While one ultimately expects a happy ending, the previous books were full of action and adventures that kept the reader on edge, where every plot twist had potential for heartbreak, death, or other dire and irrevocable perils. Unfortunately, this results in a story decidedly more domesticated that the rest. Donati brings all the story lines to their denouements in an uncontrived way.
The time period of these books covers 1792 to 1824 so they are set after the Outlander books but at the same time a lot of the themes are very similar.įans of the Wilderness Saga will enjoy this final volume, though it is decidedly less vivid and exciting than the author's previous and superlative works and may not attract new fans. There are five or is it six? books in the series and I'd recommend them to any Diana Gabaldon fan as they have a very similar way of writing and very likeable and realistic characters.
The rest is history but of course the path to true happiness doesn't come easy (and let's face it if it did then the story would probably be boring). who is a backwoodsman living life as a Mohawk with links to Scotland. The books start in 1792 when an English woman Elizabeth Middleton goes to live with her father in the wilderness of upstate New York in a small settlement by the name of Paradise in order to become a school teacher. The books are very well written and whilst the plots are no where near as complex as the Outlander books they have many twists and turns to them making them really compelling reading. I found it quite amusing as I already knew what to expect but there is still a sense of "This woman doctor seems really familiar. For those of you who haven't heard of Sara Donati she is a great author and came to my attention because she "borrowed" some of the Outlander characters to make guest appearances in her first book. I decided to finally read "Endless Forest" to finish off the Wilderness Series by Sara Donati.
