AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Maggie Dysart leaves her little Scots village to emigrate to Australia. She spies a sailor adrift on the sea, he is saved and they fall in love. On landing [in Melbourne] she takes a job as a domestic servant to an up-country station owner, an evil-intentioned escaped convict with one mad-woman in his hovel already. Interesting depiction of female immigrants, "Jenny Grants" and their treatment and for the grotesquerie of the convict's mad-woman. (PB)
