Summary
The stunning new novel from Sunday Times best seller Dilly Court
London, 1854: 20-year-old Essie Chapman lives with her father in poverty-stricken Limehouse, working on the river as a boatman. Her life seems set before her, never to leave this part of London and forever at her father's beck and call.
Then, one night, she must transport a mysterious man from a foreign ship to the banks of the Thames, a man who ends up renting a room in Essie's house, identifying himself only as 'Raven'.
When curiosity gets the better of her, Essie follows him and unwittingly becomes involved in something far greater than she could ever have guessed. Finding herself on a ship bound for the penal colonies in Australia with Raven and his cousin Alice, this is only the start of a remarkable journey taking her to the other side of the world and back again....

The River Maids Journey.
I really enjoyed listening to this story. I enjoyed being a part of the characters lives. They have kept me company during my long drives from London to Wiltshire and back, a round trip of approximately 188 miles. I loved Essies growth from such a tough upbringing, getting her wealth and making a great life with Jack.
