Sixteen stories of Tasmania’s colonization

Set on an island first known to its Indigenous inhabitants as Trouwerner and later named Van Diemen’s Land by Europeans, S. Pitt’s collection explores the human consequences of British colonization in Tasmania. Sixteen short stories connect that history through the lives of one man and his kin, against the upheaval of a place where ancestral traditions and seasonal ways of life meet colonial change. The collection’s structure offers several linked story-length views of this historical subject rather than a single continuous narrative.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in historical fiction about British colonization in Tasmania.
  • Those looking for a collection of linked short stories centered on one family.
  • Readers interested in Indigenous traditions and the history of Van Diemen’s Land.

Book overview

'Eh - how can this be?' Longertalenna breathed. They stared at the pattern of fields and farmsteads and saw no place for them and their kind.

 

To its first people, Trouwerner was the world. They lived there according to the season and ancient traditions as their ancestors had done for millennia. Then their island was discovered by Europeans. It became 'Van Diemen's Land' and everything changed.

 

Through the lives of one man and his kin, the human tragedy behind the British colonization of Tasmania is explored in this meticulously researched series of sixteen short stories by British/Australian author S. Pitt
