À propos de cet audio
Weaving a vibrant tapestry of fact and fiction, Into the Wilderness sweeps us into another time and place...and into the heart of a forbidden, incandescent affair between a spinster Englishwoman and an American frontiersman. Here is an epic of romance and history that will captivate listeners from the start.
When Elizabeth Middleton, 29 years old and unmarried, leaves her Aunt Merriweather's comfortable English estate to join her father and brother in the remote mountain village of Paradise on the edge of the New York wilderness, she does so with a strong will and an unwavering purpose: to teach school.
It is December of 1792 when she arrives in a cold climate unlike any she has ever experienced. And she meets a man different from any she has ever encountered - a white man dressed like a Native American, tall and lean and unsettling in his blunt honesty. He is Nathaniel Bonner, also known to the Mohawk people as Between-Two-Lives.
Determined to provide schooling for all the children of the village - White, Black, and Native American - Elizabeth soon finds herself at odds with local slave owners. Much to her surprise, she clashes with her own father as well. Financially strapped, Judge Middleton has plans for his daughter - betrothal to local doctor Richard Todd. An alliance with Todd could extract her father from ruin but would call into question the ownership of Hidden Wolf, the mountain where Nathaniel, his father, and a small group of Native Americans live and hunt.
As Judge Middleton brings pressure to bear against his daughter, she is faced with a choice between compliance and deception, a flight into the forest, and a desire that will bend her hard will to compromise and transformation.
Elizabeth's ultimate destiny, here in the heart of the wilderness, lies in the odyssey to come: trials of faith and flesh, and passion born amid Nathaniel's own secrets and divided soul.
Interweaving the fate of the remnants of the Mohawk Nation with the destiny of two lovers, Sara Donati's compelling novel creates a complex, profound, passionate portrait of an emerging America.

Excellent audio book
We live in a remote place, so shopping and medical business requires a long drive to and from the nearest village on the Island. The drive is more relaxing listening to an audio book. This one is one of the best so far, given it's historical value and the things we learned about wilderness survival and the conflict between races. We will purchase more from this author.

over all pretty goo
in the begining i feel the building of relations between the two main characters was rushed and could have been a littke better, but the characters were fairly strong and the writing is decent. The voice actor isnt half bad either. has a few different accents so pretty good too.

Enjoyable
I read this book about 10 years ago and wasn't sure what books to purchase so I thought I'd give this a try as an audiobook. I like really long books as long as they are good. I enjoyed reading this more than I did listening. The narrator is not my favorite ever. First impression was that she was reading too fast. Second her voice reminds me of actress Wendie Malik, which is not necessarily a bad thing. There is something about her cadence and a couple of character voices that I really don't care for, but I settled into it well enough.
As far as the book itself, I quite enjoyed it again. I was surprised to note mention of the Outlander characters which I did not recognize the first time around as I hand read those books at the time. If you liked Outlander, give this a try.
