Book description[]
- "Almost one year ago I arrived in this colony on board an English transport. I am about to leave on board a French discovery ship... the Géographe... a journey I cannot fathom.
Mary Beckwith, convicted for theft, is transported for life to the colony of New South Wales. She is determined to take charge of her own destiny. But she does not reckon on the most powerful people in the colony making decisions that will alter her life forever. Her fate is to be linked to two extraordinary explorers, Nicolas Baudin and Matthew Flinders, and their marvellous Voyages of Discovery."
