The frayed material of the North American West is rendered in astonishingly fresh light. The Outlander is also suspenseful to a degree that you are often in a state of physical unrest, a condition only occasioned by first-rate fiction.","OtherText_Accolades_2_Auth":"Jim Harrison, author of Legends of the Fall","OtherText_Accolades_3":"[A] great read — a masterful combination of story and prose style.","OtherText_Accolades_3_Auth":"David Wroblewski, author of Oprah’s Book Club pick The Story of Edgar Sawtelle","OtherText_Accolades_4":"This remarkable novel opens at full gallop and never slows.

Her widow, Mary Boulton, and Bonny, her Reverend, are the ideal stuff and stuffings of legends.","OtherText_Review_10_Src":"January Magazine","OtherText_Review_11":"As novels go, The Outlander should qualify for Great Canadian status … Described by author Gil Adamson herself as ‘literary gothic western,’ The Outlander is perhaps the only book of this genre, but it seems at home among such Canadian classics as Susanna Moodie’s Roughing it in the Bush [and] Margaret Atwood’s Alias Grace.","OtherText_Review_11_Src":"Fast Forward Weekly","OtherText_Review_12":"Mary Boulton is one of the most memorable characters in Canadian literature in years.","OtherText_Review_12_Src":"Nuvo Magazine","OtherText_Review_13":"Gil Adamson has chiselled her characters, polished every word, and turned The Outlander into something magical … Adamson’s characters are fully formed, described with nuances and details that make us feel that we really know them.
