Ko te kaituhi o te pukapuka tino hokohoko Tereina pani Ka hoki mai me tētahi pukapuka hihiri, hihiri hoki mō ngā wāhine tokotoru e herea ana ō rāua oranga ki Ahitereiria o te rautau tekau mā iwa, me ngā uauatanga e pā ana ki a rāua i a rāua e whawhai ana mō te whakaoranga me te herekoretanga i roto i tētahi hapori hou..
I te tīmatanga o te rautau 19 o Rānana, i whakawai a Evangeline, he kaiako wahine taitamariki kuware, ā, ka tukuna ia i te wā i kitea ai tōna haputanga, ā, ka tukuna ia ki te Whareherehere rongonui o Newgate.
I muri i ngā marama i roto i te whare herehere haunga, kī tonu i te tangata, ka rongo ia kua whiua ia ki "te whenua i tua atu o ngā moana," ko Van Diemen's Land, he koroni herehere i Ahitereiria. Ahakoa kāore i te tino mōhio ki te mea e tatari ana, kotahi te mea e mōhiotia ana e Evangeline: ka whānau te tamaiti e hapu ana ia i te haerenga marama ki tēnei whenua tawhiti.
I a ia e haere ana i runga i tētahi kaipuke pononga kua whakamahia anō, arā, te Medea, ka whakatūria e Evangeline tētahi hoahoa ki a Hazel, he kōtiro he pakeke ake i āna ākonga o mua, i whiua ki te whitu tau te roa o te herehere mō te tahae i tētahi koko hiriwa.
I te wāhi e māia ana a Evangeline, ka tere a Hazel—he kaiwhakawhanau me te tohunga otaota—ki te tuku rongoā kāinga ki ngā herehere me ngā heramana hei utu mō ngā momo atawhai.
Ahakoa kua noho a Ahitereiria hei kāinga mō ngā iwi taketake mō ngā tau neke atu i te 50,000, i te tekau tau atu i 1840, i whakaaro te kāwanatanga o Peretānia he noho kau, he koretake hoki tō rātou koroni hou, ā, e kite ana i ngā iwi taketake he mea whakarihariha.
I te taenga mai o te iwi Medea, kua nekehia te nuinga o rātou, kua raupatutia ō rātou whenua e ngā tāngata Pākehā. Ko tētahi o ēnei tāngata kua nekehia ko Mathinna, te tamāhine pani a te Rangatira o te iwi Lowreenne, kua tangohia nei e te kāwana hou o Van Diemen's Land.
I roto i tēnei pukapuka ataahua, ka whakaahua anō a Christina Baker Kline i ngā tīmatanga o tētahi hapori hou i tētahi whenua ataahua, wero hoki, me te kōrero i te pūrākau o Ahitereiria mai i tētahi tirohanga hou, mā roto i ngā wheako o Evangeline, Hazel, me Mathinna.
Ahakoa he whiu te noho ki Ahitereiria, ā, he maha ngā wā kāore i te tika, he whai wāhitanga anō hoki tēnei mō ētahi: mō te whakaoranga, mō tētahi momo noho hou, mō te herekoretanga kāore i whakaarohia.
He kōrero taipitopito, he kōrero koi hoki, Ko nga Whakarere He kōrero mō te aroha noa i puta mai i te uauatanga, ngā herenga kore e taea te motu o ngā whakahoahoa wahine, me te wetewete i ngā here o te taonga tuku iho.Mai i te kaiwhakaputa.)
