Although Rose Tremain is a home-grown...Hi Mystica,<br /><br />Although Rose Tremain is a home-grown British author, I have never actually read any of her books.<br /><br />This one was particularly interesting, as it sounded as though Joseph had been sent to New Zealand for his crime and I have no recollection of us ever transporting people to that particular country.<br /><br />Research all points to the fact that New Zealand was generally considered a safe haven and a new start for felons, who had either served their penal time in Australia and did not want or could not afford to come home, or for those convicts who actually escaped from Australian shores.<br /><br />Nothing for us Brits to be proud of, no matter the detail!<br /><br />I am now, more than ever, intrigued enough to want to read the book, which you obviously quite enjoyed. So thanks for the excellent review and recommendation.<br /><br />YvonneYvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169353030330227923.post-26162068259948234512013-05-11T07:11:19.593-07:002013-05-11T07:11:19.593-07:00I've never read Rose Tremain and always meant ...I've never read Rose Tremain and always meant to, and I enjoy books about New Zealand, so this might be a must-do for me!Marie Cloutierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938166831865436287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169353030330227923.post-11770467252969495352013-05-10T12:35:09.982-07:002013-05-10T12:35:09.982-07:00I've been looking forward to your review of th...I've been looking forward to your review of this, glad you liked it!Sam (Tiny Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16375434438465319913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169353030330227923.post-10090513103681669972013-05-10T07:30:43.292-07:002013-05-10T07:30:43.292-07:00I've read very few books set in New Zealand an...I've read very few books set in New Zealand and non I think that are historically relevant.
