The Jarrah Tree

by Mary Kistler

It was no easy matter for a respectable young woman in the 1840's to get from England to Australia. But when Dorothea's beloved fiancé is convicted as a counterfeiter and transported to the penal colony at Port Arthur, she determines that nothing will keep her from the side of the one she loves-including marriage to a man she does not love.

Victorian era; Australia, 1840s, is a gothic novel, not a romance

i didn't like this book. it would have been nice if the hero and heroine spent more time together but i just don't feel this is a good romance.
