I found this strangely funny…
The day I picked up a new library book about a young Cornish woman who becomes a thief and is transported to Australia….this cartoon turned up in one of my feeds
*****
Book Blurb:-.
Jenny Trelawney is no ordinary thief. Faced with destitution after the death of her father, she becomes a highwaywoman to support her impoverished family. One fatal mistake leads to her arrest.
Her ferocity convinces the judge to spare her life, and he sentences her and dozens of other convicts to transport across the seas to England’s penal colony in Australia..
The debut (solo) novel by Meg Keneally (daughter of Australian novelist Tom Keneally ) is a fictional tale about a real life convict and heroine Mary Bryant
With 37 chapters/ 380 pages it might take me a while…
but hopefully not as long as those voyages did 😊.

Sounds like something I would like to read. I might add it to my wish list on audible. That way I will hear it with the accents and all. I find it brings the stories to life and I can keep crafting or gardening
Enjoy
