The publisher on this edition
Jennifer is in prison for an undisclosed crime. Denied companionship, she escapes into her memory and imagination. Peggy Maybee, Jennifer's ancestor, was transported for stealing a peacock. This is all that is known about Peggy but Jennifer conjures a life for her aboard a convict ship bound for Botany Bay. A partial eclipse of the moon used by the captain as inspiration for a sermon triggers a mutiny and, amidst the chaos of brawling thieves, cut-throats, whores and crew, Peggy makes a bid for freedom ... 'Brilliant, seductive and assured' Nick Hornby
