Dangerous Women by Hope Adams, Hope Adams

4.0

Based on a real life voyage, Dangerous Women tells the story of a group of women who come together to stitch a coverlet (quilt) whilst they are away at sea for 105 days. The women are all convicts who are taken away from their homes & families as a punishment, to start a new life in Hobart. Despite their initial differences, the women come together for this project they have been tasked with, but along the journey there are some heartbreaking moments that they must overcome.

A story of confinement, courage, grief & love, I loved every word. It clearly has been well researched & sits well in its 1841 setting. Recommend!
