Mae hanes Ann Lewis yn gafael o'r cychwyn, mae'r awdur yn rhoi cig a gwaed go-iawn i'r ychydig ffeithiau sydd ganddi am y ferch o Ddolgellau. Stori hen ffasiwn, dim tro dirgel nag arwain y darllenwr ar gyfeiliorn sy'n digwydd mewn cymaint o straeon dyddia' 'ma!

Wonderful to read an element of Australia's history in Welsh. As always, anything by Bethan Gwanas is worth the effort/

Wedi darllen hwn am yr ail waith a wedi ei fwynhau cyngymaint a’r tro cyntaf. Mor rhwydd i’w ddarllen efo stori a chymeriadau da sydd yn teimlo’n fyw i’r darllenydd.

Roedd y dechrau yn eithaf araf i fi, ond roedd y stori mynd mor hudol. Daeth y diwedd yn sydyn heb i fi ddisgwyl diwedd fel hyn. Mae'r stori eithaf trist, annisgwyl ac yn hanesyddol. Diddorol iawn!

Teitl camarweiniol. Stori dda ond treulio’r holl lyfr yn aros i fynd i Botany Bay! Efallai wedi ei or-ymchwilio a gormod o wybodaeth hanesyddol.

‘Chydig yn araf oedd y cychwyn i mi ond buan iawn cafodd y stori hanesyddol yma ei afael arnai! Wedi mwynhau hi’n fawr iawn.
