A warm, intelligent and powerful novel, rich in history but deeply
relevant to today's world, perfect for fans of Kate Grenville and
Hannah Kent. I will go with the men when they rise. Women hunger,
and women die, so women must also fight. 1820, London. Sarah
McCaffrey, fleeing arrest for her part in a failed rebellion, finds
herself alone and on the run. She boards the Serpent, bound from
London to the colony of New South Wales - and when the captain's
reckless actions lead the ship to be dashed onto Sydney's notorious
rocks, Sarah is the only survivor. Adopting a false identity, Sarah
determines to make a new life for herself. She takes the first work
she can find, under the formidable Molly Thistle, who runs a
sprawling trade empire. Sarah begins to see that there is more than
one way of changing the world, but her new life is thrown into
chaos when her past follows her across the seas.
