BLURB //
Two worlds, two women, one story... In 1793, sixteen-year-old Catherine is sentenced to transportation on the Tempest, a convict ship bound for New South Wales.
Trapped below deck with scores of women, she endures storms, brutality and loss, while dreaming of freedom on the shores of a country far from home.
Decades later in Aotearoa, Maori matriarch Keita stands amid the ruins of her whanau and the encroaching world of settlers, whalers and empire. Disturbed by loss and the long reach of colonial change, Keita beings to unravel her own story.
Spanning seas and generations, The Other Catherine is a luminous tale of survival, whakapapa and female friendship, for readers of Jenny Pattrick and Tina Makereti.
Upon checkout you can choose to pick-up the book in person (free) or we can ship it to you for $7.00!
