First published under the title: On Board the Boussole: The Diary of Julienne Fulbert, Laperouse's Voyage of Discovery 1785-1788
Julienne roams the fortress tunnels of Brest, France, cold, hungry and knowing only one thing about herself - her name. But soon she must abandon even that remnant of her identity. She becomes Jules, ship's boy, journeying to Botany Bay and beyond, on a voyage of discovery for the glory of France, led by Commander Laperouse.
Jules/Julienne sees new and strange things on board the Boussole, but what she would most like to discover is her history: who is Julienne Fulbert?
