Fascinating story combining several aspects of the British colonialism in Australia. In one storyline we have an indigenous girl taken in and tokenized by a British family. And the main storyline follows women who were ‘transports’ from En  G land into a penal colony in n Australia. I really cared about the characters and was glad to see stories resolved rather than left hanging.
