The Outlander by Gil Adamson
5.0
This novel was published in 2007 and I have no idea how it had escaped my attention.
What a wonderful treat.
It gives nothing away to write the story is about "The Widow" and her flight into the 1903 wilderness to avoid the two, red-haired brothers of the husband that she has murdered. The novel depicts her flight from her past and the two brothers bent on returning her home to face what she has done.
The writing is excellent and flows with such vivid descriptive power that you can almost smell the pines and other odors of nature.
Along the way "The Widow" meets a variety of interesting characters, with the story being told in partial flashbacks.
For those that enjoyed Wolf Road or the writing of William Gay and Daniel Woodrell, The Outlander is for you.
Very highly recommended.
