FEATURING: The Exiles by Christina Baker Kline


HISTORICAL FICTION - AUSTRALIA

What a wonderful history lesson and beautifully written book.

I have never heard of these ships that took female prisoners from England to Australia to work off their sentences and who were charged with crimes of no consequence such as stealing a spoon.

Ms. Kline has done impeccable research and enlightened us about this time in history and had me looking up Mathinna, the prisons, and Hobart Town.

Another outstanding read with beautifully flowing writing and definitely a book you won’t want to miss.


PUBLICATION DATE:  AUGUST 25, 2020
