### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Well researched and well written
  

*by D***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 April 2015*

Well researched and well written.  I found it was a little slow to get going and made myself stick with it.  I am so glad I did as its a good meaty tome filled with insights in to an awful period of history, and how people somehow survived.  I thoroughly enjoyed it.  Colleen McCullough says she will write the sequel eventually as it is about real people who are documented, and in fact related to her husband.  I do hope she gets on with it as I want it now.I have read quite a few of Colleen McCullough's books, and I think this is my favourite.  For all she is associated with The Thorn Birds, since it became a film and TV series, I don't think that is her best work.  Morgan's Run is right up there for me.

    Great story based on real people on the First Fleet
  

*by C***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 May 2022*

I loved 'The Thorn Birds' when I read it years ago so when I came across this on kindle I thought I'd give it a go.It is set in Bristol and Australia at the time of the First fleet of convicts which were sent to Sydney Cove and then Norfolk island.The story is based on a real person who was convicted of a crime he was innocent of but made the most of his life in the new country and succeeded in getting his ticket of freedom early and settled on Norfolk island  - married and has a family.The story is long and you really begin to know the characters well.The conditions the convicts were sent over in was very similar to the way the slaves were transported from Africa to the USA and West Indies. They used the same ships as the slave trade had been stopped by then.The five original ships were sent with mainly convicts , some guards, and the sailors - none were really the cream of English society at the time.  They were sent with few supplies and poor equipment and yet they did manage to survive.A good story and I found it even more interesting as it was based on real people.
