The Exiles by Christina Baker Kline


It’s 1840 when England is deporting convicts to Australia and Aboriginal people are being taken from their families into service by the white colonists. In a parallel story, two English women convicts, detail their imprisonment on the sea voyage. Kline displays the social hierarchies in Australia at this time with some great descriptions.
