Library Journal Reviews

In the 1840s, the ominously named Medea leaves Great Britain with a boatload of convicts destined for the penal colony of Tasmania. Among them is Evangeline, a naïve governess jailed at Newgate after being left pregnant by her employer's son, who survives the journey with the help of gifted midwife and herbalist Hazel. Once they arrive, Mathinna, orphaned daughter of a Lowreenne chief and among the cruelly relocated Aboriginal people, adds her voice to this chorus celebrating female friendship in adversity.
