Remember Me

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Remember Me by Lesley Pearse, read by Kerry Howard.

She made one mistake, and now she'll never see home again . . .

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.

It will take all her courage just to survive.

But Mary is also determined to make something of herself in this rugged man's world. And she dreams that one day she will find a way of crossing the cruel seas that lie between her and home . . .

—— from the publisher's description

With characters it is impossible not to care about . . . this is storytelling at its very best

—— Daily Mail

An emotional and moving epic you won't forget in a hurry

—— Woman's Weekly

It's a novel that simply roars along, full of proper LOL moments as well as real poignancy. Aisling is the perfect heroine for our chaotic times.

—— Sarra Manning, Red Online

This hilarious Irish bestseller, which came to life via a viral Facebook page, follows country girl Aisling as she moves from her hometown to big city living in Dublin. She's sweet, a little clueless but a force to be reckoned with

Both Aisling and the novel have a great big thumping heart

My unofficial autobiography

Aisling is an absolute gem of a character and this book is a breath of fresh air

A loving ode to a certain type of Irish woman that's hilarious, comforting and warm. A hot water bottle of a book, if you will

—— The Daily Edge

Sweet, charming, funny and poignant

—— The Journal

Every Irish person knows an Aisling, and there is nothing more delightful than recognising something familiar being projected back at you through a novel. While the books are both extremely funny, they also reflect a period in Irish culture and centre around a heartwarming story for Aisilings of the ages

—— Image Magazine

Gentle, moving, joyous

—— Guardian

A love-letter to letters and a brilliantly written, moving homage to the power of words, The Lost Letters of William Woolf celebrates the magic of pen and paper'

—— Nina George, New York Times bestselling author of The Little Paris Bookshop

The Lost Letters of William Woolf is a beautiful novel, more so because at times it feels like a book out of time, capitalising on the nostalgia of a time before smartphones, emails and Google. It is a remarkably refreshing read and certainly an interesting one - and it's a debut work that marks Helen Cullen as an author worth watching
