For the Term of His Natural Life

Привет, меня зовут Финн, и я помогу тебе понять эту книгу.

Вот она, объяснённая так, будто тебе 10 лет:

Руфуса Доуза ссылают каторжником в Австралию за убийство, которого он не совершал. Местные каторжные лагеря жестоки: там суровые надзиратели, голод и попытки побега, которые почти всегда обречены. Руфус страдает годами, но не перестаёт быть добрым и не теряет надежды. Эта правдивая по духу история показывает, как несправедлива была старая каторжная система и как один хороший человек её вынес.
