Remember Me

Product Information

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. Deception has a seemingly simple plot as Alice tries to find out about her mother’s past, but told through Alice’s modern 2015 perspective interspersed by her mother’s decades of life, there’s a gradual uncovering that draws in the reader and makes them experience the truth in the same way as Alice uncovers it in a very satisfying narrative. 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.

Los hijos de los esclavos. Por Dios!!!! Es horrible todo por lo que pasaban en aquellos tiempos. Es inhumano, era horrible. Alice always knew that her mother had faults and kept secrets but learning this information sets her off on a path to find out more about her life before Ralph. She wants to uncover the whole truth; the good and the bad. No sé si odiar a Will, porque de verdad lo odié pero también entendí como Mary lo cuidó a pesar de lo que Will ocasionó. Tantas cosas que pasaron juntos en ese bote que cuando por fin saborearon un poco de libertad todo se derrumbó. Personally, I found "Deception" to be thoroughly enjoyable. Lesley Pearse’s work is a definite recommendation if you have an affinity for crime and mystery genres.

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.

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. E ainda bem que o fiz. Mary, a Cornish mariner's daughter made the biggest mistake of her short life when she steals a silk hat. Convicted and sentenced to be transported to Australia, she endures horific conditions aboard the ship before landing in a brutal and barbaric country

She already knows her mother was manipulative at times, vain, very secretive and never spoke of the past. Gracias a Tench y Boswell porque hicieron su parte en la vida de Mary y aunque no fue suficiente fue tan lindo conocerlos. Estoy totalmente encariñada con Emmanuel​, Charlotte, Mary, James, Nat, Bill, Sam, William, Jamie, Tench y Boswell. Raunchier than I’m used to from Lesley Pearse, Deception conveys the eras, particularly of Fleur’s experience, to perfection. Touches of realism such as the musical Hair add a sense of authenticity and the sexist, male dominated world feels so convincing. For me, Sally's tale was one of harshness, harrow and sorrow. There's little wonder why Sally continually reinvented herself to chase away those unbearable situations she found herself trapped in time and time again. It also becomes quite clear why she also chose to remain a closed book with her children and second husband. I actually preferred Sally's encounters to Alice's, whose were a bit too brief for my liking. This story is cleverly written from Alice’s perspective and as Alice is on her journey of discovery, it switches to that of her mum. There are no massive twists, just a really well thought out plot which is both interesting and compelling.

Once again, Lesley Pearse delivers a captivating blend of personal drama and mystery in "Deception." Her writing style is a breath of fresh air, effortlessly guiding readers through a story that is both engaging and easily digestible. In the beginning, is was really hard for me to get into the story. I didn’t understand some action, it wasn’t what I had expected and so I wasn’t that engaged. Nonetheless, as I kept reading, I got involved in this story in such a way that I finished the book with an urge to cry. The author’s work was really good, her descriptions and the way she wrote it can touch even the coldest of people. It is a good book, yes. But it’s a book that I don’t ever want to read again in this lifetime. The violence of the book and knowing that the plot’s events are real create a pain in the heart in such a way that it stays with you until you read the author’s final notes.

This is a dual-timeline story which opens with Alice on her way to her mother's funeral. When a man approaches her and says he's her real father, Alice is horrified but as she starts to uncover Sally's secrets she realises that there was so much that she didn't know. Interspersed with Alice's story in 2015 is that of her mother from childhood onwards. Both threads are absolutely engrossing. I particularly enjoyed how Alice discovered details from her mother's life that she would never have known had she not met that stranger at the funeral. Pearse weaves the two stories together seamlessly and to brilliant effect. Lesley is international writing royalty, with her thirtieth novel about to fly into the world she has always been a firm favourite in our home. 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).O livro acompanha a história de Mary Broad, uma jovem que foi condenada a forca por ter roubado um chapéu, mas a qual lhe é dada a oportunidade de ir para a Austrália durante 7 anos. No entanto, onde podemos julgar que a sua vida lhe poderia ser mais fácil, Mary depara-se com muitas dificuldades. Sally was very much a closed book but with her new found surprising information Alice is very much determined to open it up. Alice starts to dig into her mother’s past and she throws up some surprising facts that she perhaps wished she had left buried but at the same time a clearer picture of her heritage starts to form for her and along the way she does find some romance. The majority of the book centres around Sally and her deception of which there were many. It begs the question what happens when the person closest to you has led a life of lies and secrets and deceived so many? But, after one drunken rage too many, she has the courage to leave him. Eve is warned that it's a difficult path, yet she needs to give her children hope for the future. Este libro está basado en hechos reales. Y creanme que después de leerlo que se llevó un pedazo de mi corazón. No tengo palabras para describir el horror que sentí, el dolor y las lágrimas que derramé con esta historia y es que llegó un momento que por todo lloraba. Por la amistad de Mary con los aquellos hombres. Por la bondad de Boswell y Tench, por las pérdidas que sufrió Mary, Mary separándose de sus amigos. Todo es tan intenso. Mary es un personaje que llegas a admirar y más porque sabes que fue real, no puedo sino sentir admiración por ella y quiero pensar que todos aquellos amigos tuvieron su final feliz.

The majority of Sally’s, whose real name was Janet, decisions can be justified due to the events that we learn occurred in her childhood which in turn subsequently moulded how she was an adult but still Janet was a character who I never really liked and she wasn’t one bit endearing. She sets about changing her life but to be honest as I couldn’t warm to her at all I didn’t feel overwhelming hope for her that she would do well in life. I didn’t find myself overly rooting for a positive outcome for her because to be honest she just came across as someone mostly out for herself. She was deceitful, conniving, a schemer, treacherous and nasty and despite her childhood I questioned was there really any necessary reason for her to turn out in such a manner? Janet goes through an awful lot but I think thanks to her upbringing she knew no different in how to act and she should have known better. Janet is driven by a demon and manipulation, always wanting to be the top dog and used both men and women to get money and power. But will the road she trod upon turn out to have what she feels be a happy ending? Will Alice too be able to find some understanding from what she uncovers? Deception is a book that I didn't want to put down. I raced through it, finding it so easy to read but also gritty and gripping. I liked the social aspects of down-at-heel London, to Bristol and Devon, over the course of 40 or so years. Sally had quite a life and it made for fascinating reading. A true highlight for me was Sally, a very intriguing character, leading a very colourful life, I could have easily read a whole book on just her and what happened. Quando tentei pesquisar mais sobre Mary, descobri que foi feito um filme baseado na sua história, e vou tentar arranja-lo para ver. I loathed Sally at the start of Deception, but as she transmogrified into her different personas and Alice found out more about her, I felt I had come to know a real woman. Her life choices may have been forced upon her, unwisely chosen or even criminal, but what Lesley Pearse does so well is to show the reader why Sally behaved as she did so that there’s a reality to her actions and an understanding In the reader.Before starting this book, I didn’t know if I was going to be getting sad vibes, happy vibes or something in between and to be honest, I feel a mix up of all of the emotions after having finished. Following Alice’s journey into her mother’s past felt like I was experiencing all of the surprises along with her. It was certainly a reminder to me that we’re all just humans. We tend to hold our parents to such a high standard when in reality they make mistakes and bad decisions the same as anyone else.
