What a fantastic story, engrossing from beginning to end. I’d never given much thought to the convicts who settled Australia but this book has truly opened my eyes. The hardships they endured are described so well in this book and Katy Sobey’s narration is wonderful. Thoroughly enjoyed Remember Me.

Remarkable

Absorbing read. The suffering of convicts and this woman's tragic journey back to her home is extraordinary.

Another one of Lesley Pearse's fantastic books

I really enjoyed this book, the more as it was based on an incredible true story. Highly recommend it!

A book that makes you reassess values

I couldn’t put it down. Once I got used to the narrator being a reader rather than an actor, like in other books from this author. I love history wrapped up in a real life, with love, hate, jealousy and kindness. The phrase that jealousy outstrips all other emotions is so true. Could we endure such conditions today? I very much doubt it. This is about the settler grit that Kiwis and Aussies come from. An excellent depiction of Australia in 1780s.
