Amazon.com
In this ambitious and vibrant sequel to The Last of the Mohicans, Elizabeth Middleton, a well-educated spinster of 29, journeys from her home in England to her father's lands in upstate New York in 1792. Her widowed father has promised Elizabeth that she can become the schoolteacher for the local children, but on her arrival at Paradise, her father's property, she learns that he has brought her to America under false pretenses. It is his intention to find her a husband, preferably the well-respected physician, Richard Todd.
Though Elizabeth has no intention to marry, she is immediately drawn, not to Richard, but to backwoodsman Nathaniel Bonner, son of Dan'l "Hawkeye" Bonner, hero of the James Fenimore Cooper classic. Nathaniel's connection to the Mohican (Mahican) people is a strong one; he considers Hawkeye's adoptive father, Chingachgook, his grandfather, and his own wife was a Mahican woman who died in childbirth several years earlier.
Elizabeth learns from her father that her inheritance is a part of his lands, a mountain known as Hidden Wolf, to be granted to her when she marries. She soon finds herself caught between Nathaniel and the Mahicans, who want to buy back the mountain from her father as part of their hunting grounds, and Richard, who wants the land for himself and sees Elizabeth as the route to it. Her father, fearful that the sale of Hidden Wolf to the Mahicans will bring more Indians back to Paradise, favors Richard.
Knowing Richard's main interest in her is her land, Elizabeth resists his attentions as she gets to know Nathaniel and his people. The backwoodsmen and their Indian friends accept her and respect her opinions, and she soon finds herself siding with their claim to Hidden Wolf. Meanwhile, the attraction between her and Nathaniel grows into a love that only adds to the conflict between the whites and the Indians.
Into the Wilderness is an intelligent and beautifully written historical novel that draws the reader into another world. Elizabeth and Nathaniel are well-rounded and intelligent characters, and the secondary characters are also strong, three-dimensional, and often entertainingly quirky. Although the book is long--nearly 700 words--tight pacing makes it an entertaining read. Fans of Diana Gabaldon will want to watch for a cameo appearance by one of the characters of Gabaldon's stunning Outlander series. --Lisa Wanttaja -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Gebundene Ausgabe .
From Booklist
The desire to educate children of all races takes Elizabeth Middleton from her comfortable home in England to the wilderness of eighteenth-century upstate New York where her father, the judge, rules the domain. Independent in spirit, she is appalled at her father's plans to marry her off to a rich doctor. Enter Nathaniel Bonner of the broad shoulders, flowing locks, and dangling earring. He is the son of Hawkeye, who is the adopted son of Chingachgook (Donati's use of James Fenimore Cooper character names and settings enhances her tale's aura of authenticity), and a multifaceted romantic hero passionate about family and his home on a mountain called Hidden Wolf. Elizabeth not only falls in love with Nathaniel but also figures out how to protect Hidden Wolf from the scheming of her father's crony and avoid the dreaded marriage. Smart and tough, she sets out for help alone when Nathaniel is gravely wounded deep in the woods, fighting her way through miles of backcountry and defending herself from a murderous rapist. Donati's captivating saga is much like the books in Diana Gabaldon's best-selling Outlander series, and it is definitely the romance of the year when it comes to transcending genre boundaries and appealing to readers who love lush historical epics or thrilling backwoods adventure.

Einleitungssatz
Elizabeth Middleton, twenty-nine years old and unmarried, overly educated and excessively rational, knowing right from wrong and fancy from fact, woke in a nest of marten and fox pelts to the sight of an eagle circling overhead, and saw at once that it could not be far to Paradise.

Besides Diana Gabaldon's Outlander Series there are very few books that you actually live instead of just read. "Into the Wilderness" is one of those books. The places and people described in the pioneer setting is excellent. And Elizabeth is a heroine that I wanted to cheer for. The love that she comes to share with Nathaniel is so great that I found myself crying and laughing at their adversities and triumphs. Elizabeth and Nathaniel are two characters that you come to hold close to your heart. This book is all in all a must read.

I can't believe so many people loved this book. the subject matter is interesting & I thought the historical detail was done well, but most of the characters are completely one-dimensional - either very, very good or impossibly evil. and daniel was really annoying after awhile - so sensitive, great lover, great warrior, great body - totally unbelievable. does this author really teach creative writing?

Outlander lässt grüssen
Dieses Buch ist spitze. Es erinnert an Diana Gabaldons Outlander serie und ist auch noch so gut. Man kann es kaum weglegen und ist voll und ganz in dieser Welt eingetaucht. Lesen Sie weiter...

I didn't expect it to be this good...
When I first saw this book at my in-law's house I wasn't the least interested. Then one day I was bored and started reading it - I couldn't put it down. Lesen Sie weiter...

Gabaldon wannabe
If you're a fan of Gabaldon, you will probably like this book. It feels like a cross between the Outlander series and a Harlequin romance. Lesen Sie weiter...

Absolutely Awful
I couldn't finish this book, it was so asinine, and the references to Outlander were just rediculous. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone.
