Description
The Penny Heart by Martine Bailey is a gripping historical mystery that follows Mary Jebb as she navigates the harsh penal colony of Botany Bay. After being sentenced to death for a confidence trick, Mary's reprieve comes with a steep price: seven years in captivity. When Mary sends two pennies engraved with a promise to the men who sealed her fate, they set off a chain reaction that draws Grace Moore into a world of deceit and double-crossing. As Grace becomes embroiled in this treacherous landscape, she must confront the secrets and lies that have shaped her own life. A tale of revenge, murder, and betrayal, The Penny Heart is a gripping story of survival and redemption set against the unforgiving backdrop of 19th-century Australia.
