Beschreibung
"In 1848, 4,000 Irish girls--mostly orphans from overcrowded workhouses--are sent to Australia under the Earl Grey Scheme, intended to provide them with work and help 'civilize' the convict population. Among them is Kate Gilvarry, who leaves behind famine-ravaged Ireland hoping for a better life. But in Sydney, she faces hostility and heartbreak. As a servant and later a farmer's wife in the harsh Outback, Kate endures isolation, danger, and disillusionment. Through hardship, she discovers strength, resilience, and the promise of a new beginning. The Famine Orphans is a tribute to their courage and legacy"--Adapted from publisher's description.
