good story but. . . .

Liked the story, though not one of her best. The historical accuracy is a bit off though. By the eighteen fifties, Sydney and Melbourne were extremely cosmopolitan towns and neither one were accepting England's convicts anymore. Ooops, Ms Sutcliffe.

A great book that will keep you guessing!!

I just finished this book & I loved it!! I believe that this is the first book I have read by Katherine Sutcliffe. The two main characters in this book, Bronte and Brandon, draw you into their lives. Bronte's father, William Haviland, is the warden for the prison in New South Wales. Bronte can't believe her eyes and ears when her father's assistant tells her that the prisoner before her is THE Captain Brandon Tremain and that he is in a New South Wales prison for treason and murder. This is the hero of her childhood, her knight in shining armor coming for her on his white stallion. This book will keep you guessing until the end!! It did for me!! I strongly recommend that anyone who loves Ms. Sutcliffe's books to read this one, especially if you haven't already!!
