520 Sent to a Tasmanian penal colony after conceiving her
employer's grandchild, a young governess befriends a
talented midwife and an orphaned Aboriginal chief's
daughter while confronting the harsh realities of British
colonialism and oppression in 19th-century Australia.
520 Evangeline, a naïve young governess in early nineteenth-
century London, is seduced by her employer's son and
becomes pregnant. Sent to Newgate Prison, she is sentenced
to "the land beyond the seas," Van Diemen's Land, a penal
colony in Australia. Evangeline knows the child she
carries will be born on the months-long voyage to this
distant land. During the journey on the Medea , Evangeline
strikes up a friendship with Hazel, a girl little older
than her former pupils who was sentenced to seven years
transport for stealing a silver spoon. A skilled midwife
and herbalist, Hazel offers home remedies to both
prisoners and sailors in return for a variety of favors.
Though Australia has been home to Aboriginal people for
more than 50,000 years, the British government in the
1840s considers its fledgling colony uninhabited and
unsettled, and views the natives as an unpleasant
nuisance. Mathinna, the orphaned daughter of the Chief of
the Lowreenne tribe, has been adopted by the new governor
of Van Diemen's Land. Soon all three face an opportunity:
for a new way of life. -- adapted from back cover
