Product Description

Product Description

Lesley Pearse's Remember Me is her most recent historical novel.



She made a mistake and now she'll never see home again . . .


Mary, a Cornish mariner's daughter, makes the biggest mistake of her short life when she steals a silk hat. Convicted and sentenced to be transported to Australia, she endures horrific conditions aboard ship before landing in a brutal and barbaric country.



It will take all her courage just to survive.


But Mary is also determined to make something of herself in this rugged man's world. And she dreams that one day she will find a way of crossing the cruel seas that lie between her and home . . .



Based on a true story, Remember Me brings Mary Broad vividly to life in this moving story of a woman triumphing against overwhelming odds.



Lesley Pearse is the author of the bestsellers Never Look Back and Gypsy. Remember Me is a historical novel based on the true story of transported convict Mary Bryant (n�e Broad). Fans of Susan Lewis will be instant fans of Lesley Pearse.

5.0 out of 5 stars A truly haunting story... 2 Feb 2004
By Sue Lewendon VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
I bought this book because it had some good reviews and because I fancied a change of author. This was possibly the best decision I have made so far this year! The story of Mary is completely awe inspiring. I would never have contemplated what life was like for those poor people who were transported, but now I can't stop thinking about them and the terrible hardships they must have faced.
Mary truly was a remarkable woman. I know that if it had been me in her place, I would have succommed to death at the first step of her journey.
Lesley has told this story with great admiration and respect for all those involved. The characters have really been brought to life once again.
I think that's what makes it such a good story, the fact that it really happened. It is just a shame that nothing else is known about her life where the book leaves her.
I have complete admiration for Lesley and know that I will be reading all her other books.
If this doesn't sound like your kind of book, all I can say is that it wasn't mine either, but it is possibly the best book I've ever read. So do yourself a favour and spend the couple of pounds on it, it's well worth every penny!

5.0 out of 5 stars Moving and brilliant read! 28 Feb 2004
By Big Bertha TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
Tells of the first convicts who were sent to Botany Bay and their fight for survival. In particular Mary, who had the most incredible courage and resilience. Even more amazing when it's based on a true story.

Horrifying, the conditions they were kept in. Locked away in the hold of the ships, starving, lying in their own mess, riddled with lice and overun with rats. It was therefore not a surprise that many died of disease and illness on the long journey.

Heartbreaking, when they finally arrived, many of them no more that animals, to find that it wasn't quite what they had expected and their fight for survival had only just begun.

A brilliant book that will have you hooked from the start - it certainly kept me up all night!

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing true story of bravery 28 Mar 2004
By DaniOB
Format:Paperback
This book is truely remarkable and most definitely unputdownable. Lesley Pearce makes the individual characters come alive and the way in which she describes the scenery and landscapes are amazing! Being from Cornwall myself gave it a special meaning for me also but I would definitely recommend this book to any book lover. When I first picked up the book I thought it was not for me as I don't usually go for stories set so long ago but I now realise that not to have read this book would have been a travesty. Beyond any doubt the best book I have ever read.

3.0 out of 5 stars A clever read
I felt through much of the story it was a bit far fetched and didn't realise until the end that Lesley Pearse has cleverly turned a true story into a fictional account. Read more
