“An exceptional debut novel, exuding energy, and masterfully written, embodying the style and flair of a grand adventure.” —Michael Ondaatje. In the year 1903, a mysterious young lady, alone and on the run, traverses the Western region, sprinting ahead of the law in a suspense-filled chase. At the tender age of 19, Mary Boulton finds herself a widow, burdened with the guilt of having killed her own husband. With bloodhounds on her trail, she is haunted by the knowledge that her two merciless brothers-in-law are relentlessly pursuing her, fueled by an unyielding desire to avenge their sibling's untimely demise. Driven by the primal instinct to survive, the bereaved widow retreats further into the depths of the untamed wilderness, both physically and mentally, encountering a captivating assortment of unconventional characters along her arduous journey. Prompted by the raw struggle for existence, Adamson's debut novel delves into the unexplored realms of the human psyche, drawing parallels to acclaimed literary works such as Charles Frazier's Cold Mountain and early Cormac McCarthy. Engrossing and beautifully crafted, this captivating tale of a woman's desperate quest for freedom is a testament to Adamson's remarkable storytelling prowess.
