A review by suzysuzy34
Into the Wilderness by Sara Donati

5.0

At age 29, unmarried and without a fortune to secure her future, Elizabeth Middleton leaves England with her brother Julian and travels to the edge of the New York frontier to join her father in the village of paradise in 1792. In the deep of winter she comes to Paradise and first encounters a man who challenges her understanding of this new world. He is Nathaniel Bonner, a white man, a hunter and trapper, tall and lean and whip cord, uncompromising in his honesty and unhampered by social conventions.

This book follows on from the film The Last of The Mohicans. Nathaniel's father is Hawkeye and Cora his mother, from the film.

This book has lots of adventure, passion and hats off to Miss Donati, this is a brilliant story. Some people have compared this series to Diana Gabaldons Outlander series and it's just as good.

I did read this book about ten years ago, but couldn't remember anything and thoroughly enjoyed it again.


Nathaniel Talkling to Elizabeth - he calls her Boots...
(I'm happy here, Boots. Sometimes when I'm coming up the trail and I see the light in the window, I can't hardly move for fear that it's all been a dream, having you here in this place with me. I'm scairt of being without you. I never was easy to scare, even as a boy, but I've learned it now" His hand went to the bulk of her belly and rested there. "All I want is to keep you safe, and to please you. So you'll stay with me. Tell me you'll stay with me")

This is a long book 872 pages, seemed to take me ages to get through, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Best of all this book and the rest of the series is available on Kindle Unlimited.
