The Trowenna Sea

by Witi Ihimaera

a novel

The little-known fact that Maori prisoners served as convicts

in 1840s Tasmania provides the inspiration for this

engrossing, sweeping new novel by Witi Ihimaera.

It tells the story of Hohepa Te Umuroa, who was convicted of insurrection

and transported as a convict to Tasmania with four other Maori in the 1840s.

* Footnote: plagiarism was discovered by a reviewer who googled extracts from The Trowenna Sea,

which were found to match footnote the works of other writers, the book was apparently not republished.
