Erema
''Erema; or, my father's sin'' is a three-volume novel by R. D. Blackmore published in 1877. The novel is narrated by a teenage girl called Erema whose father escaped from England having been charged with a murder he did not commit. Erema has grown up in exile with her father, and the story begins in California in the 1850s. ==Title== The name "Erema" is taken from a passage in the Greek tragedy ''Women of Trachis'' by Sophocles.〔Herbert Warren "Introduction" in ''Lorna Doone, a romance of Exmoor'', (1914), page xviii. Oxford University Press〕 The heroine of the play, Deianeira, is referred to as ''erēma'' ((ギリシア語:ἐρήμα)) a word meaning "abandoned", used by the ancient Greeks for widows and orphans. In 1884 Blackmore told a friend that ''Erema'' was "my most unlucky work ... which the British public would not have, partly because they knew not how to pronounce the name."〔Waldo Hilary Dunn, (1956), ''R. D. Blackmore : the author of Lorna Doone, a biography'', page 194〕
