| Alexander, Goldie: My story : surviving Sydney Cove : the diary of Elizabeth Harvey
Book Number: 47099
Scholastic 2002 8vo softcover 137pp very good. Lizzie Harvey, a convict transported to Sydney Cove, is starving and overworked. She has to fetch the water, mend the clothes, please her Master; care for her china doll daughter and tiptoe around his moody soldier son. She can barely find time to dream about the way things used to be, let alone write in her diary. But write she must. It is her only hope of reaching out to the home she has left behind, all those thousands of miles away.

| Page, Kathy: The Unborn Dreams of Clara Riley
Book Number: 47174
Virago Press Ltd March 19, 1987 8vo softcover 176pp very good. This is the haunting story of two very different women in Edwardian England who break the law and outrage society: Clara Riley a washer woman burdened with the memory of two children – one abandoned, the other murdered – and Christina Audley-Jones, a committed suffragist and Clara’s wealthy employer. When Clara becomes pregnant again, Christina, defying the law, procures an abortion for her. Neither woman counts on the burden of guilt which Clara’s action brings with it, and when, in an unguarded moment she breaks her silence, the full weight of the law comes down on both of them. In very different ways the two women confront the merciless judgements and the hypocrisy of the times. Kathy Page superbly captures the social and political climate of England before the first World War.
