First published in 1959, Unwilling Emigrants is based on a bundle of tattered letters that were discovered when the old police building in Toodyay, 63 miles NE of Perth, Australia, was demolished in 1931. The letters written by Myra Sykes to her husband William, who was sentenced to penal servitude, tell a moving tale of heartbreak and longing and give an extraordinary insight into the effect of convict life upon the human spirit.
