About this listen

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Remember Me by Lesley Pearse, read by Kerry Howard.

She made one mistake, and now she'll never see home again . . .


Mary, a Cornish mariner's daughter, makes the biggest mistake of her short life when she steals a silk hat. Convicted and sentenced to be transported to Australia, she endures horrific conditions aboard ship before landing in a brutal and barbaric country.

It will take all her courage just to survive.

But Mary is also determined to make something of herself in this rugged man's world. And she dreams that one day she will find a way of crossing the cruel seas that lie between her and home . . .

Absolutely brilliant.

An incredibly moving story about the first fleet.
A great read about an amazing woman. I'd never thought about the people. Those transport ships were death buckets. Very sad.

Wonderful story

What a fantastic story, engrossing from beginning to end. I’d never given much thought to the convicts who settled Australia but this book has truly opened my eyes. The hardships they endured are described so well in this book and Katy Sobey’s narration is wonderful. Thoroughly enjoyed Remember Me.

A book that makes you reassess values

I couldn’t put it down. Once I got used to the narrator being a reader rather than an actor, like in other books from this author. I love history wrapped up in a real life, with love, hate, jealousy and kindness. The phrase that jealousy outstrips all other emotions is so true. Could we endure such conditions today? I very much doubt it. This is about the settler grit that Kiwis and Aussies come from. An excellent depiction of Australia in 1780s.
