Bryce Courtenay 
Jessica 

‚A superb storyteller … it is impossible not to be impressed by Courtenay’s talents‘ – The Times JESSICA is based on the real life of a remarkable young Australian woman who defied the conventions of her time. She had a stubborn streak and the courage to act out her convictions … in spite of the consequences. This compelling, sweeping story is her personal fight for justice against enormous odds, and a testimony to the power of the human spirit to triumph over adversity.
