About this listen
I'm Paul Darroch, and welcome to a feature-length episode of the History Islands. This is the true story of Louisa Journeaux, and it's taken from my second book, Jersey: Secrets of the Sea.
It is the Spring of 1886 when the tragic story of an ordinary Jersey girl grips the imagination of Jersey press and people alike. This unsettling series of events fulfilled so many of the sensibilities of any Victorian narrative, offering original sin, a damsel in distress, a dramatic court trial, a terrible ordeal and a surprising deus ex machina resolution. Yet this quintessentially Victorian tale belongs in no penny dreadful or Dickens periodical. It is the astonishing true story of Miss Louisa Journeaux, a guileless young lady from St Clement.
