Fiction. Literature. Romance. Historical Fiction. HTML:Weaving a tapestry of fact and fiction, Sara Donati�s epic novel sweeps us into another time and place . . . and into a breathtaking story of love and survival in a land of savage beauty. It is December of 1792. Elizabeth Middleton leaves her comfortable English estate to join her family in a remote New York mountain village. It is a place unlike any she has ever experienced. And she meets a man unlike any she has ever encountered�a white man dressed like a Native American: Nathaniel Bonner, known to the Mohawk people as Between-Two-Lives. Determined to provide schooling for all the children of the village, Elizabeth soon finds herself locked in conflict with the local slave owners as well as with her own family. Interweaving the fate of the Mohawk Nation with the destiny of two lovers, Sara Donati�s compelling novel creates a complex, profound, passionate portait of an emerging America. Praise for Into the Wilderness �My favorite kind of book is the sort you live in, rather than read. Into the Wilderness is one of those rare stories that let you breathe the air of another time, and leave your footprints on the snow of a wild, strange place. I can think of no better adventure than to explore the wilderness in the company of such engaging and independent lovers as Elizabeth and her Nathaniel.��Diana Gabaldon �Each time you open a book you hope to discover a story that will make your spirit of adventure and romance sing. This book delivers on that promise.��Amanda Quick �A beautiful tale of both romance and survival�Here is the beauty as well as the savagery of the wilderness and, at the core of it all, the compelling story of the love of a man and a woman, both for the untamed land and for one another.��Allan W. Eckert �Lushly written . . . Exemplary historical fiction.��Kirkus Reviews �Epic in scope, emotionally intense.��BookPage.… (mais)

Ms. Donato tells a good tale. The characters have dimension and the historical details seem well researched. I wince when I see an incorrect use of the word “which” when “that” is the appropriate one. My personal problem, I realize. This word choice arose frequently. It interrupted the flow for me, but I pressed on and am glad I did. (

Elizabeth Middleton, una mujer de espíritu independiente e ideas avanzadas, arriba en 1792 a los flamantes Estados Unidos de Norteamérica para reunirse con su padre, que ejerce de juez en la localidad de Paradise, al norte del estado de Nueva York. A sus veintinueve años, la joven no se siente atraída por la idea del matrimonio, y su principal deseo es dedicarse a la enseñanza. Sin embargo, pronto comprueba que aquellos fríos parajes, tan diferentes de su Inglaterra natal, ponen a prueba la resistencia física y psíquica de la persona más curtida. Habitado por blancos, negros, indígenas y mestizos, aquél es un mundo que se rige por unos códigos sociales de inusitada aspereza, que justifican cualquier acto violento con tal de obtener un pedazo de tierra. Así, mientras Elizabeth se va adaptando a una realidad tan extraña como hostil, conoce a Nathaniel Bonner, un blanco educado según las costumbres de los indios mohawk. Esta relación, que su padre desaprueba con vehemencia, sumada a sus planes de construir una escuela para niños y niñas de todas las razas, choca con los prejuicios raciales de los colonos, por lo cual Elizabeth tendrá que salvar numerosos obstáculos antes de ver realizadas sus ilusiones.

This book introduced me to Sara Donati and I fell in love with the entire series. Complex characters, believable situations and emotions are a staple of Ms Donati's books. By the time I finished the first books I was looking forward to the next one. Because I bought the third book first, I was able to read those first three right away...always a plus. (

I liked this book well enough, but honestly, something was lacking for me. I'm not sure I can pinpoint what it is exactly, but I can say I was a little perturbed by two things for certain: the random shifts in POV and the fanfiction-esque insert of characters from other fictional stories.

If you decide to read this book looking for Outlander, just know that they aren't really that similar. You're bound to have the same opinion as me: something crucial is missing to make this book truly magical. That being said, while it will never make my favorites list as the first Outlander book did, it was still enjoyable enough to read the once. (
