Exiles is set in Australia and was widely acclaimed when it published last year. Christina Baker Kline is also the NY Times bestselling author of The Orphan Train.  In addition to Christina, the other authors joining her Crowdcast call are also some of my favorites.

If you haven’t read Exiles, you should.  Here’s what we had to say about it when it published a year ago:

As a young woman of education but lesser means, governess Evangeline is seduced by her employers’ older son and finds herself pregnant and thrown in Newgate prison on a trumped-up charge to get rid of her.  She is finally exiled to a penal colony in Australia to serve her sentence.  While on the months-long boat ride on a former slaving ship to the colony, she meets young Hazel who has been convicted of stealing a single silver spoon and strikes up a friendship.  Based on true events, Kline re-creates in sweeping details the beginnings of a new society in a challenging land. An epic, yet intimate tale, of 19th century Australia.

The paperback publishes July 6; you can pre-order now ($16.99) and join us for what promises to be a great forum.
