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. (
