The Trespassers
The Trespassers | Meg Mundell
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
Fleeing their pandemic-stricken homelands, a shipload of migrant workers departs the UK, dreaming of a fresh start in prosperous Australia. For nine-year-old Cleary Sullivan, deaf for three years, the journey promises adventure and new friendships; for Glaswegian songstress Billie Galloway, it's a chance to put a shameful mistake firmly behind her; while broke English schoolteacher Tom Garnett hopes to set his future on a brighter path. But when a crew member is found murdered and passengers start falling gravely ill, the Steadfast is plunged into chaos. Thrown together by chance, and each guarding their own secrets, Cleary, Billie and Tom join forces to survive the journey and its aftermath. The Trespassers is a beguiling novel that explores the consequences of greed, the experience of exile, and the unlikely ways strangers can become the people we hold dear.

Pickpick

Thriller - near-future indentured workers pass health clearences and leave the disease-stricken UK by boat for a new life in Australia. While onboard, disease breaks out.

Three POVs - a child, a health care worker, and a teacher.

Pretty good but not excellent.
