Alice always knew there was something strange with her mum, she ever liked to talk about her life before Ralph, and so Alice decides to find out the whole story. Alice’s investigations take her on a journey whereby she discovers her mum’s chequered past and meets many of the people who were involved in her earlier life. As Alice’s trip into her mother’s life comes to a close, she must weigh up her conscientious and decide just how much she will confront her dad Ralph with, and how much he already knows. For me, Sally's tale was one of harshness, harrow and sorrow. There's little wonder why Sally continually reinvented herself to chase away those unbearable situations she found herself trapped in time and time again. It also becomes quite clear why she also chose to remain a closed book with her children and second husband. I actually preferred Sally's encounters to Alice's, whose were a bit too brief for my liking. Deception has a seemingly simple plot as Alice tries to find out about her mother’s past, but told through Alice’s modern 2015 perspective interspersed by her mother’s decades of life, there’s a gradual uncovering that draws in the reader and makes them experience the truth in the same way as Alice uncovers it in a very satisfying narrative. This story is cleverly written from Alice’s perspective and as Alice is on her journey of discovery, it switches to that of her mum. There are no massive twists, just a really well thought out plot which is both interesting and compelling.La verdadera amistad, la más pura, nace del amor. Nunca muere, nunca pierde lustre. Y sobrevive a la muerte". The book maintains a very good balance, offering just the right amount of intensity without overwhelming the reader. As the story reaches its conclusion, it does so in a satisfying yet somewhat anticipated manner. Nonetheless, the journey to that point is fulfilling and rich in emotional resonance. No sé si odiar a Will, porque de verdad lo odié pero también entendí como Mary lo cuidó a pesar de lo que Will ocasionó. Tantas cosas que pasaron juntos en ese bote que cuando por fin saborearon un poco de libertad todo se derrumbó. What I liked most about this authors writing was her ability to create characters that were complicated and messy but very relatable and likeable. It wasn’t the kind of story where I was wish wishing for a happy ending for everyone, I felt like I was wishing for contentment and closure. Which I suppose is arguably a happy ending. Mary decide ponerle Charlotte ( como el nombre del barco ) a su hija. En ese viaje Mary conoce a unas personas que terminarán siendo sus amigos y una de ellas es William Bryant. Por consejo de Tench Mary le propone a Will que se case con ella, de esa manera tendrá un poco más de respeto entre los demás hombres presos y William acepta.

Quando tentei pesquisar mais sobre Mary, descobri que foi feito um filme baseado na sua história, e vou tentar arranja-lo para ver. Based on a true story, Mary Broad brings to life the horrors that a somewhat trivial crime could bring about in that period of time. 1786, shy of her twentieth birthday, Mary is sentenced to death by hanging, for the crime of stealing a silk hat. Spared her death sentence, she is sentenced to be shipped to Australia to live out her sentence and be put to work. From sentencing, the journey across the sea and eventually landing on the shore and the colony to work and fight for survival. A primeira vez que vi o livro e li a sinopse, julguei que estava perante um romance cor-de-rosa, mas assim que li que era um romance-histórico e li algumas opiniões, senti-me tentada a dar uma oportunidade ao livro. E ainda bem que o fiz. UK historical fiction sensation Lesley Pearse is in top form with her latest melodrama about a daughter confronted with a truth that leads to her unraveling the past.

Este libro me lo recomendaron y tenía muchas dudas en leerlo, primero porque es de época y segundo porque es muy extenso pero mi sorpresa fue que lo disfrute mucho e hice ese viaje con Mary.

O livro acompanha a história de Mary Broad, uma jovem que foi condenada a forca por ter roubado um chapéu, mas a qual lhe é dada a oportunidade de ir para a Austrália durante 7 anos. No entanto, onde podemos julgar que a sua vida lhe poderia ser mais fácil, Mary depara-se com muitas dificuldades.

This is a remarkable true story of a young girl from Cornwall in England named Mary Broad who is convicted & sentenced to death for a petty theft. But instead she is transported to Australia as a prisoner. The story is enjoyable & captivating; historically enlightening. It takes you on a gripping sea voyage with the first fleet of convicts to Australia. The journey delves deep into the early days of these convicts...the first settlement in the country...How they had to struggle against appalling conditions to make the land viable for survival & living...and the hardships they endured. Raunchier than I’m used to from Lesley Pearse, Deception conveys the eras, particularly of Fleur’s experience, to perfection. Touches of realism such as the musical Hair add a sense of authenticity and the sexist, male dominated world feels so convincing. El libro nos habla sobre una chica llamada Mary que la encierran por haber intentado robar, pero en esos tiempos los presos eran esclavos y los trataban horrible, sufrian mucho y lo peor es que estaban todos mezclados, entonces ya se imaginaran las cosas horribles que vivían algunos. A Mary junto con otro presos planean se la llevan a Australia y se convirtió en una de las primeras exitosas escapadas de la incipiente colonia penal de Australia. A true highlight for me was Sally, a very intriguing character, leading a very colourful life, I could have easily read a whole book on just her and what happened. ENG: I decided to read a Lesley Pearse book hoping it would be one of those cute romances everybody talks about. However, and without me knowing, I chose one of her books that do not fit it that category. In fact, I had never read such a violent book in my life.

Also the transportation of prisoners is another of her stories in these books dealing with the treatment of prisoners who were sent to Australia to start up settlements. The criminal treatment that was involved with the transportation on the ships was barbaric leaving many prisoners dead or not far from it, with captains paid per head regardless of them being alive or not. The constant shortages of food and corporal punishment meted out was criminal while having to work in very harsh conditions and expected to maintain schedule of works.

Eve should never have married Don Hathaway. Yes, he gave her two beautiful children - Olly and Tabitha - but he is a bully. Worse than that, he hurts her. Que haría una sin un amigo? Hasta en la más terrible tormenta no falta el amigo que no podrá evitar que llueva pero estará ahí contigo y será tu sombrilla (paraguas). Este libro está basado en hechos reales. Y creanme que después de leerlo que se llevó un pedazo de mi corazón. No tengo palabras para describir el horror que sentí, el dolor y las lágrimas que derramé con esta historia y es que llegó un momento que por todo lloraba. Por la amistad de Mary con los aquellos hombres. Por la bondad de Boswell y Tench, por las pérdidas que sufrió Mary, Mary separándose de sus amigos. Todo es tan intenso. Mary es un personaje que llegas a admirar y más porque sabes que fue real, no puedo sino sentir admiración por ella y quiero pensar que todos aquellos amigos tuvieron su final feliz.
