The Odyssey of Mary B

John Durand

4.9/5 (10798 ratings)

Description:In 1792, a young woman called Mary B became the talk of London with her story of suffering and escape from the new, pinchgut penal colony in present-day Australia. Here is the story of a courageous survivor, history's "girl from Botany Bay." And here is the story of Australia's founding, told with the dramatic sweep of a great saga. Recognized for his thorough historical research, John Durand brings history, high adventure, and romance together in this true tale of a young woman's triumph. "All in all, this is a good read — provocative of further thought and sympathetic to the characters involved. I’d highly recommend it." Wayne Handlos, Peace Corps Writers "Along the way Mary B meets such characters as James Boswell.... This book is packed with data about the 18th century, including a floor plan of Newgate Prison! Durand also helps the serious reader by including footnotes, which indicate sources and further reading...Durand is also steeped in British literature from the period..."
