Elizabeth Quinn

Elizabeth is as strong-willed as Tommy, so they are perfectly matched and she loves him deeply. She has lived life and was married previously in England, but now she has found the love of her life in Tommy. Elizabeth has a great friendship with Freeman, and hardly realises how much she turns to him to work problems out. Elizabeth knows the strengths and weaknesses of both these men; there is strength in this triangle of characters, because of their great friendship.

MyAnna Buring on Elizabeth

Elizabeth is completely and utterly in love
MyAnna Buring

"Elizabeth is a cockney; a city girl who finds herself in this incredibly beautiful but also perilous environment. In our story she met and fell in love with Tommy Barrett on the journey to Australia from England. Despite going through terrible hardship – being a prisoner on the other side of the world, far from home, starving, and scared – she is nevertheless driven and buoyed by the fact that she is completely and utterly in love."
