The Outlander


The Outlander
by: Gil Adamson
Very good - great writing; reminds me of Cold Mountain.
Set in 1903, a woman, Mary Boulton, murders her husband and runs from her brothers-in-law who are out to capture her.
The story unfolds in a great way. Mary is very young and naive at 19 when she gets married. Life is not what she thought it would be.
P.S. I have started to read 2 other books. I was so put off by the awful nature of the books, some scenes too explicit (get my meaning) for me and others just plain awful. It really made me realize what a VERY good book this one, The Outlander, was. Great writing, great interesting story. This book is a step above.
