Explanation Toward Books Remember Me
How far must you go to find love?The Queen of Storytellers is back - with a triumphant tale of one woman's struggle over adversity.
In 1786 a fisherman's daughter from Cornwall called Mary Broad was sentenced to be hung 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 read

Based on a true story in the 1700's about the way convicts were treated and banished to unknown territory only to deal with hardship and starvation if you made it off the boat as conditions and filth with lack of food and fresh air could be your downfall which to some was a blessing.

Remember me is a novel based on a true story and so I found myself not only enjoying the story but also learning such a lot.

10 shining stars.. Utterly speechless!!!

I fell in love with Mary and all the characters. I cried, I screamed, had tears of joy, and was
