Alison Alexander is one of Tasmania's best-known historians, and author of Tasmania's Convicts.
In Alison Alexander, Jane Franklin has found a biographer as adroit
and willing to explore obscure nooks and crannies as herself.
*Arctic Book Review*
Shines a bright light on the character of this remarkable
woman.
*Sydney Morning Herald*
Even-handed and often wryly amusing.
*Canberra Times*
Alexander tells Lady Jane's story with a mixture of sophisticated
analysis, personal insight and affectionate humour that penetrates
much more deeply to the real woman. It holds the reader's
fascinated attention to the end.... It is likely to be the
definitive study of Lady Jane Franklin for many years.
*The Australian*
