Description

Napoleon has been defeated, throwing an army of ex-soldiers onto the streets. Unemployment rises, wages fall, people struggle to simply survive and thousands perish under an uncaring, unjust system run by the elite of England in a Dickensian society. Two "cleanse" society and curb rising unrest, which gives birth to the Swing riots and the Tolpuddle martyrs, and to provide cheap labour to support socially - connected free settlers, the government has introduced the policy of transportation to Van Diemen's Land and New South Wales.In the smog- laden streets of the slums of London and the impoverished fields of rural England at the beginning of the 19th century, Marianne Goulding and Robert Bright are caught up in this maelstrom and find themselves all but slaves in the New World. The despair of Newgate prison, a death sentence, public hangings, riots, the resurrectionists and a hellish journey for months on the open sea to serve their sentences on an island prison begin their incredible story.Painted against the backdrop of a tumultuous century, this is a deeply - research story of both the founding of a nation and how two lost souls found each other to begin building a new life in a new world.
