This is such a well executed historical fiction novel. It is clear this was very well researched. I learned so much about the time period and some of the many horrifying ways poor women in early 19th century England were treated as well as how colonialism impacted Australia and the indigenous population there. The characters were all well developed and fascinating to follow on their journeys, and I felt for the them and the terrible situations they found themselves in often at no fault of their own.
