It is a place where there is little space for compassion, particularly for the women who can never rid themselves of Eve's original sin. The elders rule over the women, children and young men, meting out punishments for transgressions as ordinary as self-reflection. Sisters Juno and Hannah have grown up in the community, but when a stranger washes up on the river bank and Hannah goes to his aid, she finds herself accused of necromancy. The girls flee but are quickly forced to accept help. Hannah, unsure who is friend or foe, finds herself dependent upon and attracted to the man into whose lips she breathed life. Juno and Hannah is a remarkable novella. The vivid New Zealand landscape reflects the journey of the sisters with its bounty of beauty and resources but also with its scars, wrought during the early days of colonisation. 546 In English. 650 0 Sisters|zNew Zealand|vFiction. 650 0 Christian communities|zNew Zealand|vFiction. 650 0 Social isolation|zNew Zealand|vFiction. 650 0 New Zealand fiction. 650 7 FICTION|xHistorical.|2bisacsh 650 7 FICTION|xGeneral.|2bisacsh 650 7 Christian communities.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00858951 650 7 Colonization.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00868483 650 7 New Zealand fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01036791 650 7 Sisters.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01119758 650 7 Social isolation.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01122596 651 0 New Zealand|xColonization|vFiction. 651 7 New Zealand.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204542 655 7 Fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423787 776 08 |iPrint version:|z9781742198750 914 ocn850906276 994 93|bGTK
