It wasn't a badly written book, like some others I have read recently, but it just wasn't my style. I felt driven to finish this book, even though I knew what the outcome would be. The majority of tortures written into the book actually occurred, and that is what makes this a historical fiction, as far as I am concerned. Wilkinson has a gift for bringing history to life. Hannah develops beautifully as a character, and it is obvious that lots of research has gone into this book. Hannah has always been selfish, but the long trip and the factories afterwards open her eyes to enjoying what she actually has. A series of misunderstandings later and Hannah finds herself on a ship to Australia. She is one of the born aristocrats of London, but her father leaves her behind. For more recent reviews by me, please hop over there. I originally reviewed this book on my blog - The Cosy Dragon.
