Into the Wilderness
by Sara Donati
I had a hard time getting past the obvious influence of Diana Gabaldon and Outlander in this book. It seems like this author loved that series, as do I, and set out to recreate its magic, which she vaguely succeeded in. The story was absorbing enough and she brought the time and setting to life, but something was lacking in the characters. I didn’t fall in love with Nathaniel or want to be Elizabeth. I actually enjoyed the secondary characters of Curiosity, Falling Day, and even Hannah more than the main characters. That said, it’s a good solid historical fiction novel and I will probably seek out the next one. Fans of Outlander who have this recommended to them as I did, read and enjoy but try not to compare.
