In 1830, Convict girls Friday Woolfe, Harriet Clarke and Sarah Morgan had been transported to Sydney from London.

They all were struggling to forget the brutal crime they committed.

The adventures of the convict women continue in this sequel to Behind the Sun. Philippa Gregory met Bryce Courtenay as Sydney's history came vividly to life. What had they done? what had she and Sarah and Friday done?
