About this listen

Friday Woolfe is in London's notorious Newgate gaol, awaiting transportation for prostitution and theft. There she meets three other girls: intelligent and opportunistic thief Sarah Morgan, naive young Rachel Winter, and reliable Harriet Clarke.

On the voyage to New South Wales, their friendship becomes an unbreakable bond - but there are others onboard who will change their lives forever. And in the land behind the sun, the only thing they have is each other....

I love Helen Duff as a narrator. I’ve listened to her do another series and she’s excellent. This promises to be a really great series. I feel like I know these characters so well. Great characterisation.

Great story with excellent narration

Really nice listen. I have listened to all four books in the series and they flowed so well it could have been one big book. Nothing earth shattering but I was hooked on getting to know what happened with each of the characters. Thoroughly enjoyed the series.

Great Series

This is the first book I have read by this author & it's the start of wanting more.
The storyline is easy to get into and the characters very strong and likeable. The historical values are I believe very close to how things were when the convicts arrived here on our soil. Scenes described so well you could be walking the hot dusty streets of the Rocks & Sydney with the characters.
Awesome book just going to get the next in the series, enjoy 😀

A brilliant book
