The Exiles by Christina Baker Kline

  The story about the women who are exiled to the Australian continent for myriad infractions ranging from theft to prostitution even murder is interesting, poignant, and memorable. The horrible conditions they face during transport and subsequently in prison is sad but it is also very much an important part of the history of this continent. The inclusion of the side story of an aboriginal orphan seemed peripheral and incomplete and did not work for me as part of this story. The story of the horrific treatment of Aboriginal people is an important story that cannot be used as a side story or comparison to that of the "Exiles".
