A primeira vez que vi o livro e li a sinopse, julguei que estava perante um romance cor-de-rosa, mas assim que li que era um romance-histórico e li algumas opiniões, senti-me tentada a dar uma oportunidade ao livro.

Remember me is a fiction based on the true story of Mary Broad who was convicted and deported to Australia. 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. Trust me was the first book I've read by Lesley Pearse ...I couldn't stop crying...Remember me is a close second. What I feel is that this book and this story don’t have the protagonism that it should, since it tells something so exceptional. I had never heard of this, not even on History classes.

Que haría una sin un amigo? Hasta en la más terrible tormenta no falta el amigo que no podrá evitar que llueva pero estará ahí contigo y será tu sombrilla (paraguas). La verdadera amistad, la más pura, nace del amor. Nunca muere, nunca pierde lustre. Y sobrevive a la muerte". Lesley Pearse was told as a child that she had too much imagination for her own good. When she grew up she worked her way through a number of jobs, including nanny, bunny girl, dressmaker and full-time mother, before, at the age of forty-nine, settling upon a career that would allow her gifts to blossom: she became a published writer.

Based on a true story, Mary Broad brings to life the horrors that a somewhat trivial crime could bring about in that period of time. 1786, shy of her twentieth birthday, Mary is sentenced to death by hanging, for the crime of stealing a silk hat. Spared her death sentence, she is sentenced to be shipped to Australia to live out her sentence and be put to work. From sentencing, the journey across the sea and eventually landing on the shore and the colony to work and fight for survival. Después de un viaje de sesenta y seis días, el grupo llegó a Kupang , en Timor Occidental, en la isla de Timor. Timor estaba entonces bajo el control de los holandeses. Los Bryant y su equipo afirmaron ser sobrevivientes de un naufragio. Más tarde se descubrió que eran condenados británicos, al parecer después de que William se embriagara y confesara en el proceso de jactarse. Para evitar un incidente internacional, fueron enviados de regreso a Gran Bretaña para ser juzgados. Has I read quite a lot I couldn't afford to buy them full price I usually have two books going at once. El 28 de marzo de 1791, William y Mary Bryant, los niños, en compañía de sus compañeros William Allen, James Martin , Samuel Bird alias John Simms, Samuel Broom alias John Butcher, James Cox alias Rolt, Nathaniel Lillie y William Morton Navegante), roban un bote y escapan.

Mas a verdade é que "Nunca Me Esqueças" é um romance histórico, que cobre um período da vida da inglesa Mary Broad (ou Bryant), uma mulher que ficou famosa pelo facto de, depois de cometer um roubo e ter sido deportada para a Austrália em finais do século XVIII, conseguiu fugir da colónia com os filhos e alguns companheiros, percorrendo cerca de 5.000 km num "pequeno" barco. With characters it is impossible not to care about . . . this is storytelling at its very best' Daily Mail Quando tentei pesquisar mais sobre Mary, descobri que foi feito um filme baseado na sua história, e vou tentar arranja-lo para ver. Mary en su viaje en barco ve que la manera de conseguir comida y algunas otras comodidas, es vendiendo su cuerpo, en el libro se maneja que fue con Graham con quien mantiene esa relación y del cual queda embarazada pero otros aseguran que la bebé era de Tench. It was such a griping story filled with lots of emotions. I fell in love with Mary and all the characters. I cried, I screamed, had tears of joy, and was on the edge of my bed most of time rooting for her survival and others.
