From Little Stack
This compelling story blends fact with fiction, reimagining the story of a group of needlewomen who made the Rajah Quilt.
London, 1841. The Rajah embarks on a long and arduous voyage from London to Australia with almost two hundred female convicts on board. Their life on board is bleak and they have no one but each other, and their needlework. Until someone is found murdered and everyone is a suspect.
Moving between past and present, the story is narrated by three compelling women - Kezia, Clara and Hattie - who offer us an insight into the minds of the convicts. We learn that their crimes were committed out of desperation and a need to survive and follow as they not only try to survive their perilous voyage, but the killer who is also on board.
Nearly two hundred condemned women board a transport ship bound for Australia. One of them is a murderer. From debut author Hope Adams comes a thrilling novel based on the 1841 voyage of the convict ship Rajah, about confinement, hope, and the terrible things we do to survive.
London, 1841. One hundred eighty Englishwomen file aboard the Rajah, embarking on a three-month voyage to the other side of the world. They're daughters, sisters, mothers—and convicts. Transported for petty crimes. Except one of them has a deadly secret, and will do anything to flee justice.
As the Rajah sails farther from land, the women forge a tenuous kinship. Until, in the middle of the cold and unforgiving sea, a young mother is mortally wounded, and the hunt is on for the assailant before he or she strikes again.
Each woman called in for question has something to fear: Will she be attacked next? Will she be believed? Because far from land, there is nowhere to flee, and how can you prove innocence when you've already been found guilty?
